  Man on a mission, great game taught me about the value of sacrificing parts of your self to further your mission and honour thy self. 10/10

  Just solo deathrun. It does get frustrating but that's the point of the game.

  This game is not your typical runner game. And THANK JEEBUS for that! If you think the trailer looks fun then you're going to enjoy the hell out of this game! The game looks gorgeous with it's bright colors, use of lighting and shadows, and sounds awesome with it's heart-pumping electronic soundtrack. The controls feel tight enough while running, jumping, one-legged hopping, crawling, and head-rolling, but just clumsy enough to feel like you're a zombie. I love all the ways Ed can get dismembered and still progress forward whether he's got no legs or he's just a head! The game ramps up in difficulty and pace rather quickly but you'll have no trouble adapting and learning from your mistakes. You will die a lot, but there are checkpoints that you can respawn at allowing you to keep momentum. If you've ever played Dark Souls, imagine this game as one giant Sen's Fortress... on acid... with clowns... It's fucking terrifying and a lot of fun! Worth the $10!! https://youtu.be/Tczl7-H_FxU

  First off, just want to say I was brought here by Jim Sterling's positive review. I am really sick and tired of the whole zombie genre. It has just been done so many times and with so little innovation in gameplay. Well, this is it. This is the zombie game nobody asked for but we always wanted. "Ben and Ed" is one of the most charming and fun games I have played in quite a while. It is a challenging 3D runner/platformer with a twist. Ed (the zombie) can have his limbs procedurally knocked off from traps and blades. What results is a hilarious game where you end up either crawling with no legs, hopping with one, or rolling as a lone head to the finish line. The soundtrack is comprised of peppy 80's synth that reminds me of my mom's old exercise VHS tapes. In a genre that has been dead (pun intended) "Ben and Ed" is a lively and fun indie game full of charm and originality. I highly recommend it :)

  Pros- -Creative visuals -Very fun, addictive gameplay -Very fluid natural introduction of new obstacles -All the ways Ed can get dismembered -The hilarious advertisements in the stages Cons- -Stairs are a chore, wherever they appear -Lack of any real story arc -Very short -Not being able to use your head to access more cool areas or easter eggs Disregarding that it's an indie game, it's amazing at delivering the kind of atmosphere it sets out to. The bosses feel gigantic and challenging, the levels are fun with inventive new obstacles, and the game can be outright hilarious at times. A solid 8/10 3D platformer

  One of the best platformers in a long time, and a great soundtrack to boot.

  Very creative and fun game. It's like Takeshi's Castle with zombies.
