medals you can you unlock all the Remixes in the game. Expect that to take a bit of time, but also expect that to be incredible fun.
I’m not usually a fan of popping my clogs too often in a game. It generally shows me up as a useless good-for-nothing. In Don’t Die, Mr Robot, however, your frequent trips to the robot afterlife is all part of the fun. It’s like Bloodborne but without the demonic creatures or the rage-quitting or the dungeons or the decapitation or the general feeling of a bleak hopeless nothing. So I suppose it’s the exact opposite of Bloodborne, if you’re going to be picky about it.
Whichever mode you decide to play, Don’t Die, Mr Robot won’t let you down. Despite its tendency to kill you dead every thirty seconds or so this is one of the PS Vita’s and PS4’s most addictive games. Quick start-levels, a great soundtrack and perfect mechanics mean that every game is a pleasure, and with the hilarious narration congratulating your ‘acceptable chain’ it’s a hoot and three halves. It’s clear the developer has put a lot of love into this game, and it’s also clear they are crazier than a banana boat full of beavers. Don’t Die, Mr Robot may be simple in design with its arcade graphics and straightforward mechanics, but it’s also one of the most charming and enjoyable indie games we’ve had the pleasure of reviewing.
Conclusion
Considering all the deaths you will suffer, Don’t Die, Mr Robot is so much fun. It’s fast, colourful, funny and dangerously addictive. Choose from a variety of modes and lose your life to unlocking the Remix levels. Somehow the developers have done the impossible and created a game that’s kills you every thirty seconds without twisting you into a furious strawberry fruit juice-filled crazy straw of rage. Have the best fun of your life being dead.
