My Friend Pedro is a side-scrolling ballet of bullets

With a talking banana

The Devolver Digital super professional E3 showcase brought the cynicism and strangeness of last year’s event to this year’s show, but it also brought some cool looking games. One of them, coming to PC and Switch, is My Friend Pedro. While it has the title of some indie tearjerker about, I don’t know, a walking simulator where somebody gets cancer and you have to go on a spiritual journey to come to terms with it — thus securing several Game Awards and BAFTA nominations — it’s actually a bad-ass looking shooter where a sentient banana tells the main character to kill everyone in his path.

Neat. Look forward to this in 2019.
