About My Friend Pedro
My Friend Pedro is a chaotic third-person shooter that blends platforming, over-the-top violence, and absurd humor. Developed by DeadToast Entertainment and published by Devolver Digital in June 2019, it drops you into a world where a hitman named Pedro follows orders from a sentient banana. The game mixes gunplay with creative physics-based puzzles, letting you use bullets to launch yourself across levels or fling objects. Available on PS4, PC, Xbox One, and Switch, it’s a single-player romp that leans into its ridiculous premise. If you enjoy fast-paced action with a side of banana-related nonsense, this is your jam.
Gameplay
You play as Pedro, who uses a gun to manipulate physics in his environment. Shooting objects like boxes or enemies propels you forward, blending shooting and platforming. Combat feels frenetic, dodge, fire, and chain kills to progress. Each level has a goal, like eliminating targets or solving puzzles, with optional challenges to unlock achievements. Controls are tight, but the game’s real hook is its creativity: one moment you’re ricocheting bullets off walls, the next you’re using a grenade to smash a ceiling. The single-player campaign lasts around six to eight hours, with no multiplayer or save features beyond checkpoints.
What Players Think
Community stats show a polarized reception. IGDB gives it 74.1/100, with 24.3% of players completing it. Average playtime is 6.5 hours, and 48% of community moods are “amused,” 32% “entertained.” Reviews highlight the game’s “absurdly fun” moments but also its “repetitive” later chapters. At $19.99, it’s a budget pick, but 35 achievements exist (70% average unlock rate). Some praise its creativity, while others call it a “cult hit.” Snippets include: “Banana’s got great punchlines” and “Too short to justify the price.” It’s not a classic but has a dedicated following.
PlayPile's Take
My Friend Pedro is best for fans of over-the-top action and dark humor. It’s short, priced at $19.99, and its 35 achievements add replay value, though most players won’t hit 100%. The physics-based gameplay is inventive but wears thin by the end. If you want a quirky, fast-paced shooter with a banana as your moral compass, give it a try. Otherwise, it’s a niche pick, great for a laugh but not a long-term commitment.
