About
The Angry Video Game Nerd has been sucked into Game Land! It's up to you to guide him through three terrible and treacherous retro game worlds!
Angry Video Game Nerd Adventures and Angry Video Game Nerd II: Assimilation come together for the ultimate Nerd experience! This is the definitive way to play the series... and more!
This deluxe collection brings you every stage from both of famously tough action platform games, remixed & re-balanced plus an all-new, never-before-seen final chapter to bring the experience together for the ultimate experience in nerd rage.
Featuring...
Enhanced Visuals!
Experience the 8-bit ugliness in a whole new way!
Updated Game Engine!
And by updated, we mean "Rebuilt the first game from the ground up in the superior second game's engine." Trust us, it feels better.
Improved level design and difficulty options!
Both games are infamously hard-as-nails, but Normal and Easy difficulties come with infinite lives, so take as many attempts as you need to beat the challenge. Level designs have been improved upon to really nail the balance between tough and fair.
Or perhaps you loved the limited lives and ludicrous overuse of instant-death blocks in the original release? We've got you covered. Just select "Old School" or higher from the difficulty menu and you'll be cursing the developers' name in no time.
Quality of Life Improvements!
Faster respawning (When you die, which will be often, you'll just pop right back out of the Toaster and get on with your day, just like nature intended!), multiple save slots, accessibility options and more mean that anybody can take on the challenge.
Surprises!
Perhaps you've never played either of these games, perhaps you're new to the sequel, or maybe you have spent years achieving the world speedrun record for both, but whatever your experience with the series, there are plenty of surprises in store for you!
New Chapter, Completing The Story!
"Wait, the game had a story" You ask? To which we say: ...Kinda! But there's more of it now! Beat both games to unlock the epic finale!
And more!

Well-produced and undeniably fun, Angry Video Game Nerd 1 & 2 Deluxe will definitely lose something for non-fans, but it’s a world above the turgid likes of PoopDie. This re-release elevates the workmanlike original to the point that it almost outshines its formerly-leagues-better sequel, but both games are good stuff. It’s comfortably the best "YouTuber game", and this edition polishes it up in all the right places. If you’re a fan of the AVGN, it’s a must-buy. If you’re not, you’ll probably still enjoy yourself – Freakzone has crafted a meaty, responsive and rewarding pair of platformers that genre enthusiasts will get a kick out of. If you’ve already played both games, the extra chapter isn’t lengthy enough to demand a double-dip, but it is a nice inclusion regardless, and this version is undeniably the better option. (Whoops, we almost forgot the best news of all – the Nostalgia Critic has been entirely removed from ASSimilation. Let joy be unconfined!)

When I first played AVGN Adventures a dozen years ago on my Nintendo 3DS, I didn't care much for it. I found it to be too difficult for difficulty's sake, and while that was the point, it wasn't much fun. I never tried its PC-exclusive sequel.
This collection resolves all the complaints I had about the first game and includes the even better sequel, along with an unlockable four-stage bonus challenge after you complete the first two. This time, I was able and willing to power through the tough courses, enjoying a few laughs along the way.
Being a fan of the Angry Video Game Nerd YouTube series definitely helps, but is probably not necessary to your enjoyment of these games. I've been watching AVGN since the beginning (nearly 20 years! HOW), so I understood all of the references, but the play's the thing, right? The good news is that the gameplay here is strong enough that it kept me coming back, and trying, until I had seen pretty much everything the game has to offer.
Recommended, especially to AVGN fans, but to all enjoyers of 2D action platformers and run-and-gun games.
