This documentary is truly amazing. I'm almost at a lack for words about how insanely great it is! What it manages to do is what most normal "game-making" documentaries cannot, and that is to show the pure human emotion in its absolute raw form. It's so easy to connect and to understand the people portrayed in the film. The two most impressive scenes must be Phil Fish at PAX, seeing his game freeze up and trying to fix it on the spot, and Edmund, near the very end, when he talks about how Super Meat Boy could have influenced children into doing the same thing as him. Truly this documentary isn't just about the making of 3 great games, it is more about the human emotion, the human element behind each one. Hearing the creators explain their motives and their inspiration for each of the games was probably most interesting by far. Furthermore the intense, different reactions to seeing the game's success are portrayed nearly perfectly in the film, with the reaction to braid's success being the most surprising of all. In conclusion, although this may be a terrible review for such a great movie, all I can say is: GO AND BUY THIS, RIGHT NOW! Honestly, just stand up and do it. You will not regret it, especially if video games and the process by which they're made interests you.
