You’ve got to drill deep to get to Pepper Grinder’s best parts, and then it's over before you know it

When I first saw Pepper Grinder, I was struck by how brash it appeared to be. It was this loud, kinetic, almost volatile game that felt like it was tapping into a kind of chaos that other, more sanitized platformers rejected. Crucially, it accomplished this by handing the player a large drill and urging them to fuck everything up. Finally, a game that was speaking my language.

Though the final act is explosive and the climax features some crowd-pleasing setpieces, the game ends before having that one “a-ha” moment in which it all comes together. Some of Pepper Grinder’s detours and mechanics feel additive, but others feel like a bit of a destabilizing agent, especially where combat is involved.
