Published by Devolver Digital, My Friend Pedro is a shoot ’em up action video game that was first launched last year for Microsoft Windows, Nintendo Switch, and Xbox One and was recently made available for PlayStation 4. It is an explosive ballet about friendship, imagination, and one man’s turbulent battle through the criminal underworld at the behest of a sentient banana (the titular Pedro).
