I really didn't like the original I wanna be the Guy when i first played it before I learned about fangames. That being said it obviously has some production value and some of its trolls are slightly thought out. For people out there who think its necessary to play this based on it being the origin of fangames Id recommend you not.

Review based on hard mode.
Despite all its technical shortcomings, the original is still a game that I would very much recommend playing, if only just for the clever and hilarious traps, as well as the kind of "charm" it has(you can clearly see the creator has put a lot of love into the game).
Purely platforming-wise, everything is very varied and interesting despite often enough not being all that special nor utilizing any kind of complex gimmicks. Yes, some screens can be annoying(like the section with the couches and the yellow walls), but overall nothing is too difficult and the annoying screens are more than compensated with clever and fun ones. It also doesn't drag on for too much, perhaps I'd actually say the platforming could actually use being a few screens longer per stage.
The bosses, however, are very hit or miss, and certain ones(specifically the Clown Car Trio, Kraidgief and Dracula) are easily the worst parts of the game. Dracula is RNG roulette where getting a bad combination of attacks makes it way harder and practically guarantees death for a newer player, while the Kraidgief and the Clown Car Trio have practically nothing happening at many of the parts, which completely ruins the pace and makes the bosses extremely tedious too fight(Clown Car Trio especially). The rest of the stage bosses are just kind of ok, nothing bad but nothing too especially good either. The final boss is by far the best boss in the game, fun attacks and felt very satisfying to beat(the only "annoying" thing it really has is a couple of easily learnable instagibs in the first phase). Impression-wise, I'd say The Guy more than compensates for the bad bosses if you manage to not drop and actually get to him.
Now a common complaint in regards to this game hasn't aged well, and while it's true for the technical side of things(the engine is a laggy piece of trash that would constantly crash, as well as numerous misc bugs), I would personally disagree with this for the gameplay side. Sure the production value isn't on the level of, say, Overlord or Run the Marathon, and some of the screens and bosses are very unpolished, the excellent(if a bit evil) trap design and variety still make the game generally fun to play through. Not to mention the fact that this is the game that managed to kickstart this entire community speaks for itself.
Overall, again, would recommend playing, especially for people who love a good trap game.

(This review is baased off of my experience with Medium mode, as that is the difficulty that I first completed the game on.)
Ah, the first guy game I ever played. It was late 2013 I believe.
I had just downloaded this game, I already knew where the traps were from seeing countless playthroughs of the game on YouTube, deciding I was ready to take on the challenge once and for all.
It took me until March 2016 to finally be able to beat the game, and damn, did it feel good.
Some of the bosses aren't that fun (Mother Brain took me over a year, longer than anything else in the game) and some are straight inspiring. (I could grind Dracula for hours and not get salty, and The Guy was satisfying AF.)
The traps are creative and can catch you off guard, the platforming is creative, and generally the game is just entertaining altogether, at least for me. Then again, that might be either the nostalgia talking or the fact that I was 10 years old when I first played this (I'm 13 now).
New players ought to give it a shot, but don't wait until having beaten the game to move onto your next fangame, otherwise you'll never move on and probably become compelled to quit (or just get impatient like I did). I started playing Boshy while I was still stuck on Dracula, which was in early 2014 I think. I still haven't completed Boshy. FeelsBadMan
Anyway, I just wanted to share my thoughts on the first guy game I ever played and the only one I've ever completed as of now (5/22/2016), even if it was on Medium.
