Suda brain needs to be studied

A friend once told me he wouldn't play this game because it wasn't in 3rd person, so I stabbed him in the chest 6 times.

Tiene mecánicas de juego interesantes y me gustó mucho que cada mundo tenga su propia manera de jugar, tiene su propia esencia, pero no siento que sea un must play para un fan, pero igual es agradable

The aesthetics of this thing have yet to be topped.

levels are really long and tedious, enemies are really repetitive and boring, bosses die too fast
great soundtrack, characters and story though


Fine I guess but wish it wasn't a rehash and super repetitive.

Worst gameplay in the series, but best writting. One of Suda's best actually.

Good OST as always. A must play for Suda's fans, even if the action segments overstay their welcome. It makes the game way longer that it needs to be.

Insane game, shame I skipped it because its less of a spinoff and more of a prequel to NMH3. Very fun, simple but effective gameplay loop. A lot of characters and it pulls gundam references so its an insane game in my book

Fun game but has repetitive parts or poor level design

a couple of levels were so annoying that I straight up just turned the difficulty down to power through them. but this is mostly a good time

Probably the hardest NMH game to get into since it is very dead simple with its gameplay, and you do kinda need to play it in co-op to have the most fun. But other than that, the gameplay itself is fantastic, the music is fucking baller, and the writing is incredible.

My 2nd favorite nmh game narratively but going through the game felt like a chore tbh, I like the soundtrack and the general aesthetic of the game. I also love the call back to previous Suda games and how retrospective it is for his career as a whole. overall I recommend playing the game especially if you love past Suda works and if you do plan on playing nmh 3 in the future, as the game is very essential to narratively understand the things that happens within nmh 3.

Don't you dare write this game off because the gameplay is different from the others. This has a narrative on par with the first game. It is great if you are not a fan of the creator, but it is incredible if you are. The variety of gameplay styles and genres on display is magnificent, and it is a rare self reflective game where the creator actively acknowledges his short comings.

Plus it has co-op. What's not to like?

Pros:
- Exudes a love for video games

Cons:
-Exudes a love for some of the worst parts of video games

A alteração no formato pode ser incômoda, mas o problema real do jogo é a repetição monótona da gameplay.

A great love letter to the history of
Grasshopper Manufacture and indie games too.

repetitive gameplay a lot of the time but i'll be damned if this isnt in 2nd place for best writing in a Suda51 game (killer 7 always wins)

Best 2.5/5 game I’ve ever played. This is such a personal project for Suda that I respect it a lot even if the gameplay is too monotonous for me to fully enjoy.

No, seriously. It is better than NMH2.

This game is about being a white boy cursed with forbidden knowledge

This game is brilliant, not only does it take place after NMH2 but it builds so much to the character of Travis and the other characters in the NMH universe. Fun gameplay, intriguing writing and cool ost. Must play for NMH fans


i would play this game just for the jean segments alone i’m not even kidding

Oh god where to begin. Combat is a joke, hold the attack button for hordes of enemies, spam the heavy attack button for bosses (highest difficulty for the record). Story is almost interesting before dropping the premise immediately and not having the two main characters talk a single time except for one joke. Levels are too long and have nothing to fucking do except fight enemies. This game eroded all of the goodwill I had left for this series and has a genuine shot at being my least favorite game of all time

Suda 51's magnum opus, its not my favorite NMH but I believe its definitely the most important one as a piece of art.
