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?

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
