What I thought would just be a kind of mid Platinum game turned into an awesome adventure that somehow blends pikmin gameplay with over the top Metal Gear Rising action the company is known for. It's really funny to that half of the game is just Platnium Games jerking themselves off with how many references to themselves they throw into the narrative. The narrative is great with just a cheesy saturday morning cartoon vibe and yet has may be one of the worst characters ever created in fiction: Luka. The gameplay takes some time to get used to but once you understand it, the clunkiness of the controls fades away. There are times where the game isn't clear on what it wants you to do, especially with the overabundance of new gameplay styles they throw at you. More tutorials we're definitely needed. Overall though if you're on the fence about playing this game, I really recommend giving it a try.
