Another hit by Treasure. Sin and Punishment is an over the top Rail/Gallery shooter that has really deep systems built into it. It is extremely satisfying to mow things down with your gun, slice anyone next to you with your sword, counter any missiles coming you way, or dodge fires and lasers. A very easy pick up and play experience with a satisfying scoring system. The story is extremely nonsensical and kinda feels like Evangelion. Also there is one horrible boss that brings this game a whole point down for me. The game is also just an hour long, which is fair by rail shooter standards, but there aren't any branching paths like starfox so there isn't much cause for replayability here.
