Truly legendary

If there was ever a game to refresh the jaded thoughts I have about gaming as a whole, it would be playing Gitaroo Man during a rainy friday afternoon. Even though it just happened, it'll be one of those memories I'll always remember of games I've played like playing the PlayStation 3 version of Skyrim during a snow day with nothing but fritos and a big gulp of Mountain Dew from 7-11.

The soundtrack has no right being as good as it is for a game like this along with experiencing U-1's journey especially despite the early 2000's anime movie vibes (which I really dig here) also somehow having some really great emotional moments that caught me off guard completely. The gameplay is really fun but can be pretty difficult along with the carpal tunnel you'll get after the final boss. Despite being two hours, it's full of raw emotion of the positive kind that it's hard to describe. When a game has a song called Legendary Theme and lives up to its name in spades, there's something special here.

I can go on in detail like I usually do about these games but sometimes less is truly more with something you really enjoyed. It's hard having confidence in yourself from my personal experience and it's always your worst enemy to the point a character will literally barrage you with the intrusive thoughts you have when you don't believe in yourself and despite all that managing to break though is something anyone should be proud of. A musical journey through the stars becoming who you can truly be.

Thank you, I won't give up yet.
