Twenty-second GOTW finished for 2023. Really surprised by this one. Still not even sure what the story was about, but the game was very fun. More of an exploratory approach than your typical platformer, which can be real annoying when you initially miss an informant, but certainly not something I'm used to seeing from a NES game with an action hero on the front. Weapon power ups are a little limited, but it feels great to get your hands on the Power Suit and then mow enemies down. Some pop-in enemies due to the system's limitations, but nothing felt unfair or cruel in it's difficulty or placement. Bosses were mostly pretty easy, especially with the Power Suit. The music is absolutely banging and real fun for each level. Overall, pretty pleased with this one!
