This reminded me of No More Heroes in that the combat is shallow but effective. It doesn't get old, and is satisfying, cool, and empowering. It also reminds me of Sifu as in the goal is to get into a flow state where you are slashing, parrying, dodging, and activating finishers. I think it is more successful at that than Sifu because the controls are more responsive here. I didn't think the parrying worked well in Sifu. The story and characters are offbeat, funny, but they are also intriguing. The game sets up a alternate history 2022 that immediately sounds wild. It keeps a lot of the story to a minimum, but still managed to pack an emotional punch at the end. The game is buggy (crashed twice on me and some framerate drops), but it never got too bad for me.
