This game rocks. It really does. It's joy distilled in a bottle. It's fun incarnate. It's the platonic ideal of the phrase "videogames are cool".
Seldom have I seen a game so consistently able to put the player into Flow State. With its killer soundtrack, focused on catchy and recognizable beats, it becomes natural to simply follow the beat and enter into the game's rhythm.
You know... You know those action scenes at the end of movies where the band of heroes finally get their shit together and become supernaturally well-coordinated to beat the villains? They're always super cathartic, emotional and just a blast to watch. And I always get that nagging thought - "oh, wouldn't that be cool to do in a videogame?"
Well, there you have it. That's the feeling I get when I play this game. Its gratifying combat system, endearing characters, hearty artstyle and carefree attitude all contribute to a sense of mastery and freedom that's incredibly rewarding.
At the end of the game, I was almost tearing up, despite the generic plot beats and cliché message. Everything's just so damn well executed! The game has a vision, a personality and a concept, and it just commits to them 200%. I can confidently say that I love this game.
