Not only was this a surprise release (which I downloaded immediately after finding out Robbie Daymond was the lead), but it was also a surprise GOTY contender, being one of the most unique and creative character action games I've ever played. It was an absolute joy to play, although levels could run rather long (most took me at least an hour to complete), I enjoyed just about every inch of this game. Some of the bosses didn't work for me and felt more frustrating than fun my first time through, but I imagine that may change once I've really mastered the game, which I feel very compelled to do. The music was really good, and I felt like the licensed music they used was well-picked (although I couldn't help cracking up when Nine Inch Nails started playing on the first boss fight). The story was simple but fun, and the same goes for the cast of characters, although I found myself very attached to all of them by the end of the game.

I really hope this game gets a sequel. Just an absolute delight.
