Played it first on the Switch, before I got it again on the PC as an impulse buy.

In terms of gameplay, the game has the Suda51 treatment, and manages to have a simple combat system which never gets boring due to the sheer amount of new things that constantly get added as you go on. While it could feel boring at times, the constant addition of new stuff as well as the sheer variation in the boss fights makes it a gameplay you shouldn't miss out on. However, if there's one place that needs improvement, it's the whole open-world aspect of it. The cities did feel empty, and I was never actually motivated to do the jobs around town at first, which then lead to useless grinding of one specific job. If there was more enticement to those various jobs, then it'd be Gucci.

The game is very creative, and can go any way. One second you're fighting for your life in musical chairs, and then you're reviewing Miike movies with your friend, and now you're suddenly clipping grass.

Easy 9/10, and it could have been a 10 if it had a better open world aspect to it, which encouraged players to drive around and truly get to business (literally; get a fucking job punk, clip some grass).
