This is the type of game that generally makes sense once you actually dive into it with an open mind, but you will not be able to comprehend everything thrown at you the first playthrough. Hell, even with the supplementary material it's still hard to wrap my head around. It's political commentary is interesting in a post-war world, although its social commentary is a bit crude by today's standards. In terms of playing through it again, I would recommend going for the PC remaster, as the higher difficulty mode is unfriendly on consoles. This is probably the only complaint I have 'cause everything else is masterful. I'm in love with the music, the characters, the bonkers plot, the ring-related puzzles, the minimalist yet grungy artstyle... It's peak Suda51 and for damn good reason. It's also not a game I would recommend casually. The game will throw you many bones to get you to understand its on-rails shooting mechanic but it's uncompromising in its playfulness and shitpost humor. You will enjoy it or you won't.
