WOOOO BAYBEEEE EVEN BETTER THE SECOND TIME I’M CHUMMING OUT!!!!
this game is an absolute banger and feels like a true return to form for modern games. it's so fucking fun and unapologetically itself. i know that's broad and generic but this game FUUUUUUCKS!! it filled my soul with goodness and joy
just about everything here is perfect- the music, characters, cutscenes, story oooooOOOOoooHhhHhh baby
it gives me a giddiness similar to no more heroes except my wife wouldn't divorce me if i let our firstborn son play it in middle school
speaking of which (my wife), the middle of the game does drag a bit in terms of level variety and throughout the entire game a lot of the non-combat segments didn't feel particularly exceptional, but they're still pretty neat! the visual details, creative and unique dialogue, and fun little easter eggs more than make up for this
i don't mind the lack of lock-on as much as other people do but i obviously would rather have it be in the game than not. for the most part it only really bothered me when peppermint's charge attack wouldn't aim for an enemy with a shield; regardless this is something i think they should absolutely add in an update
not having any sort of checkpoint select in the post-game is annoying and is discouraging me from going back to unlock the true ending but i love this game so much that i will probably do it juuuuust not right away i gotta go wash my bedroom door. also NO BOSS RUSH?!!! or BOSS SELECT!?! god dammit the bosses in this game are so rad i am holding out hope that they add any sort of boss mode in an update
i can hardly call the "worst" parts of this game bad and they're somehow better than a lot of the "best" parts of some of the most critically-acclaimed and well-sold games in the past few years
so yeah i don't have a particularly unique opinion on this game because like every other sane person is saying, the good parts are top-tier and the not-so-good bits are ridiculously outweighed by the great stuff here. this game didn't need a pre-release marketing campaign because the game IS the campaign. so much passion and love has been put into this absolute gem and a sequel to it is now my most anticipated unannounced game only second to pokepark 3 (please)
this amazing game is such a unique experience and an absolute must-fucking-play. go buy it now BUY NOW!!!!
