No More Heroes is my first Suda 51 game, and it was good ride to go through. I loved the satire throughout the plot not to mention how the ranked assassins build Travis's character. It may seem like a regular hack and slash game, but it is so much fun going through stages, combo-ing, and killing grunts. Not to mention the boss fights in this are solid and definitely make up the chunk and highlights of the gameplay/story. However, the benefits end there as going back to the overworld you're forced to play minigames and challenges with (sometimes) janky controls and annoying difficulty with time limit. Another half of your time will be spent in the barren overworld that only exists for the collectables, missions, and upgrades; I hated this overworld but loved it because it made me see the world building of Santa Destroy. Definitely give this game a try--it's very fun--but be warned about the filler in between bosses if you're not a fan of forced grinding.
