- “Fun, ever-changing gameplay mechanics keep this fresh throughout, and the sense of humor is on point as ever.”
- “It’s not No More Heroes 3, but it’s a surprisingly full-featured and fleshed-out game, featuring some genuinely clever writing and extremely meaty gameplay, as well as a whole lot of variety.”
- “Suda51 (director of said games) has a depth of style that matches some of the more well-known game directors (Kojima comes to mind), but his games tend to be shallow in the gameplay.”
