Played one level on NG+ to see how the post game is

Finished the main game and rolled credits, will be returning for post-game stuff.

Overall loved this!

Played through Zanzo's defunding - fun! Despite getting As in nearly every combat, I ended up getting a D on the mission due to 7 continues. Despite that I'm still having a blast, despite being punishing at times, I love that it still feels encouraging and empowering when you win, even if you don't get the ideal grade/score. Will definitely be completing this one.

Edit 1: Played another hour 45 - played through getting Corsica on our team - the perry only and QTE end level stuff were both really fun!

Played more to the introduction of Macaron - loving it so far! The combat is super fun and intuitive and I really dig the JoJo references with this upcoming boss

LOVE. Totally won me over immediately - my two favorite games that I've played so far this year have been God Hand and Rhythm Heaven Fever and this feels like a perfect marriage of both games. The combat just feels great and it's not overly punishing (on normal). Playing it on Steam Deck with Xbox Cloud Gaming - I was worried about input lag but I've seen no problems so far. Played through the first area, the first boss set to Nine Inch Nails's 1,000,000 was great. Will be playing much more of this very soon.

Edit 2: Played more of this in the PM - the Cloud Gaming experience went from flawless to laggy mess really quickly. Ended up installing on my PC and playing more there. I'm still loving it but I want to get better with combos, will probably spend some time in the training area getting good this weekend. Overall though this game is great!
