No More Heroes is one of the best action games I've ever played. Featuring Incredible over-the-top flashy violent action with fast paced and addictive combat, so much wacky creative charm in every single part of the game from the eccentric characters you find in the open-world and the dialogue to all the mini-game odd-jobs you do to make cash (From mowing lawns to picking up trash on the highway and more) and of course the boss fights as well which were all memorable and unique in their own ways thanks to their eccentric, over-the-top personalities and different fight-styles.

The story is ridiculous and over-the-top in the best way possible as we follow Travis Touchdown, a loveable edgy loser otaku (One of the most 'literally me' characters in all of video games) on his journey to become the #1 assassin all for the honorable goal of scoring with his handler the beautiful Sylvia Christel and as we witness Travis slowly climb the ranks of the assassin leaderboard more crazy twists and turns unfold full of hilariously clever satire on anime/video game tropes and otaku culture in general and tons of pop culture references too.

I never had the privilege of playing this gem of a game back when it first came out, but I can totally see why it got as much praise as it did. The gameplay loop is addictive and cathartic, the combat is fast-paced, fluid and fun, the characters despite having such little depth are instantly iconic thanks to how quirky they are and their fantastic voice acting, the dialogue is hilarious and memorable and there is just so much charm in everything the game has to offer that even 15 years later makes No More Heroes a timeless classic that every action game fan deserves to experience.
