An amazing action game designed around dying and trying again... again... and again.

The premise is very Kill Bill. A group of people murder your master and you go picking them off your kill list one by one.

Story isn't important here. It's the gameplay.

It's addicting in the same way a FromSoft game is. You get your ass beat over and over again until you become a master at the game. You understand every enemies move set. You become Ultra Instinct Neckbeard playing this.

The game like from soft games can be beaten in record time once you understand everything, but understanding everything is the challenge.

The platinum trophy requires you to beat the game by Age 25. Essentially meaning you can only be knocked down twice through out the entire game. This seemed IMPOSSIBLE when I started but by the end of my 20 hours with this game, I went and popped in the PS4 version to do it all again. The second time took me 4 hours to do everything. Overcoming insurmountable obstacles like that are the beauty of games like this and Sekiro. It gives you a sense of pride and accomplishment well afterwards too.

My GOTY so far. Will likely stay that way by years end. If not I'll make sure to edit this passage out.
