No More Heroes 3 is an exciting revival of a franchise most people didn't expect to return. Unfortunately, at release this was a switch exclusive with bad performance. Now a year later a dedicated PS5 release is out with great performance and the way it should be experienced for the first time.

Wacky, obnoxious, and over the top. Characteristics of Suda 51 and this game has it in droves. The charm of this game is exquisite. Travis is just as obnoxious and over the top as usual. The story is just as ridiculous as it's been in the past. Nothing groundbreaking for the franchise... just over the top nonsense.

The gameplay feels tighter than the previous entries, as it should coming about a decade later. Unfortunately the mission design is weaker. In previous games when you entered a ranking battle, there would be a level surrounding the boss fight. Here all the fights are done in the open world to grind cash and once you pay for the ranking battle... it's a boss fight. I would have preferred a style more like the first two games, but luckily the boss fights are evocative enough to make you wanna get to the next one.

The game leaves itself on a cliffhanger like the previous entires and hopefully they keep making them... cause I'll keep buying.
