My first Suda51 game - and I feel like this only makes me want to play more. There's a lot about No More Heroes which I already find very fun in concept, from the fact that you're playing as an otaku who simply wants to become the best assassin in the world only for himself to find himself in a never-ending cycle, but I think that this initially stupid-sounding premise opened itself up for great satire which Suda51 makes great use of.

Travis Touchdown is a psychopath who's only focused on being the best, but a part of what makes him such a fun character is the fact that he also seems aware of that - yet also in how much of a self-insert the character is for Suda himself. There's always a desire to escape to what it is that we define as being our own sense of "paradise," which ultimately is reflected by the nature of the part-time jobs that you make Travis take upon (I can understand criticisms that they get repetitive), but the game found itself winning me over when each new mission clearly starts interrogating Travis's goals - because it's obvious enough his desire to be the best is only motivated by Sylvia's presence in his life.

And in addition to that, the combat is just so much fun. I feel like I can play all of those fights over and over again and never get bored.
