The most soulful, feel-good game I've played in years. You've all probably heard tons of stuff about how great the gameplay is, the music, and the art style, but not so much about the cast. The game does such a great job making you care for the cast and presenting their bonds growing as you play. Track 11 is the perfect example of this. Seeing the gang all support each other and guiding each other throughout the level with The Joy Formidable's Whirring blasting in the background moved me to tears, showing me how undefeatable combo of the power of friendship and good music are. After considering everything I've played this year this has to be my GOTY, with everything I mentioned including the bit of emptiness I felt after beating it.
