Not a Hero is Not Great - picked it up in an Indie World sale (along with the studio's Olli Olli double pack for Switch) and don't really regret the purchase given it was only £2ish but damn this is an obnoxious game. Not really funny at all, at least quite racist and abrasively violent in the same way that the Kick-Ass films were "comedy" violent but leaves sort of a bad aftertaste. I felt like this was aiming for Hotline Miami-ish ultraviolent score-attack heights but it's nowhere near as fun, snappy or smart as those games are. I played most the game as the British guy with the slide & trip mechanic and even then movement felt a little sluggish.
