Very fun sandbox style game. It sort of occupies the kind of space in my mind as something like Hyrule Warriors in it's excess-- except it's actually good. Somehow Treasure made a structure-less game with few constraints interesting. The few tools you can choose, have you always approach each level with a different set of emergent tactics. Enemy AI is pretty smart with how it positions itself. Even things like time freezing-- you'd think would break the whole balance of the game, end up having it's own natural drawbacks. Like inadvertently trapping yourself with your bombs, or even in your own hit-stop if you're using the melee weapons. It's also just a very comforting, sincere game to me.
