Kirby as directed by Tetsuya Nomura. The final boss hurls literal ass buildings at you while trying to fuse two worlds together, then you swallow a big rig and race across more collapsed buildings floating in the ruins of the cosmos to engage in a DBZ-style Kamehameha face-off against a straight-up Toriyama-looking alien.

It's delightfully refreshing at first, but by the midgame, you'll have seen just about everything it has to offer; by the end, it felt repetitive and I was ready for this to be done -- nevermind the postgame. But the scope and creativity made this a delightful change of pace from my typical trend of inhaling JRPGs.

It also deserves recognition for being both cozy and apocalyptic -- the European power metal to Nier Automata's DSBM.
