A perfect game, no notes. But seriously, I'm trying to think of anything I would change about the game and I'm coming up empty. The music and atmosphere is incredible, the R-rated high fantasy cartoon lore is exactly my speed, and the visuals and environment design are on point. And that's all just set dressing for the finely tuned combat loop that is the perfect mix between mindless flow state and split-second decision making. The power you have to manage your own resources and source ammo, health, or armor at any time really makes it feel like you are in control of how effective you are at any given time. The diversity of enemy types helps this and ensures you're always trying to prioritize the biggest threat in a combat space at any given time. When you're in the groove it turns into a first-person character action game, something like Bayonetta. Until the Marauders show up, then it's Sekiro. All I can think about right now is going back and replaying levels where I missed secrets and collectibles and trying to 100% my save file.
