Suda51 no deberia haber hecho videojuegos

This game is okay, but damn is this port BAD. I cannot believe that the game, after the few years it's been out, has only been patched a handful of times, and STILL has it's major issues that plagued it at launch. If you've read previous reviews, then you probably already know, but to summarise, I'll list the few major ones here.
Frame drops, limited graphical settings, constant crashing, broken achievements, low quality cutscenes, settings not saving after quitting to the TITLE SCREEN, shops displaying items you've already bought, only for you to buy them again and realise it's not an upgrade, it's just a bug, and you've wasted 20 minutes money grinding, and over a mill of your money on literally NOTHING, and no proper controller support nor keyboard and mouse support. Don't get me wrong, this game isn't perfect, even without these issues, but I had more frustrations with the issues listed that I did the actual GAME part of the game.

This game is a step-up from the previous, but then it takes another 3 steps back. It's got better character animations, more exciting combat, and the story has a bigger focus.. But they drop the ball so hard in most other areas. I personally find the combat in this game more enjoyable than the first, but I'm not going to say it's better. It feels way more button mashy compared to the previous, with faster attacks, but much slower enemies, making it easier to just button mash past an entire mob of enemies without much thought. The story, although much grander, and even a little more chaotic and fun, is unfortunately shallow, with not many twist and turns as before. Although it can be more funny, it's a little more in your face than the previous game, with even MORE fan service to boot as well, especially with a returning character, which not gonna lie, made me a little uncomfortable. I also found a lot of the assassin fights more forgettable, with only a handful that I remember being just marginally better, or far worse than previous bosses in the series.

The other side of the game, being the mini games, was fun and also infuriating. Some of the games are super fun, like the first 2, while some, make me feel like they were intentionally designed to be extremely frustrating, like the Coconut and Trash mini games. My God the coconut mini game, I've played old school NES and SNES platformers more forgiving than this one mini game. Grinding money WAS frustrating, although you won't have to do it much, unless you plan on fully upgrading your stats and buying some clothes to customise Travis, if so, I recommend playing the "Tile in Style" mini game, as it's easy to do, and you'll get 10K per completion if you can do it within 30 or so seconds. If you find that too difficult, you can give the "Getting Trash" mini game I mentioned earlier a go, although it is frustrating to start, you'll probably eventually get used to the controls and timing, earning over 50K if you can do it without losing a single life and with a minute or so left of time.

It's a shame, because I went in blind with this series, not expecting it to blow me away, but for it to be really fun and somewhat engaging, but this sequel has soured my hopes of my playthroughs for the next games. I really enjoyed the first No More Heroes, it was so unique, and simple on the surface, but had a little bit of depth and nuance if you dipped your toes in further. But this sequel just turned it up to 11 and took away half the things I enjoyed about the first, it feels like it's more "Style over substance" if you will. More characters and fights, more flashy moves, more humour, more sex appeal.... But less of that uniqueness that pulled me into the first. Most of the other reviews and opinions online suggest to play this game using other means, so I'd recommend buying this game to support the devs, then play it somewhere else.
PS. The Switch version is NO better than the PC version. You know what to do then...?
