I wasn't expecting Sekiro: Furries Die Twice to be one of my favorite games of 2024 so far. There's enough room on the throne for two kings and it's sitting right up there with Hollow Knight. Don't sleep on this game.

Absolutely brilliant game from start to finish. God tier soundtrack, god tier characters, god tier writing, just the works really. As a person that has played every single game in the series before this, I'm surprised to say this is easily and arguably the best game in the entire franchise. Yes, even better than the juggernauts like AA1, T&T and AAI2, but that's a discussion for another time!

Seriously though, there is not a single wasted moment, character, or set-piece in this gut-wrenching and amazingly written story. The music, the back and forth sequences between Naruhodo and Barok, the development of its incredibly varied and goated cast (shoutouts to the boy Herlock Shlomes)—everything just screams out peak AA. TGAA's writing was very cohesive the entire way through and there was no point where any of it felt like filler, which is something that the PW/AJ trilogies traditionally struggled with. The only thing is the story can feel like a bit of a slow burn. Things take a while to get going with the first two cases, but boy once the momentum starts around third case you're in for a wild ride that will not stop until you reach the very end.

I rarely write reviews for even most games that I like, but this one left such a mark on me that I'm unable to not gush about it. If you're a fan of the series this game is a must, and you are right doing yourself a disservice to gloss over this entry. Even if you've never played Ace Attorney before, this could serve as an introduction to the series and what it's truly capable of giving you. It'll be a long wait before we see another Ace Attorney game in the near future I'm sure, but presently I'm quite content with where this series is at right now and I have faith that the next entry will be just as good, if not better than TGAA. I really love this series a lot and I'll be eagerly waiting for the next set of adventures. Well done, Capcom.

This game is damn near flawless. It's criminal how low this game's price-tag is considering how much content there is to consume. The exploration is engaging, the boss fights are incredibly well-designed, the soundtrack is memorable, and the difficulty curve is quite challenging without forgetting to be fun. Hollow Knight is a masterful game all-around and it's a must-play for any Metroidvania enthusiast full stop.
