No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle
The fact that they released an old game in this state is absolutely ridiculous and inexcusable.
-
Partial controller support for a game that doesn’t support kb+m despite the fact that it could work (you need workarounds in order to play with Dualshock 4 for gods sake).
-
Constant crashing during load screens. You know that lovely feeling of doing side stuff for hours only to have the game crash on you and removing all your progress because autosave isn’t a thing? Outstanding.
-
No options whatsoever. Wow look, you can toggle fullscreen on or off, so advanced.

SPOILERS AHEAD! PLAY THE GAME FIRST THEN READ MY REVIEW!
Aaaaand that’s the next game all done! What an experience this game was. Let’s begin with the review:
Soooo…once again, I’m glad I gave these games a chance and I’m glad that I bought both of these instead of just one, definitely got a more fuller experience with them. So, where do I stand on this game?
Story/Narrative
While I don’t think this game is narratively better than the first game, The assassins in this game don’t feel like real people at times and more or less just feel like ‘oh, just another bad guy for Travis to fight to get to the top, I guess.’ It’s kind of jarring going from a game that had characters with some levels of depth to them and you could almost feel their struggles up until they died to a sequel where only a few of the assassins actually feel like they’re properly fleshed, and one of those few is just a character from the first game brought back from the dead that Travis himself doesn’t even get to face, with that character being ‘New Destroyman’, instead Shinobu fights him (or rather them since there’s two now and it’s kind of an annoying fight, ngl.) The story is….worse than the first game and while it has it’s good moments in it as well like Henry fighting an anime mecha girl, Shinobu making her moves on Travis which is uhhh…kind of funny and kind of weird at the same time considering the fans who probably DID ship them got slapped in the face and those who didn’t were probably just thinking ‘Yeah, that seems about right’, and Travis and Sylvia having more banter (which was some of my favorite moments in the first game and this one since we got to see the two interact more here and form a sort of…screwed up bond), overall, the story is just…okay, not as good as the first game’s but not god-awful either…Jasper is a really crappy character, though, ngl, he’s comic-book as heck and he really only just made Travis get out of retirement because of him killing Greg/Bishop…who barely mattered before in the games asides from him fetching your bike on NMH1 and running the shop in both games. It’s just kind of sad we didn’t get a better story considering how amazingly improved everything else was.

No More Heroes
Welcome to the Garden of Madness, Sudabros…
tldr; the game is great, but the port is not
–——————
The non-technical part of this port is still good, even after 14 years, the game has it’s charm. The heart and soul of the game is still here (except “Heavenly Star” is absent, but you can mod it back in), but the technical side of this port - OH THE TECHNICAL SIDE..
As you could see, most of the reviews here talk about the lack of controller support (KB+M is not an option;
! and why would you even want to play it on KB+M? ) - the game only supports XBOX360 controller, BUT DS4Windows works just fine for me.

Yes. But not yet.
the game works really well, but there’s some bugs that need fixing.
Here’s some stuff nobody else is saying:
-
A bunch of achievements are broken, specifically those that have progression tracking. The counting doesn’t work properly. Those who have the achievement “Dial M for Massacre” are using SAM… for shame guys.
-
There’s some particular segments in the game where you need to hit a target at the right time but the timing is extremely finicky if not completely broken. Luckily they are all optional, but some are tied to a certain achievement. It’s not impossible per se, but I sure avoided them like the plague.

Fisti-Fluffs
I saw the trailer for this game about a year ago and waited patiently as the release date passed, worried that it had been canceled. Imagine my surprise when out of nowhere the game officially released on my birthday. As a cat lover I knew this was fate that I had to buy it, lol.
Fistifluffs is a fun, casual, family-friendly brawler that’s something of a cross between Gang Beasts and Smash Bros. You take control of one of a number of cats, which you can customize with various outfits, items, colors and more, and take on three other cats in a few different battle modes to determine who is “best cat”. The game is meant to be fun, cute and wacky as cats go sailing thirty feet across the room with every jump and flop around “tussling” with combinations of scratches and headbutts. The graphics are perfect for a game of this nature, setting the cartoonish tone, and the music is great (and can be selected between “cute” and “metal” depending on what kind of feel you want for your battles). Audio in general is great as there are lots of fun cat noises, hisses, growls, and the occasional purr or nomnom as your kitty chomps down a scrumptious snack of fish to regain some energy.

I can see the point of all those bad reviews that has spread around the internet. The game costs too much. Lacks of contents. Netcode isn’t the greatest. No voice acting.
But let’s see the positive side of this things:
Working on a videogame it’s not an easy task. Working on a game and supporting it with costant and huge updates is much much more then I ever wanted in Super Smash bros. Ultimate, which I play it as a competitive player. At least since before NASB launch. And for smash you all fucking payed it for a limited edition + 2 DLC pack. For sure. Most of you. It’s something like 130 euros. And you can’t even dash without lagging for half a second.

Armed to the whiskers and equipped with the latest dashing sneaker technology, he must run, jump, dash, climb, shoot and fight his way through hordes of anthropomorphic dog soldiers.

Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin
Came here as a gamer… left as a professional rice farmer degree
The realistic, in depth elements of rice farming combined with honing fighting skills plus surprising character revelations and development make Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin a magnificent game. Beside its beautiful story‚ Sakuna’s personal growth is a pleasure to watch. Her reason for living is tested to the limit. The balanced emphasis on farming and fighting provides a great variety of tasks to undertake, providing dozens of hours of fun.

I’ll leave a TLDR at the bottom.
I was hesitant yet curious coming into Sakuna. A game that’s half side-scroller beat’m up, and half in-depth rice farming is something unique and interesting to me.
We are introduced to Sakuna, a daughter of harvest goddesss Toyohana and war god Takeribi. Sakuna is a goddess who resides in the capital indulging herself on all sorts of expensive luxuries until one day she meets a certain group of humans and gets involved in an unfortunate event that has her and the group exiled to an isle of demons called Hinoe. It is on this isle that Sakuna will grow rice, hunt demons, and come to learn more about the humans that were exiled along with her.

Explottens
If you like HEAVY METAL and CATS, this game is for you!
I was obsessed with Luftrausers when it first came out because it was a throw back to 90s games like Wings of Fury that I used to play on the Amiga 500. Explottens is awesome because it also ramps up in the intensity and style of Metal Slug but doesn’t forget its sense of humour! Unlike the afore-mentioned games though, there is a narrative with plenty of word play (one boss is a psycotic kitty from Russia called ‘Vladimir Cutin’). It certainly doesn’t take itself seriously and why would you? THE AIRCRAFT ARE BEING OPERATED BY KITTENS!
