What players think
The recurring themes across 179 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
The developer is to be commended for attempting to incorporate such lofty inspiration, and with more of the themes and characters crossing over into the gameplay this could have been an interesting tale, but sadly, what little story there is on offer is largely forgettable and likely to go over a lot of player’s heads.
The characters within TNP are all represented in a pleasant animated style, which effectively apes a western, 80’s representation of Japanese art style.
The soundtrack is also suitably 80’s in its influences, incorporating elements of techno, synthwave and dance into a bass-heavy, adrenaline fuelled sound which perfectly accompanies the art style while never being too obtrusive.
Can't wait to play this with my friends on multiplayer.
A bonus local co-op mode is included and plays a bit differently to the base game.
Theme by theme
Every theme is scored by what reviewers actually said about it, not just whether they recommended the game.
Ranked by how many sampled reviews mention each topic. A topic sits in a column by what reviewers said about that topic; the percentage beside it is how many of them recommended the game anyway. One more theme was raised by fewer than 4 sampled reviews and is not shown.
