The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
despite being a huge fan of NMH ever since the first game's original release, i was extremely stupid and skipped this entry because it was "different." even after giving it a chance on switch before NMH3s release, i still had trouble enjoying it and stopped soon after the third death ball, and as a result i didnt understand much of what was going on in 3. but after retrying it now, i can say please dont be stupid and not play this game because its "different" from normal. the music, the story, the characters, and the real meaning behind TSA is amazing and it all works together to make an extremely fun game. i was initially very put off by the $40 price tag on the game as well, even though its cheaper than the switch version + dlc, but that 40 dollars is very worth its investment.
Cool music, sound design and voice acting that makes the game so unique
Co-op features with special combos and ultimate moves.
Oh, and it helps that this port is AWESOME, uncapped FPS, plenty of graphics options, and it's already well-optimized for being a competently-made UE4 game, unlike the...janky ports for No More Heroes 1 & 2....let's really hope that since this game and No More Heroes 3 were made in the exact same engine that 3's port will be just as solid as this game's is.
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. 2 more themes were each raised by fewer than 6 sampled reviews and are not shown.
