Description

Travis Touchdown here. It's been three years since I clawed my way to #1 in the United Assassins Association. I thought it'd be fine to take it easy for a while after that, but it looks like I rested on my laurels a little too long. I found myself sliding down the ranks all the way to #51, and to make things worse, some other assassin—Skelter Helter—comes out and starts nagging my head off about me killing his brother or something. So yeah, a real pain in the you-know-what.

Fueled by a thirst for vengeance (and a bit of good old-fashioned greed), I whipped out my beam katana once more and plunged headfirst into one helluva desperate struggle.

Certainly a sequel of all time. Though before NMH 3 came out, I hated this game. But when NMH 3 turned out to be a big disappointment for me (from technical, gameplay, and story standpoints), I started thinking that I

It's a good game but it's definitely not worth the regular 20 dollars it asks for, buy it for 10 dollars on sale. It removes all of the grindy open world parts from the first game which is great, you just select what

TLDR: No More Heroes 2 made me appreciate No More Heroes 1 for what it is. No More Heroes 2 is an improvement on the first game but it is more like 1 step forward 2 steps backward. For this review I actually didn't

A straight up improvement of the first game in most ways, I think. Combat is snappier, makes more sense and is more intuitive. there are mini games still, but they are not as obligatory as in the first game, and I think

After finishing this, my feelings are incredibly complicated. I think the combat FEELS good, and I prefer the changes here to the way combat operated in NMH1. But bosses are either super easy or kinda annoying, you
