The face of a woman about to tell you how “Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes” is massively underrated.
I’m absolutely down to hear it because I’ve never played a NMH game.
I absolutely LOVE the No More Heroes games! They’re fun to play, and the plot is deeper than you’re initially led to believe. NMH2 is the weakest of the games, but NMH1, TSA, and NMH3 are some of my favorite games ever.
How often do you get to play a game that is an autobiography of the director’s life in games? A meditation on being creative in an industry that doesn’t always value that. No More Heroes finally crossed into Suda’s “Kill The Past”, and Grasshopper Manufacture faced its own past. And made way for their future and the future of indie devs. Anyway…it’s real neat.
It also just felt like a return to form for Suda’s writing and was just a huge love letter to the kill the past games
Absolutely! I didn’t get to play The Silver Case until after TSA. But now I see that the Death Balls were like action-packed Transistor chapters and the Travis Strikes Back visual novels were like Placebo chapters that add more context. And the writing felt like something we haven’t seen from Suda since…maybe even Killer7? Like, I love NMH’s story, but the Suda51 quirks were put more into the game mechanics and characters than the story in that one…ANYWAY, I just really love Travis Strikes Again!
Yeah totally, No More Heroes 1 is like a top five all time favorite game for me but I'll happily admit Suda has definitely made better games beforehand. NMH just has such a special place in my heart.
Mine, too. It was my first Suda51 game. And it had a major influence on the games and art I sought after playing it.
