Game of the Year, easily.

 

Of course, I don't have any of the next gen consoles, if you exclude the 3DS, so I haven't played Bayonetta 2Sunset Overdrive, or any of those other games people are heaping praise on.

 

But, still, this game is as close to perfect as possible.  I still have to figure out where it fits in my top all time list, but it's easily in the top 20.

The music is also amazing.  Case in point:

I backed the Kickstarter. Hell, Yahtzee, the persistent negative reviewer, gave it a positive review.  That says a lot.

It is quite good.

Big huge waves of throwback gaming abound, and the music is definitely right up the awesome alley.


It is perfectly acceptable to fear and admire a being you could not possibly understand.
