Oct 16, 2022No More Heroes 3 is made in Suda51's unique style, which can be summed up as a hyperviolent and crude hack-and-slash action game but brimming with originality and artistry, full of pop culture and anime references to mostly non-special franchises. The aesthetic is dissonant, but unique. You're not going to find anything like what No More Heroes 3 offers in any other game, for better or worse. And that's what makes this game, despite the crassness of its B-series style, fascinating and out of the ordinary. The worst thing about the game is its "open world" city, empty and ugly. And the best thing is the aesthetics and style of the bosses and the battles against them. And of course, the evil E.T. story.

Oct 8, 2022No More Heroes 3 is a solid addition to Xbox's growing library of games by Japanese creators. If you've not played a NMH title before, this is worth a look, but you will get more out of it if you start from the original game. As for returning fans, the third outing plays better on Xbox, and while it might not necessarily be the standout chapter for everyone, it’s still a fun send off for Travis Touchdown.

Jan 3, 2023The combat’s solid aside from certain encounters where the lack of defensive tools causes frustration. The variety in boss battles and unique encounters runs the gamut between being thoroughly inspired and soul crushingly insipid, and even the overworld where odd jobs happen is cute in a retro way… while ultimately feeling more pointless and lifeless than it did in the original. In short, No More Heroes 3 often falls short of its true potential, but that’s not to say that it never shines.

Jan 9, 2023As a pretty big and unexpected fan of No More Heroes and its sequel, I had high hopes for No More Heroes III, and looked forward to finally being able to play it. However, the end result was a mediocre-at-best game that I didn’t enjoy all that much and sometimes looked forward to simply finishing. This sequel lacks a lot of the charm of the first two games, but isn’t bad by any means. It’s just decent. Too much of the experience feels like busy work, as opposed to fun content.
