No Straight Roads: Encore Edition

If you want to play for the story and world, this game is probably a good choice. If you want to play for the rhythm/gameplay aspect, don't. It's one of the worst gameplay experiences I've had in a long time.

I'm not really that far in, but the one thing I will say is they managed to nail everything except gameplay, which is really [i] really [/i] strange. I like the setting, I like the two MC's, the jokes so far have been kind of funny, the artstyle is awesome (It's like Psychonauts meets De Blob), the city is cool, but the gameplay man... The gameplay... It's like it was made by people who've never played a game. The rhythm element barely exists, and the boss fights I've done so far are just strangely tedious and— In a word— unresponsive. Things just kinda happen, and it doesn't feel like you caused anything. The first boss fight with DJ Subatomic has a great ost and cool visual ideas, but you're just gathering particles and waiting to shoot. It's so lame, I really don't understand who came up with this. There are SO many games with boss fights to just straight up copy from if you're not sure what to do. And the Sayu "boss fight", just... no... Yeah, I really hope they address gameplay issues in NSR2 because whereas I wish I could like this game, I cant because of the "game" part of the game. A real shame.

While the music and art were utterly gorgeous the combat mechanics are lacking and I really only enjoyed the first boss, most bosses follow a avoid damage for large stretch then deal damage for a short window mentality that gets draining not to mention the lead up to the bosses is always tedious. The fact that you aren't playing on rhythm really throws me off for what's supposed to be a rhythm game.

This game has its issues but the fun parts are really fun. Also, the entire soundtrack is a banger

Genuinely one of my favorite games i got into with no knowledge prior to playing, extremely charming and has amazing characters and music! cant wait for NSR 2 ! <3

This game is a work of art: an unpolished, janky, and slightly buggy experience that overcomes its flaws with a comedic story and one of the best soundtracks to ever exist. A must buy when on sale.

really fun rhythm game, it would be also a perfect for coop game as well but the camera angle is terrible since they intend on mind for single player only so the camera drag is really annoying but if you can deal with it then the game is perfectly good for co-op some of my biggest issue is that unlockable and fully upgrade required you to be straight A on all the boss or even S, some boss has questionable parry mechanic that either you needed to hit after the shot went through the hitbox, this game will be more better is it benefit from NG+ that you can fully explore which is too bad you can only doing it on final boss. The artstyle is gorgeous and the OST is straight banger although some have difficult beat for dodging.

this game oozes personality. the bosses are pretty cool and the ost is crazy good. dj subatomic supernova is my goat.

One of my all time favorites, is it the best Action Rhythm game out there, no but it is still really good in my book. Art Style, Combat, Music, are all top tier in my book. Story is simple but good and characters are likable for me it is all about the action rhythm aspect.

[b]lessons that i learned from this game:[/b] [list] [*]your the most chill bro have the craziest connections (mostly the bad ones) [*]don't treat your #1 fan poorly or he will be the twist villian [*]do not date the DIY girl. [*]NCR have a good goal but shitty executi... wait, wrong game [*]collaboration is cool [/list] but seriously, this game is underappreciated

The gameplay feels lackluster, they advertised it as like rhytm game but this feels like some generic hack and slash The artstyle in this game is good tho gotta give one on that, each of the characters is also very charming other than the piano girl i dont really like her The music here is bangers The story is very linear its just saving the city from muh edm music le bad rock music good and spoiler: current leader of le bad edm goverment was the best rock music player and they hug and live happily ever after together 4.5/10 gameplay 8/10 artstyle 9/10 music 6/10 story I want to recommend this but honestly it feels to boring

조작감은 구리고 게임성도 그럭저럭 근데 노래 퀄리티가 미친 수준이라 한번씩은 해봐도 좋음

A bit short, but games of this length never stick with me this much. Excellent music and funny cutscenes. Also try Hi-Fi RUSH!

Super fun characters, environment and the music is a bop all the way. Wish gameplay was more tuned to the rhythm. can feel like you're playing against the music most times, but the level and boss design and everything makes up for it imo,

do you think eve would be down to freak it in both dimensions at once

It's alright. hifi rush better tho

wait. this isn't guitar hero

ONLY BANGERS: THE GAME!

I'm so happy this game is getting a sequel.
