I don't know why, but some 2D games can be even more enjoyable than many other games, and this one is definitely among them. The gameplay is incredibly entertaining. I personally played both the first and second games twice, and I can say that they offer hours of fun. Graphically, it has a really interesting and visually appealing art style. As for the story, the first game has an absolutely fantastic storyline. The second one, however, doesn't quite live up to it and has a weaker story, which I'll discuss in my review of that installment. The storytelling is outstanding, engaging, and very well-paced, making it easy to get immersed in the game. Although it can be a little violent at times, it's nothing too extreme.
