After years of wanting it. Knowing what it was. My friend just gave me his copy for free. This game is expensive as hell. I was flabbergasted. Finally playing it and OH MY GOD! This game and forgive the pun. GODLY! You can draw comparisons to Fist of the North Star but this is a far goofier game than that series which does take itself seriously despite how absurd it is. God Hand had a colorful cast of demon villains who are as 2000s anime as can be. You fight knockoff power rangers in one level. A man dressed in a panda outfit. a Demon Elvis. A questionable portrayal of gay body builder demons and more. Even putting the tone aside. The gameplay is amazing. It's a 3D brawler/beat em up but you fully custom your moves. The game is pretty hard and the trickiest part s choosing the right moves for a mission. But when you get into the rhythm it's so satisfying. Not joking when I say this game has challenge. While it is a trend to see Souls fans on YouTube struggle with Ninja Gaiden's difficulty. Let's see them try this game or Otogi which honestly makes NG look like kids mode. God Had does have an Easy mode but it's really normal and normal is hard mode. Good news tho if you don't want to spend hundreds. While they are still up and still have a PS3? You can grab it for 10 bucks on PSN.
I will not count Remasters/Remakes released in 2025 as I already put those with my actual 2025 GoTY list thread.
Bite my shiny metal cockpit!
