I cannot forget the part of the game that makes you walk that whole distance over and over until you get the chance to steal a random guy's bike to skip the walk. Really perfect job lining up the player and the player character's motivations. It's like Sumio Mondo was literally me when he assaulted that cyclist.
I started my Suda51 journey why No More Heroes 1 and 2 on Wii, than I played Killer7, Travis Strikes Again and Killer is Dead. I still haven't touch Flower, Sun and Rain, but by just seeing this video I can see where a lot of things from his games come from
Honestly I sinned and played FSR first, you wouldn't be missing much aside from a few offhand connections. FSR is still my favorite game of all time. Speaks to my soul in a way little else can.
