Jim Hargreaves of Game Kudos reviews the sequel to the critically acclaimed No More Heroes:
"A vibrant, no-holds hack n' slash title with plenty of character...
If you are looking for a vibrant explosion of mangled limbs, scantily-clad femme fatales and hidden film/game references, No More Heroes 2 may be the perfect title for you. Following the plot may be difficult for anyone who didn't play the first game, but otherwise this title stands as one of the very best in its genre on any platform."
Half-Glass Gaming: "Travis Touchdown is awesome, and he’s a huge reason No More Heroes is so great. That said, series creator and director Suda51 said he would be open to making a spinoff starring fan-favorite Shinobu. And though the series’ fate isn’t entirely up to Suda [as he doesn't own the IP], a sans-Travis entry could definitely work."
NMH seems to revolve around Travis like DMC revolves around Dante, GoW revolves around Kratos, Ninja Gaiden revolves around Ryu, and Bayonetta revolves around well…
It wouldn’t feel right to have these kind of action games to not have their main character in the lead role or not present at all
If PC is your only platform for No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle, don't pass it up; if you have a Wii or a Switch, grab it there.
Following a port to the Nintendo Switch in 2020, SUDA51’s cult hack-and-slash games receive a surprising but welcome PC release.
