    Today's first bite: Sonokuni. A Hotline Miami-inspired game (they're very open about the inspiration) made by a Japanese indie hip-hop group turned indie game dev team. Deeply trippy fragmented biopunk setting, odd story, and beats that go hard. It's also kicking my ass all over the place on Normal

    Sonokuni is a surreal biopunk Hotline Miami developed (and soundtracked by) by Japanese hip-hop group turned game-dev team Don Yasa Crew. Offbeat game design, very weird setting, and no guns. Instead, you kick people to death, and punt bullets back at enemies. Some Ikaruga-ish boss fights too.

I always find myself coming back to this ultra-violent, melee-based, top-down twin-stick-me-do. Soundtrack is god-tier.

    Ruiner is a cool game because it's sort of like Hotline Miami style but more of a hack-and-slash and it's also an extremely elaborate fetish scene where your nonverbal pretransition self is called a dog by a sketchy computer-touching woman.
