not gonna lie I've been on the "ZUN can't make games anymore" train for the past 4 or so releases, but I'm actually pleasantly surprised by this game.
ZUN actually manages to make a good modern 2hu. I don't know if that means he was more sober, or more drunk than usual, but whatever that was, I think it did something.

It really feels like the game is actually designed around it's mechanics, in a similar way that IN and UFO are, which is a very good thing. For most other modern 2hu's the main gimmick felt like it was just thrown on top of the regular game, and could really break it if you knew how to use it properly, but here it feels like that's what you're actually meant to do.

The new music is pretty good, I think I still prefer his older style, but I like the more experimental stuff in the modern games too. That's expected though, I don't think ZUN will ever make a bad song.

The new-hu's this time around aren't that great though, the only characters I really liked design-wise are Nareko and Nina, The rest are either nothing special or just ugly, and Toyohime doesn't count since she's an old design. At first I really disliked the final boss' design, but I think she looks pretty good in fanart.
