Absolutely perfect game. Everything in it just hits so right.

-The Gameplay
-The Art
-The Music
-The Setting
-The Characters

Going to be a hell of a fight for any other game to try and top this for GOTY 2023.

Played through this entirely with a controller and have a few tips if you're struggling-
-Rebind the inputs: Super Jump and Body Slam start off unbound, binding these to LT and LB helped a ton.
-Reconfigure deadzones: Turn down the General Deadzone as well as lowering the vertical deadzone to below the horizontal will help a lot with entering doors and diving which are crucial for going fast. It'll also help to turn up Superjump Walk substantially so you can pinpoint your superjump direction.

11/22 Edit: Still my top pick for GOTY
