Definitely a GOTY contender, I have a hard time completing single player games no matter how good they may be, but this has been an exception, it's been a blast, and I'm going on multiple playthroughs of it as I enjoy it that much. You get to cut through robots to the rhythm of the beat, the bosses are loads of fun to take on, there's also a decent chunk of post game content for replayability even if you're not trying to 100% the game. The humor is great, the gameplay is awesome, the story is solid and got me attached to the characters. I cannot recommend this title enough, I'd have paid double for an experience as enjoyable as this, honestly haven't enjoyed a game and been this invested into one for a very long time. My only complaint is there isn't a full soundtrack for purchase as .flac files or equivalent high fidelity audio to jam out to the music when I'm not playing. I'd recommend this game to anyone who wants satisfying, rhythm based combat, beating the game once is one thing, beating the game with an S rank on harder difficulties is a whole new challenge that'll keep you invested in improving your timing, rather than mashing through like any old hack n slash.
If you're still not sure about it after reading the reviews, Steam allows refunds so long as you've put less than 2 hours of gameplay in. But I promise you, that refund will never happen and you won't regret it.

If you enjoy roguelike dungeon crawlers, this is definitely something you'll want to look into. You shoot, dodge and reload, all to the rhythm of the beat. By far my favourite rhythm game and likely also my favourite roguelike I've played. The soundtrack is phenominal, purchased it and the FLACs you get bring a whole new life to the songs you'll be accustomed to.
Once you get into it, don't get discouraged off the bat, takes a few hours to get yourself sync'd up to reacting on beat.

A few tips for beginners:
Just start off getting used to firing on beat, you can fire on the half beat with many weapons but when you first begin just worry about the main beats

Getting used to the music is as important to getting used to the enemies, starting a new floor with a new song can throw you off a bit, take it as a learning experience

Standing still will often end in death, keep yourself moving and once you get a feel for each enemy dodging them feels natural.

Last but not least: best not to be in a voice chat with friends. Not the end of the world but the more you focus on the music the better you'll be. I can barely hit a beat if I'm talking but to each their own.

This is one of my absolute favourite games, I've never found another rhythm game where I'll sink so many hours into it, listening to the songs time and time again as I play, then log off and blast the soundtrack on my way to work. Truly a gem in my eyes.
