I can honestly say that watching a giant cosmic being talk about god playing pinball (and how pinball was created by the gods as the perfect game) was new for me. The game is also hilarious, pulling upon Francis' awkwardness for good fish-out-of-water scenarios, but it also uses your expectations to pull out the rug and present you with mundane observations and digs.

It's not challenging, but it is rewarding in a unique way. You don't feel like you're playing guitar, but you feel like you're interacting with the creatures you're paying for, like you're playing specifically for them. While it's still simple to rip into some epic chords while sliding down hills, the game also presents a rhythm mini-game that allows you to jam with the creatures you meet by repeating a series of light prompts, similar to a game of Simon. I'll admit when I first encountered the 'press X to play song' prompt, I was hesitant about how the game would depict the art of playing music. This is why it all makes sense when Francis (or the Glorious Galvatron, as I named him later when you can customize his persona down to his outfit and makeup), slides and leaps over colorful landscapes, or when you launch into an epic electric guitar solo at the push of a button.
