** After many years of complimenting Creator/Suda51 with only off-hand mentions of his landmark title, ''VideoGame/Killer7'', "An Explanation of 'Post-Punk' Games" presents the opportunity for Yahtzee to discuss why -- in spite of defying all logic as a critic -- he feels that it's Suda's best work.
--->'''Yahtzee:''' ''[=Killer7=]'' is [[QuirkyWork the kind of thing a very ignorant person would call "so random, lol."]] It's a mad kaleidoscope of ideas, character moments, visual chaos and gameplay that [[GenreRoulette switches between pseudo-rail shooter gameplay and weird puzzles where you have to shoot a dude's tie to make his brain pop out or something]], but it's not ''random''. There's recurring themes and motifs, a connecting plot told in rigid chapters, even if [[ArtShift the art style for the cutscenes inexplicably changes from one to the next]]. [[MindScrew I still don't really get what the story's]] ''[[MindScrew about]]'', and I have both played it a million times and read the companion literature that supposedly explains it. And yet, the story clearly makes sense to someone, and it still affects me, emotionally. Why do I feel [[TearJerker genuinely sad]] when the [=Killer7=] are systematically wiped out in the near end game boss fight? Is it because we're finally losing one of the few consistent things we've been on this wild odyssey with, and now we'll never again enjoy the sight of Mask de Smith [[{{Bathos}} headbutting a bullet out of the air?]]

* SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments: At the end of "The Games of 2023 I Didn't Review", the shiny dog grabs a signboard and puts it on the ground, then goes to get the black marker and use it to write "Rub Tummy" on the sign, before lying on its back hoping for someone to give it a tummy rub. So adorable.
