March 2026
It's not a survival horror, it's a high octane action game. With horror themes. The bulk of the combat consists of boss fights where the player is locked in a narrow arena against a tough and dangerous enemy. Most of the bosses are essentially the same monster. Devs alter its design, add special abilities, sometimes put two bosses in the arena at once - they squeeze out the potential as best they can, but you shouldn't expect the variety of bosses from a Soulslike or a Monster Hunter entry. The game can be completed on Hard in 15–20 hours and, whatever I said earlier, it never loses its momentum. The boss fights are interspersed with sombre walks through the city, skirmishes with weaker monsters, episodes of tracking down monsters in a crowd, dizzying chase sequences (the player is the pursuer), and even more one-off vignettes like primitive stealth missions. Unfortunately, the magnificent boldness of game design found in the Siren games is not quite present here. In almost every boss encounter there are one or two main characters and a whole group of ordinary people, between whom you switch as often as you like. Only the player controlled character attacks the boss at any given time. It's not co-op fights but rather a solo fight where the player uses terrified people huddling in corners as expendable meat shields. And yeah, regular people don't have to survive these fights. Each character has their own weapon and a set of special abilities. Regular people inherit the special abilities from the two heroes you choose to play the mission with. Regular townfolk have been given nearly a hundred different designs, so it's unlikely to see two identical people on screen. However, the citizens look simple and stylized and, truth be told, they don't feel like real people. It kinda creates a feeling of loneliness in a crowded city. Hong Kong director Wong Kar-wai builds the same atmosphere in his movies - developers are fans of his clearly, the game has a bunch of references to them. Slitterhead doesn't look like mind-blowing next-gen, but it's a beautiful game that will age well. Under the hood it's Unreal Engine 5, and it's the most optimized game on this engine I've seen. The monster designs were made by artist Miki Takahashi who worked on the Siren games and 3D sculptor Keisuke Yoneyama. The designs look amazing in stills and jaw-dropping when animated. And Akira Yamaoka is as good as ever. The game has plenty of bloody scenes, dismemberment, mass killings, and some sexual innuendo. But because of stylized visuals all this brutality rarely comes across as terrifying. Mesmerizing, but not terrifying. There are a couple of truly chilling moments nonetheless. The game's biggest failure is the lack of voice acting. In all the cutscenes, the player reads the lines in subtitles while the characters just grunt and make interjections. It's hard to say what the hell developers were thinking here. But this is the only thing that mars the impression of this vibrant, original, beautiful, and genuinely fun game.

this would've been a cult classic on ps3, and i fear it's been overlooked. everything about it is quirky and unexpected. there are moments where the combat can feel clunky, but the inventiveness and variety counterbalance those brief frustrations. and it's set in 80's hong kong!

Future cult classic. But here I am, hoping for a sequel and knowing it barely has any chance to happen. Feels like a passion project through and through, a lot of love went into crafting this game. Hard recommend if you're into PS2-era horror and action gaming.

Audiovisually this is a treat. Presentation slick as hell. Looks great, sounds great altho it isnt fully voice acted. Gameplaywise its some ok 3rd person combat with a tiny bit of exploring. The gimmick is that youre a bodyhopping ghost which can and has to be used to get places you otherwise couldnt - dudes on a roof or behind a fence, stuff like that. In combat its used to hop between your main guys and the hapless civilians which are almost always around - useful for distraction, getting away or getting a few surprise hits in. Can get pretty strategical, fun stuff. Unfortunately the last parts of the game are abit of a bore. The game reuses levels which is fine most of the time because it makes sense storywise and it also does some different things within them. However theres one kinda nondescript main street with a marketplace and some rooftops and it gets reused alot for kinda samey chase sequences and battles and it gets very old. Secondly overall the game is pretty easy (on normal at least) but in the last few levels it tries to be more challenging but its mostly just annoying. Constant knockbacks, some kinda overly homing attacks, poison/slow auras - just kinda cheap, not terribly fun stuff. Might just be me tho. Despite this i really had a blast, this is a pretty cool unique game. Just a shame that it got torpedoed so hard on launch by bein saddled with invasive rootkit garbage Denuvo. Now that thats gone i definitely recommend it, especially on sale for a few bucks off
