    Ray’s the Dead is a mixed bag, but it’s a unique one with a lot of heart. Just be aware going in that it’s going to take effort to like the game as much as you wish you could.

    Ray's The Dead is something of a mixed bag. When its charm is able to shine through it's a joy to play, but all too often it feels clumsy. After such a long wait it may disappoint those who have been keeping an eye on it since 2014, which is a shame given there's a gem to be found among the rotten flesh.

    There are parts of Ray's The Dead that are enjoyable. The idea of being a Pikmin-like zombie game is appealing, as is the game's desire to tell a more nuanced story around your character's life, death, and rebirth. However, the controls lack precision, and the inherent strategy falls apart due to haphazard enemy placement and odd design decisions. For a title with this long of a wait, it should've been better.
