Jan 2, 2025Slitterhead has a certain appeal, but also a lot of imperfections. Even so, if you are looking a video game unique with the soul of old survival games, maybe enjoy it.

Nov 4, 2024Slitterhead is a very peculiar game, one that throws a dozen or so different ideas at the wall, and, to the game’s credit, most of them manage to stick over time. With the exception of some occasionally finicky platforming, an inherently chaotic combat system, and near-constant drip feed of tutorials introducing new mechanics as the game progresses, the game is a compelling hodgepodge of ideas that feels like the survival horror equivalent of the multi-perspective gameplay of Watch Dogs: Legion. Its eccentricities may be a turn-off for some players, but on a whole, Slitterhead is an entertaining and experimental experience that only gets better as it goes on.

Nov 4, 2024Besides slitterheads, the biggest enemy was really Bokeh Studios' distrust in you, the player. You're forever told how to go about each challenge because the world isn't malleable enough to entertain your investigative spirit. That's with all the emptiness and the irritants on top, which come together to form a deeply unlikeable game. That's unfortunate, because I do think it has some genuinely impressive ideas and delivers, on occasion, some brief bursts of interesting combat and the occasional nice wander. They're just too few and far between for me to recommend it.
