Tin Salamunic: Goichi Suda is to the gaming industry what Takashi Miike is to Japanese cinema, a visionary, a lunatic, a genius, a schizoid, and a legend. Whatever you want to call him, his games have an unparalleled magnetism and aesthetic charm despite being absurd and oftentimes tasteless. His work may not always be comprehensible, but he manages to walk a fine line between artistry and obnoxiousness. Killer is Dead is tricky because it dangerously tilts towards the latter. Suda always had a knack for composing disjointed narratives, but they worked because good humor, strong characters, and solid gameplay cemented the anarchic bits. Unfortunately, Killer is Dead crosses that delicate line and inches closer to intolerance and bad taste. I love Killer is Deadand I hate it. I havent felt so divided about a game since SWERYs Deadly Premonition. At least Deadly Premonition had a consistent, albeit bizarre, tone. Killer is Dead juggles between remarkable highs and devastating lows....
