Slitterhead drops in 3 weeks, where is the hype?

It somewhat reminds me of Prototype with the possession mechanic and bio organic weapons. I'll check it out when it hits a huge discount.

Yeah, I'm definitely interested, but I'm going to wait for a price drop. I feel like I will really enjoy this all things considered, just unsure at full price.

Did my first chase sequence. Gotta admit, its pretty fun. Really like the rarity conversations with the weird unsettling face close ups. Yamaoka trip hop theme in the menu is even weirder than usual for him. Its definitely a bit jank but I'm enjoying it for what it is. The parries in combat are enjoyable.

Its basically The Thing x Anime.

After the tutorial initial mission the game feels better.

I like what I’ve played so far but I’m curious how long it’ll hold my attention.

The concept for the game is cool as fuck. The execution has some issues. The whole thing is screaming for more stealth. Entering buildings at multiple levels through the possession mechanic, killing then body jumping would have been amazing with a stealth focus.

Boss fight 2 was pretty fun. I think a little steeper challenge helps you interact with more of the gameplay systems. You have to land your parries, teleport to pawns to provoke and get hate, then warp to a rarity to hit them hard in the back, heal and raise dying pawns or pick up severed limbs. None of it feels fantastic but the ambition and ideas here hint at what could have been.

Possession isn’t as bad as I thought it would be. The camera has been wild at times, sometimes facing the opposite way when I want to start beating on a boss. Had my arm chopped off too. Maybe that was a tutorial. It felt like the tutorials took a while to get through.

Does this game get any better? I'm not a fan of the souls-like combat. I'm at the alley boss and so far the gameplay has been dreadful and repetitive. I though this was going to be a PS2-like survival horror like Siren or Silent Hill.
