First time I played Killer7 I fell into a routine and just didn't enjoy it as much as I wanted to.
On replay it fully clicked, I love this game. The criticism of american and just overall imperial cultures, the mystery surrounding the Killer7 and each character and relationship between Harmen and Kun Lan.

My only issue with the game this go around was that you can really feel the fact the writing was culled as a lot of the characters really don't get much in terms of character apart from Dan, Mask and of course Garcian.
This is a game that I know I will find more love in as I play it again and again

Killer7 is probably the first major game people knew from Suda pre NMH
Of course it being written by Suda the story is insane, amazing and introspective
But you can tell there were cuts made due to how most of the Killer7 get shafted in terms of character and cutscene
The gameplay was one thing I was a bit worried about but the on rails type shooting works so much better than you'd think it would. With each member bringing something really special to the mix, none feel boring to play as while also being able to fall into personal preference
I really liked most of the smiles but there were a few being a bit too erratic and feeling unavoidable at times.
I will say I feel the game has highs and lows and feeling very easy to just get lost in routine and feel less engaged in the game due to certain circumstances.
Overall I did really enjoy the game even if it never really got over the high of the first two parts until the end
Also fucking hell play on PC don't play on console this game is made for mouse and keyboard holy shit
