Killer Is Dead has got to be my second favourite Suda game. The writing and cutscene direction is off the roof with this one. It has this whole vibe to it that hits me just right. Mondo is extremely fucking cool (and he's voiced by JP from Redline, hard to get much cooler than that).

The gameplay is also pretty satisfying too. Its not as in depth as a DMC, it is pretty "mash X to attack," but it works better for its style of combo meter in which once you hit like 40, whenever you kill an enemy you can execute them and choose a resource for them to drop. It becomes really fun to try to use the fun witch timey dodge counter attacks to build up combo to become this flying death.

You also know this game is raw because it has Dvorak's Symphony No. 9 "From the New World."
