Illbleed controls poorly, the writing is shoddy, the characters are flatter than cardboard, even for dreamcast the game doesnt look good, the music is grating and repetitive, the gameplay feels half-baked... but I cannot help but adore this weird little game.

I played Illbleed as a "devil pact" with my partner as we take turns playing "bad" video games to watch each other suffer. However, the more I played of the game the more I loved it. It's just so absolutely unique and insane that I couldn't help but be charmed by it.
The stilted voice acting (by most of the Sonic Adventure crew) and awful writing just made every joke (and unintentional jokes) hit so much harder.
The clunky controls and gameplay made the game feel unique and ambitious.
The visuals look terrible but with the plot device of the game being a shitty amusement park, they never broke my immersion. Plus all of the AMAZING textures for signs.
Sure the music is bad, but its the kind of bad that is so fun to make fun of.
Illbleed has so many memorable moments and is such a genuinely bizarre and fun time that I HAVE to give it a 5/5 because I'll never forget this game.
