Critics Give Their Ratings to Silent Hill Creator's Horror Slitterhead
Game journalists have given their verdict on Slitterhead, the new horror game from the author of Silent Hill and Gravity Rush, Keiichiro Toyama. The debut project of the Bokeh Game studio has received rather average ratings from critics.
The game received a 67% rating on Open Critic and 60/100 points on Metacritic. Judging by the reviews, the project was not released for a wide audience and, despite its obvious «pluses», has significant shortcomings.
Ratings:
- Press Start Australia — 8.5/10;
- TechRadar Gaming — 8/10;
- GamingTrend — 6/10;
- Noisy Pixel — 7/10;
- IGN — 5/10;
- Screen Rant — 6/10;
- VGS — 2/5;
- Metro GameCentral — 3/10.
Critics praised Slitterhead for its unusual gameplay with innovative concepts and «fearless inventiveness.» According to them, Keiichiro Toyama has not lost his creativity and is still able to surprise players with a new project. However, despite dynamic combat and interesting decisions, the game resembles a typical indie project with big ambitions and small resources, and unsuccessfully combines the action of Devil May Cry and survival horror.
Slitterhead is set to release on November 8 on PC, PS4, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S.
