A flawed but fun action slaughterfest with a great NPC-possession hook.

An action horror game I respect for trying many interesting things, but one I can't recommend by virtue of it sucking my patience dry.

Slitterhead isn't very good, but it is very interesting. In an age of remakes, sequels and safe bets, it's heart-warming to see something that's so clearly such a singular vision. We're disappointed that vision is sold short by basic combat and a focus on the game's ugly characters, but we're glad it exists and would welcome more attempts like it.

Slitterhead can be a slow-burn to begin with, but once its combat clicks, this is an action horror game like few others.
