Slitterhead MSRP $60.00 Score Details “ Slitterhead is the most creative action game that I've played this year, but it's also deeply flawed.” Pros Cons When a lauded creator goes independent to create their own project, the results are always fascinating. More importantly, they’re typically quite weird. We’ve previously seen this with games like Death Stranding, but Slitterhead is the latest entry into that eccentric pantheon.
The cycle of violence In Slitterhead, players control a spirit sent back in time and trapped in an eternal battle with bug-like creatures called Slitterheads that eat people’s brains and then possess them as mimics. The character designs of these Slitterheads are all outstanding, as is Akira Yamaoka’s soundtrack. With Siren, Toyama showed adeptness at creating a nonlinear narrative, and Slitterhead is quite similar in that manner, as all of its missions are set across the span of three days.
Body-hopping horror action Slitterhead is not a survival horror game like Silent Hill or Siren. This is a full-on action game with elements of body horror as players track down and kill the titular monsters. Sometimes, these creatures will take the initiative and attack players; at other times, they will run away when spotted.
This body-hopping combat certainly isn’t like anything I’ve played, but its novelty wears thin as fighting doesn’t feel very good. Slitterhead lacks a precise lock-on system, only focusing on an enemy when players hold down the left trigger to defend or queue up a special ability. It’s possible to deflect enemy attacks, but that’s never really necessary on normal difficulty, and the timing of when the deflect indicator appears is off.
