Slitterhead offers a fresh take on horror gaming with unique mechanics and creative combat

Slitterhead, created by Silent Hill's Keiichiro Toyama, offers a fresh take on horror gaming. Players control a floating orb that possesses different bodies, leading to unique combat and exploration mechanics. This approach sets it apart from recent horror remakes. Unlike traditional survival horror games, Slitterhead emphasizes action and creativity in combat. Players can counter attacks and utilize special abilities from possessed characters, enhancing engagement. The game also incorporates environmental puzzles, making traversal more dynamic. While the storytelling may feel disjointed, Slitterhead's unusual style and mechanics provide a distinct experience. It stands out in a genre often dominated by remakes, showcasing Toyama's innovative vision for horror in 2024.
