Suda 51’s games always feel like a fever dream in the best way possible, and Romeo is a Dead Man looks like it’ll crank that energy to 11. Can’t wait to see how he twists the whole dead man angle into something gloriously bizarre.

Suda 51 never misses a chance to blend over-the-top action with his signature weirdness, and this looks like another wild ride. Time-traveling FBI agent with swords Yeah, that’s exactly the kind of chaos I’d expect from him.
