quite happy that Killer 7 appears to take place entirely in eerily deserted liminal spaces
This game has a weird movement system where you just kind of go along fixed paths and occasionally pick a junction. It's pretty clunky, but it lets them get playful with camera angles so I'm kinda learning to appreciate it
One of my guys died and I had to send another guy to pick up his head in a bag, I think?
This game gives you a lot of characters to choose from and doesn't clue you in on what any of them are for, which is... frankly a little overwhelming.

I don't know what Coyote's deal is but I think it's very funny that his choice of cool one-liner is just hissing "you're fffffffucked"

Approaching the narrative from the position I am (read: ignorant) it's hard to know what I'm supposed to feel. Do the game's Japan–US relations reflect reality at all? Does it speak to some cultural anxiety of becoming irrelevant on a world stage? Why am I hastening its demise?
I feel like the concept of 'city built in the Texas desert explicitly for some kind of cult of personality where everyone goes jogging around gated communities in matching sportswear' is...

Suda's perception of America reminds me of Snow Crash in the sense that it's patently absurd but looks unnervingly plausible if you just extrapolate the present along the right set of lines.
