Another entry from Grasshopper Manufacture (Lollipop Chainsaw, Shadows of the Damned, Let it Die) that I really enjoyed. Killer7 deals with the titular group of assassins as they go about completing assignments given to them throughout the story. These assignments ramp up in importance all while maintaining a mystery as to why these killings are needed. Of course, it's all revealed at the end and it's not all clearly explained (at least for my monkey brain).

I really like how they experimented with the controls as there is no free movement besides aiming. Your characters only move when you hold down the "A" button and you choose your destinations when you come to a crossroads. It's really just on-rails shooting and movement, but feels flashier due to the game's fantastic art-style. This game is stylish AF and there's really not another game out there that has the same vibes. There's even really well animated anime cut-scenes every now and then that feel right out of a late 90's to early 00's show.

Gameplay is a familiar, yet different feel. You'll aim in first-person and each killer has a different weapon usable. It's mostly all guns besides a shuriken or throwing knife mixing in. Enemies will usually have weak-spots to aim for to put them down faster, but you can always blast your way outta situations using the shotties.

Overall, this game is a trip and absolutely insane. I love it.
