I nearly didn't write up a review on Killer is Dead. I'm still not quite sure how to.

The game is a hack-and-slash beat-em-up. At least I think it is.
You play an executioner with a super-powered katana who kills killers.

The idea for these reviews grew out of my initial project to play all of my games for at least long enough once to work out if I want to play them again, or delete them. I've been keeping a spreadsheet of all of the games I've played since December 1st.

Killer is Dead is the 326th unique Steam game I've played. It might be the first one I don't know how to rate.

It's very stylish, but runs at a low resolution, and doesn't appear to have any kind of menu to adjust anything, or even see the keybindings.

The storyline is interesting, but the misogyny comes in early, and apparently becomes part of the gameplay later in the game.

The storyline & visual style makes me want to play it again. The misogyny and complete lack of adjustments make me want to uninstall it.

I guess Killer is Dead is:

2: Meh
