Generación Xbox
A worthy spiritual successor to No More Heroes
They were able to benefit from the UE5.
Suda 51 is overflowing with creativity and irreverence like never before.
It has the Xbox Play Anywhere label and that's already an advantage.
The chefs are amazing visually and during the battles.
An exquisite and crazy design and art style at the same time.
The story of Romeo and Juliet from a raw and visceral perspective.
Romeo is a DEADMAN is the culmination of Suda 51's best work.
There are sections that disrupt the rhythm
This may not please all players.
At times, one may feel clumsy, although the feeling quickly disappears.

wccftech
A pure, unfiltered singular vision delivering a "fever dream" that feels refreshingly unique
Engaging combat and progression mechanics that rewards experimentation on higher difficulties.
Extremely varied and unpredictable level design
Eclectic presentation blending 16-bit, graphics anime, and modern aesthetics seamlessly
The artsy, "fever dream" narrative will inevitably baffle some players
Though engaging enough, the hand-and-slash combat system is relatively straightforward, and easy to break
Relatively short length of the experience
No wrestling moves!

Its plot and its dialogues. Suda51 does not disappoint in this aspect.
Great artistic field
Phenomenal soundtrack
The fight, without being deep, is engaging.
The performance mode is not as well optimized as one might expect.
Without dubbing in Spanish
The difficulty curve can become challenging at the beginning

Areajugones
The combat is spectacular, with enough variations in both enemies and weapons to never feel stuck.
Alternating between hack and slash mechanics and third-person shooting adds a great dynamism to each encounter, especially against bosses.
The bastards system adds an interesting tactical component that offers a more than pleasant customization to the gameplay.
The combination of so many game genres, visuals, and narratives keeps you on the edge of your seat every second; you never know what to expect from the next hour of gameplay.
The cinematics are beautiful both for their variety and for being the trademark, which means that the story is followed with attention.
The game is filled with references to popular culture and breaking the fourth wall, reinforcing its remarkable personality both mechanically and visually.
From art to comics between chapters and particle effects during battles, its aesthetics are prodigious.
The soundtrack is the most stylish wonder in Suda51's work that one could imagine.
The game combines so many gameplay systems that it takes many hours to get into the rhythm, covering a significant portion of its campaign with a slow start.
The scenarios are visually flat and contrast very negatively with the unique art and designs of the rest of the elements, appearing to be extracted without any modification from an Unreal Engine asset library.
Taking into account its slow start and rapid progression, the content it presents seems insufficient, leaving you wanting to see more of both its argument and its battles.

Inter-spatial madness of Suda 51
Frantic, stimulating, and with several mini-games to level up our protagonist.
The artistic design changes are TOP.
As hack'n slash... it's a bit lacking.
There are moments in virtual reality that are a bit heavy.
Many mechanics, but few combos

Insanely stylish and cool as character designs and unmistakable presentation
Unpredictable and constantly surprising
Fun characters and distinctive Suda51 writing style
Flexible character-building system to make Romeo-I mean Dead Man fit your play style
Short, but sweet, focused experience that does not overstay its welcome, yet very replayable
No physical release
Combat needs more depth and is just serviceable
FPS gets very choppy in some stages

Suda51 doing what he does best.

The camera and the design of some battles can be frustrating in high difficulties.
The battle is becoming very superficial.

GameScore.it
Romeo is a Dead Man is a work with a very strong personality, recognizable in every stylistic, narrative, and visual choice.
Artistic direction simply impeccable, memorable
Fast, aggressive and spectacular gameplay system
In tight spaces or during crowded meetings, the camera can become a physical obstacle.
The absence of mechanics like parrying and a relatively simple combo structure make the game less deep than expected.

A crazy story that only Suda51 could come up with.
The character design and the blending of genres make the artistic direction of the game unique.
A violent action-packed adventure with science-fiction atmospheres.
The camera being too close makes it impossible to have an overall view of the action.
The refresh rate drops to historically low levels on too many occasions.
Where is the Japanese dubbing?

Nicely pixelated 2D spaceship base

Awkward switch between weapons
Too often, an uneventful exploration of the underground.
Palace of challenges thrown together without ideas
Before the first recoil improvement, enemies do not react to hits.
The story is intentionally told in a confusing manner.
3D assets seem outdated.
Unstable performance mode in the face of a large number of opponents.

The harvest of bastards, a brilliant idea
Its artistic direction, a pure and hardcore Suda 51 game
The progression between real space and subspace
Improvements in the form of fun mini-games
The pixel art phases on board the Last Night
The backup system inspired by Souls-like games
An interesting story with a backdrop of B-movie science fiction.
Sound design is a gem
Honestly, technically very nice
The gameplay mixing No More Heroes and Shadow of the Damned
A construction that is nevertheless clever on certain levels...
... Frustrating at times
Confused and unreadable fights
The camera, a nightmare despite the locking.
The gameplay loop that doesn't refresh enough
Some quickly anecdotal bosses
Too many underutilized gameplay elements
A botched optimization
The dungeons, which do not bring any additional value.
