Update: the devs have released a Major update just one day after i wrote this review and finally after 6 years they've adressed some of the flaws that i've mentioned. But they made others only worse with the FMV's being A.I. upscaled but other than that the reload animations and QoL changes are a welcome improvement i guess... Killer7 is not a game for everyone but everyone should play this game at least once in their life. I didn't like this game back when it released on GameCube because i was expecting this to be another Resident Evil 4 but it's far from it and far from any other game that i've played. It's an on-rails third person shooter with first person aiming, but it's the best kind of on-rails shooting where you can backtrack and even find secrets. Why Suda designed the game like this i have no idea but it somehow becomes a blast once you get the hang of the gameplay. First let's talk about this port, it's good with a couple of flaws. - The tutorials only display gamepad buttons which is good if you're using a Xbox controller but mouse and keyboard is far superior but then again confusing because the game only displays gamepad prompts. - The full motion videos are all very low res and look awful on a HD screen but this can be somewhat fixed with a guide available here on Steam i'm just dissapointed the porting studio didn't do a better job. - The reload animations are all 30fps which is very distracting during play. +- I've read that the game isn't really 16:9 but stretched 4:3? I don't know but the game still looks amazing in HD because of it's cell shaded graphics and you can always force 4:3 in the options. Aside from those flaws the game runs very well on high resolutions with an uncapped framerate, the sound quality is also superior to that of the original GC release and you can use hotkeys to switch personalities! Just for those reasons, and with the bonus feature of modding, this is the Definitive version of Killer7! In Killer7 you play as the 7 personalities of Harman Smith who are a group of assassins, each of them with their own unique traits and skills. Your mission is to kill a group of terrorists who are conspiring against the United States. The game is very story driven but i advise you not to try to understand the plot because it's really all over the place and it's really meant to be analised after you finish the game. The soundtrack is really good and memorable, it has this mix of jazz, drum 'n base and electronic music and i'm listening to "Sweet Relief" while writing this review. It takes me back to a time when videogames had good music. Now the hardest part for most people is the gameplay, it's restrictive, linear, confusing and very frustrating. Which is exactly why i didn't like Killer7 at first and i actually blame this on the game for not straight up explaining it's mechanics and objectives which you can all read in the Harman rooms but i just never did that. My advice to newcomers is to play the game on Normal difficulty and as much as possible with Con Smith. Con wields two Glocks and runs very fast which makes the game a whole lot easier and if you don't like Con then try Kevin Smith, this guy is also fast, has unlimited ammo and can even turn invisible. Be sure to always shoot the Smiles, which are basically zombies, in their weak spot it's a yellow flashing part on their bodies. Also you have to manually save your game each time since this was made for GC. Once you learn the game's quirks and mechanics then you'll have no problems playing with the other characters whom are all cool but very slow and definitely need their skills upgraded for the game to be less frustrating. While i love the game now, it still has a couple of things that i don't like, the boss fights are all creative and fun but it's not always clear what you're supposed to do and sometimes it's just a scripted event which can be a waste of time trying to beat them the wrong way. Also the laughter can be very tiresome after two or three chapters in. Despite that there was not a single moment where i found Killer7 to be repetitive or boring, it's packed with creative puzzles, varied enemy types, unique boss battles, silly and dark humor and a deep and over the top storyline which only Suda51 could make up. While the story is very interesting, it's the gameplay loop and level design that kept me going and which is why i highly recommend anyone to experience this game!

peak video gaming JUST remember to follow a guide to remove the awful looking ai upscaling so you can keep the recently added QoL gameplay changes. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3354742569

Great game but the last patch added AI-upscaled textures and cutscenes, some of which look substantially worse than before. To fix this, either delete a folder called "Replacement" (this does not revert the AI-upscaled cutscenes, only the textures) or roll back to the previous version of the game (this removes the arguably good QoL changes). Hopefully the developers can add a toggle somewhere to revert the game to the original textures and cutscenes or actually do a good job upscaling them instead of whatever the hell they did now.

So i finally decided to play the entire KTP Series (currently played The silcer case, The silver case 25th WARD, Killer 7, NMH 1+2, Travis strikes again: No more heroes). Killer is Dead/Shadows of the damned appear in TSA:NMH but are not an essential part of the KTP universe Not played so far: Flower Sun and rain (DS only) and NMH 3 as im waiting for a sale) I HIGHLY RECOMMEND TO PLAY THESE GAMES IN ORDER!!! Ill post this review on all these games, as some players state that the story of some games make no sense whatsover due to not having played the games before. Killer7/NMH plays in the same world as TSC. Killer7/NMH doesnt explain the lore behind the series or the events that happend in the past. So lets start with TSC: -My first VN experience, except for the beginning tutorial i had a pretty fun time ( i didnt know you could go through doors to progress lmao) -Remember to switch "A" and "B" buttons as TSC is a switch port -It is a niche game, however that does not make it a "bad" game. The "66" metacritic scores are a joke, saying the game is dated and not up to "modern standards". - Like MGS 1/2 story and presentation, TSC was way ahead of its time and is imo a timeless classic. -Enjoyment score: 8.5/10 TSC: 25th Ward -Sequel to TSC -Even crazier and f''ked up than TSC -If you enjoyed TSC you should definately play 25th Ward -Banger OST -Enjoyment score 9/10 If you managed to finish both VN games it is needless to say you should play all the other games aswell :)) Killer7: -Imo the conclusion to TSC:25th Ward/Kill the past series. -Story can only fully grasped if you played TSC/TSC 25th ward. In my case i nearly understood all relevant plot references and why things turn out the way it is. -Killer OST (no pun intended) -Enjoyment score: 10/10 NMH 1: - Start of the Spinoff series to the KTP universe/world -Only con i have is that the PC port crashes around 1.5 hours of playtime when leaving buildings. However, you canb save right before you crash everytime. That means, progress game, save game, trigger crash or restart game, continue game. -Set Display resolution scaling in windows display settings to 100% for true native resolution (applies to NMH 2 aswell) -Banger OST -Enjoyment score: 9/10 NMH2: -Sequel to NMH1 -Imo the story fits NMH2, those who say it doesnt missed the point of the plot entirely (pay attention to what the tuturial boss says in the CUTSCENE). Post credit scene was pretty confusing to me, but it makes sense if you reconsider what happend in NMH1 and what the tutorial says in NMH2). Or look up a reddit/NMH2 wiki blog entry. -NO CRASHES FOR ME (Win 11) if you start NMH2.exe in win 7 compatibility mode. -Imo the "worst" entry in the KTP series so far. I´d still recommend it. -Banger OST -Enjoyment score 7.5/10 Travis strikes again:No more heroes -TSA:NMH is the sequel to NMH2 -Oh boy where do i even start, this is on par with Killer7 if not even better -Basically a love letter to a certain publisher (i dont want to spoil anything :D ) and KTP series -Banger OST -Enjoyment score 11/10 and so far my fav KTP game.
