Lollipop Chainsaw and No More Heroes director Suda 51 is known for taking risks. His studio Grasshopper Manufacture has created some of the strangest games out there from the surreal puzzle adventure Flower, Sun and Rain to the bonkers horror shooter Killer 7, you know a Suda title is always going to be a unique prospect. The mad maestro's latest concoction, the "survival action" third-person combat game Let it Die, is one of his most daring offerings yet, though not due to the game's actual content.
The bizarre third-person action affair contains all the usual surreal Suda touches - you start each life in your skivvies and eat live frogs to regain health - but its most audacious take is its payment structure: this is a free-to-play asymmetrical console title coming exclusively to PS4.
That's a pretty daring notion in an age where "free-to-play" on console often has a stigma of shovelware or "pay-to-win", but Suda and co. are hoping to change that bias with what seems like a shockingly polished entry in the action genre.
