It\u2019s scalding headline reads, \u201cShadows of the Damned Hella Remastered review &#8211; should have stayed dead,\u201d and it rates the game 3 out of 10, offering some harshly worded criticism. Commenting on the review, Suda jokes, \u201cDo I care about Metacritic scores? Of course I do.

The developer believes that companies have started following formulas that will give them high review scores when making games, and he strives not to do the same. \u201cWhat&#8217;s important to us is putting the games out that we want to put out and having people playing the games we want them to be able to play,\u201d he said for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gamesindustry.biz\/suda51-everyone-cares-too-much-about-metacritic-scores\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">GamesIndustryBiz.<\/a>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In other words, Grasshopper Manufacture know what games they want to make, and they know their audience, which is probably why Suda can afford to be so unbothered by negative reviews.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1495\" height=\"851\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1495px) 100vw, 1495px\" src=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/20241101-39212-001.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-39216\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/20241101-39212-001.jpg 1495w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/20241101-39212-001-380x216.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/20241101-39212-001-768x437.jpg 768w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Shadows of the Damned: Hella Remastered is available for the PC (<a href=\"https:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/app\/2535440\/Shadows_of_the_Damned_Hella_Remastered\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Steam<\/a>), <a href=\"https:\/\/store.playstation.com\/ja-jp\/concept\/10008909\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">PS4\/PS5<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendo.com\/us\/store\/products\/shadows-of-the-damned-hella-remastered-switch\/?srsltid=AfmBOor1EgiR8GvSlZIkH_oCZ_qywosVPJAs4Gw7jL6HjuW3J1S0Od-O\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Nintendo Switch<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.xbox.com\/en-US\/games\/store\/shadows-of-the-damned-hella-remastered\/9NG837368MT7\/0010\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Xbox One\/Xbox Series X\u2758S<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Grasshopper Manufacture CEO Suda 51 shares a 3\/10 media review of Shadows of the Damned: Hella Remastered, calling it &#8220;awesome.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":55,"featured_media":39215,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_gspb_post_css":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[17],"class_list":["post-39212","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-japan-related-news"],"blocksy_meta":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
