Roundup: Here's What The Reviews Say About Xbox Horror Title 'Slitterhead'

Slitterhead, the Silent Hill-like horror title coming to Xbox later this week, has perhaps flown under the radar a bit ahead of its launch on November 8th. However, reviews for the upcoming Xbox release are now out in the wild, so we thought we'd gather a bunch of those down below to give you a general idea as to how this one is shaping up.

Also, up above we have some fresh Xbox Series X gameplay from the title to share with you all, so feel free to check that out as well! In the meantime, here's what the critics are saying about Slitterhead:

Niche Gamer (9/10)

"While it is apparent that Bokeh Game Studio was working with a tight budget, they knew how to stretch their dollars. Slitterhead is truly a special horror game that is sure to be a cult classic."

Press Start (8.5/10)

"Slitterhead offers a refreshing and unique experience that pays homage to Bokeh's pedigree while still establishing its own identity. Despite some minor flaws, the game makes great use of its weird but wonderful narrative and ingenious possession mechanics to bewitch you from the beginning. With such a distinctive sense of direction and style, Slitterhead is an incredibly strong debut that firmly establishes Bokeh as a studio to watch."

Eurogamer (4/5)

"Slitterhead is stylish and thrilling and unusual (and really, how can you say no when one particular Slitterhead that looks uncannily like Beetlejuice?). How lucky we are that something as singular and unapologetically strange as this exists."

GamesRadar (4/5)

"Part sci-fi body horror, part thrilling detective yarn, Slitterhead is a story of humanity versus monstrosity in a city where both are plentiful. Bokeh's debut release bravely takes strides to manipulate, challenge, and evolve how we play horror games, and while some of these risks do not pay off as well as others, Slitterhead's sheer creative ambition is impossible to ignore."

Push Square (7/10)

"Frustrating at times but fearlessly inventive, Slitterhead is an absolute must-play if you're looking for an original take on the survival horror genre.

Repetition and an overall lack of refinement do bring it down, but you'll be hard-pushed to find a more imaginative experience this year."
