A confession: the only Suda51 game I've ever played is Flower, Sun, and Rain on the Nintendo DS, which I enjoyed despite having no clue what was happening at any given time (I think it had something to do with The Silver Case?). A second confession: I love—non-ironically—Deadly Premonition, Swery's 2010 opus that does a lot of individual things quite badly but somehow amounts to something incredible.
So I was pretty interested in Hotel Barcelona, a 2.5D action roguelite that emerged—like Athena from Zeus' skull—from a hot collabo between the two creators. And then I stopped being quite so interested: reviews weren't great—the game currently stands at a 56% Mixed user rating on Steam, and critics weren't in love with it either.
