As reported by Automaton, action platformer Hotel Barcelona has finally pulled away from "Mixed" user review status on Steam to "Mostly Positive." This came after developer White Owls Inc. updated the game in a number of ways, including cleaning up its controversial deployment of generative AI.
The sidescrolling roguelike action game is notable as a collaboration between two eccentric, much-beloved Japanese auteurs: Goichi "Suda51" Suda (No More Heroes, Killer7) and Hidetaka "Swery65" Suehiro (Deadly Premonition). It was a dream team for a certain kind of PS2-brained freakazoid (complimentary), which made its rocky launch all the more painful.
