Ray's the dead review

Ray’s the Dead Review – Bug-Filled Corpse (PS4)

Announced more than seven years ago—before the PlayStation 4 was even out—Ray’s the Dead is a Pikmin-like game that sees the recently deceased and freshly reanimated Ray controlling a horde of zombies in an attempt to stop an evil and nefarious plot and figure out the mysteries of his own death and rebirth as a member of the undead. Set to a funky ’80s vibe…

  • '80s references are fun and entertaining
  • Unique 2D-on-3D art style
  • Some fun and interesting concepts
  • Clunky and inconsistent gameplay
  • Overwhelmingly frustrating and difficult combat encounters
  • Loads of bugs impacting gameplay
  • Underutilizes certain puzzle and mechanic concepts it should have leaned into more
