Review Wanted: Dead (PS5) - A Fascinating Mess of an Action Game
Dead, but not buried
Jeez, where do we even begin with Wanted: Dead? It feels like an action game from another age, harkening back to the many lower budget, madcap brawlers that found cult acclaim on the PS2 and PS3. It's also an extremely janky release, absolutely packed with dodgy character models, borderline unreadable combat animations, and...

News Madcap Action Game Wanted: Dead Gets an Update Almost One Year After Release
Not dead yet
Wanted: Dead, the frankly mental action game that released on PS5 and PS4 last February, is getting an update almost one whole year after its initial launch. Due to drop on the 25th January, this PS5 patch includes a number of fixes for specific issues, as well as adjustments to how an especially difficult Trophy is unlocked. The PS4...
News Wanted: Dead Brings Big Bargain Bin Vibes in PS5, PS4 Trailer
Will you love it on Valentine's Day?
This Wanted: Dead trailer sure is a thing. Where do we even begin? It’s got hand-drawn cutscenes, then FMV of Stefanie Joosten cooking cakes, then some of the worst in-game cinematics we’ve seen in decades. The voice acting is all over the place, and the gameplay looks scrappy as hell – but there’s a...
News Wanted: Dead Aims to Be Difficult, Like the Japanese Classics That Inspired It
Button mashing just won't cut it
Wanted: Dead is a stylish slasher we have had our eye on for a little while now. Developed by Soleil, a studio that includes talent responsible for creating Ninja Gaiden (a series from which a lot of inspiration was taken) and Dead or Alive, combat is the primary verb in the game, and it's designed to be difficult...
News Scrappy PS2-Esque Character Action Returns in Wanted: Dead on PS5, PS4
A bygone era brought back
As much as we enjoy the PS5 and PS4 games of today, we do often look through rose-tinted glasses at the PS2 days. If you grew up during that period, you’ll remember it was possible to wander into high street stores and find bargain bins filled with titles you’d never even heard of. Many of these weren’t great, but...
News Enjoy 30 Violent Minutes of Developer-Led Wanted: Dead Gameplay
Bullets and blades abound
We have had our eye on Wanted: Dead, from the makers of Ninja: Gaiden and Dead or Alive, for a while now, and so today's offering was a real treat. We got an extended look at gameplay in a new video, a full half-hour of guns, gore and goons getting clobbered. Come for the cringy dialogue, but stay for the over-the-top...
News Wanted Dead's PS5, PS4 Box Has a Bit of Everything on It
Cats! Tattoos! Swords!
If you’re a fan of scrappy old character action games, the kind of weird releases you’d find in bargain bins at hardware stores for the PS2, then you’ll want to add Wanted Dead to your wishlist. In some ways, this game is channelling the spirit of busted Wii U exclusive Devil’s Third, as it mixes close-quarters melee...
News Violent Delights and Mech Fights Abound in the Gore-Drenched Wanted: Dead
Literally Tom Cruise
Wanted: Dead is a gory action game from developer Soleil that looks awesome, is violent as heck, and we love what we have seen so far. It's coming to PS5 and PS4 on 14th February, 2023, and is the perfect Valentine's Day game to share with that special someone in your life! The combat looks fast and impactful, and we especially...

News Wanted: Dead Brings Daft Character Action to PS5, PS4
A wild Stefanie Joosten appears
With the unforgettable Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance enjoying something of a renaissance of late, there’s probably a sizeable market for Wanted: Dead after all. The throwback character action game – created by Ninja Gaiden’s veteran director Hiroaki Matsui – looks plain weird in the way that some of the...
