- Suda51 и Grasshopper Manufacture ушли от NetEase - студия снова стала независимой - 30 September 2026
Grasshopper Manufacture, известная по необычным экшенам Suda51, завершила сотрудничество с NetEase и вновь стала полностью независимой студией. Решение было принято после выхода Romeo is a Dead Man — крупного проекта, над которым команда работала в рамках партнёрства с китайским издателем. Suda51 сообщил, что будущее Grasshopper Manufacture обсуждалось с NetEase в течение длительного времени. В итоге стороны пришли к решению разойтись, сохранив хорошие отношения. Главная причина, которую называет сама студия, — желание создавать игры самых разных жанров и форматов. Grasshopper также отмечает, что за время сотрудничества усилила собственные возможности по самостоятельному изданию игр, поэтому теперь сможет гораздо свободнее определять судьбу своих будущих проектов. Grasshopper Manufacture работала с NetEase несколько лет. За это время студия выпустила Romeo is a Dead Man, однако других к…

- Ромео не умер: Обзор Romeo is a Dead Man - 10 February 2026
В играх Гоити Суды очень много Гоити Суды. Любая работа – это в первую очередь зеркальное отражение её автора. И всё же: в играх Гоити Суды очень много Гоити Суды. Не столько каких-то конкретных художественных решений, сколько безграничного количества вещей, которые увлекают и волнуют самого Суду. Будь то его одержимость латиноамериканской культурой, ретро-геймингом и западным кинематографом, или же общая склонность к автобиографичности – постоянному цитированию и творческой рефлексии. Возможно, что именно эта особенность позволила Суде успешно сформировать свой собственный авторский бренд: псевдоним Suda51 ничего не скажет вам о содержании конкретной игры, но определенные представления о её наполнении у вас всё же будут.

- Romeo is a Dead Man review – an offbeat action game that finds its groovy, gory rhythm - 10 February 2026
Like the summonable, energy-shooting ghoul I cultivated on my spaceship’s zombie farm, Romeo is a Dead Man is a bit of a grower. After an iffy start that exhibits plenty of Grasshopper Manufacture weirdness but not much Grasshopper Manufacture charm, its disparate parts do eventually coalesce, forming a lean yet muscular hack 'n' slash with a playful talent for mixing up its mediums.

- ROMEO IS A DEAD MAN (PC) Review - 10 February 2026
When I previewed ROMEO IS A DEAD MAN back in January, I had said that it didn’t take very long during the initial trailer to realize it was a Suda 51 game—granted, as a fan of KILLER IS DEAD , the name was certainly a bit of a giveaway. Despite my brief time with it, I could already tell the game was going to be something special, but I don’t think I was fully aware of just how special. Maybe I just have a soft spot for Goichi Suda, but the man has yet to put his name on a project that wasn’t genuinely good—even ones where he couldn’t fully realize his vision . The more I played ROMEO IS A DEAD MAN , the more I realized that not only was it an interesting game with a lot of ideas and things to say, but it’s also one of the most insanely fun action games I’ve played in a while. I spoke about it a bit in my preview , but the story of ROMEO IS A DEAD MAN feels at the same time unbelievably…

- Going Hands-On With ROMEO IS A DEAD MAN—Death And Taxes - 6 January 2026
When I saw the initial trailer for ROMEO IS A DEAD MAN , it only took a few seconds before I even knew what it was that I said, “Ok, this is a Suda game.” Only moments later, my suspicions were confirmed. I’ve been a fan of Suda51’s games since I first experienced the subversive and deeply impactful Killer7, so seeing his name on a project is usually an immediate seal of quality. Naturally, I was extremely excited when CGMagazine was offered a hands-on preview of ROMEO IS A DEAD MAN because Suda’s games always do an excellent job of blending unique gameplay with poignant themes. Even during my brief time with the game, I could already get the sense this was going to go in some interesting directions. In what I would say is pretty typical Suda fashion, ROMEO IS DEAD MAN has a gonzo opening. It has no less than three different tones—starting with a somewhat idyllic narration about a typic…
