VGChartz’s Lee Mehr: “Ultimately, Kaizen Sport Works’ first title is a pleasing shock and an excellent addition to this style. The best way its darkish undertones are wallpapered over by its wildly eccentric visuals, soundscapes, and characters works so properly. Admittedly, sure gameplay and storytelling parts can really feel like empty pageantry, however they’re annoying speedbumps within the grand scheme of issues. Paradise Killer succeeds by promoting all of its ostensibly contradictory inventive decisions as inseparable components of a higher entire.”
