While many fans have expressed their satisfaction with the remaster, not all reviews have been complimentary. Shortly after launch, Dragami Games addressed allegations of censorship surrounding Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP. Additionally, criticisms regarding game performance have surfaced, with players noting issues in optimization. The absence of many tracks from the original game’s beloved soundtrack has also sparked discontent among fans eager to relive the 2012 experience. As players navigate the over-the-top narrative and engaging combat, there remains hope for improvements in future patches.
Although Goichi “Suda51″Suda did not return for Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP, he continues to explore new projects. In August 2024, he conveyed his enthusiasm for revitalizing Killer7 with collaborator Shinji Mikami, reflecting the ongoing popularity of the 2005 title. Furthermore, the duo’s past collaboration on Shadows of the Damned in 2011 has resurfaced due to a recent remaster. Suda is also immersed in creating Hotel Barcelona, which is described as a “2.5D slasher film parodic action”game, anticipated for release in early 2025.
