Shinji Mikami Thinks Modern Games Take Themselves Too Seriously, And Shadows Of The Damned Shows He's Right
Briefly

Many modern action-horror games adopt a realistic approach to combat and graphics, emphasizing lifelike movement and detail. In contrast, Shadows of the Damned revels in its own absurdity.
Producer Shinji Mikami noted, '[Shadows of the Damned] is aware that it's a video game, and it's not trying to be something else. There's a lot of games these days that tend to take themselves a bit too seriously.'
Shadows of the Damned: Hella Remastered maintains a bright color palette and cartoonish animations, setting it apart from other titles by embracing its own unique confidence.
Shadows of the Damned showcases a brash confidence in its video game identity, highlighted by features such as enemy collectibles and exaggerated design elements, like 'demon pubes'.
