Gungrave G.O.R.E: Death Ronin Grave

The brooding pace and relative silence that characterize writer-director Michael Sarnoski’s The Death of Robin Hood is more evocative of his standout debut film Pig than it is his far more mainstream A Quiet Place: Day One, making this elegiac but brutal period piece his most niche and least accessible film yet. Still, its heady mix of mournful drama and murderous action certainly distinguish it from the litany of other Robin Hood films in existence.

No longer do guns have near-infinite range (though they still have infinite ammo) in Gungrave G.O.R.E. Blood Heat, which requires you to get up close. In response to this shift, melee combat is far faster and feels more responsive. When playing the original G.O.R.E., fighting up close never landed for me, so I found this new iteration to be a treat, and it really upped that feeling of being a badass.
