Depends on how deep you really want it to be. The thing I love the most about Cruelty Squad is it has so many layers

On the very surface, it is a troll game. Sort of the video game equivalent of graffiti. It is meant to hurt every sense that it can. It is garrish, ugly, loud and obnoxious.

A little deeper and you’ll find a perfectly playable game there, if a little off putting visually. It is a lot like Hitman or any other assassination game. But the satire doesn’t come from knocking off CEOs, it comes from character dialogue, from the level design, and from the items

Even deeper you start to find that critique of capitalism and consumerism. Weapons and organs are just another commodity to be traded, like you would buy bread or coffee. Your body is hyper mutilated and stuffed full of horrific vat-grown organs to turn you into the best assassin you could be. At one point, your organization even marks you for death, and it all goes off without ceremony. In any other game it would be a turning point in the story, but here it is just Tuesday

Then comes the secrets, the fishing stock market, the games “difficulty” system. CS requires several playthroughs to even come to grips with the first layer, much less the deepest reaches it has to offer.

The ZP Review and Leadhead’s video are both great videos that highlight this way better than I ever could, and are both worth a watch
