EB's Owen Hibbert writes, "Ray’s The Dead features a gorgeous 2D art style that is a joy to see in action. I really cannot recall the last time an art style wowed me like Ray’s has, and that feels wonderful. The game has a very unique look about it that lends perfectly to its charm, characters are vibrant and laughable and dialogue is well written. Despite the build being over a year old, I still felt that it showed enough of the game for me to judge whether I would like it, and without saying too much, you should definitely hold hopes high for Ray and his undead pals. So what is Ray’s The Dead about exactly?"
PP: Ray's the Dead has one of the best soundtracks in gaming, and that's about all it has going for it. The gameplay is OK but repetitive and the performance is woeful. Unfortunately, none of the post-release patches have managed to raise this one from dead.

The dark zombie comedy action-adventure game Ray’s The Dead releases today on the North American PlayStation Store (and Steam), quite a few years after its original announcement during Sony’s E3 2013 press conference.
