Review: Stupid Never Dies (PS5) – Toilet-Flushing, Monster-Munching Roguelite Stands Out in a Stacked Genre

Stupid Never Dies is Japanese developer GPTRACK50's debut action game for PS5, following teen Davy, turned into a shuffling corpse, who flushes himself down a toilet to battle the evil deity KOM and revive Julia. Its run-based roguelite loop lets Davy eat enemies like werewolves, cyclops, and harpies to absorb their powers, and buy perks from a burger vendor named Bessie using in-game currency. The review finds its scribblecore aesthetic and unhinged storytelling distinctive, though combat feels loose and early exposition is heavy.
