No More Heroes 2 was the last good Suda51 game, and he didn't even direct that one.Suda has cited Kafka as a major author of influence in his work, and everything about the KILL THE PAST series (which includes K7) points to him not making it up. So you're really not going to find sincerity or gravitas in his work: his earlier titles are all puzzle-narratives with pretty juicy socio-political commentary baked into crazy shit, and his latter titles are all him alchemically spinning obnoxious self-indulgence into keeping the lights on at Grasshopper.
I'm not a huge fan of modern SUDA, and I'd say all his games are pretty skippable if you don't immediately click with his fondness for burying the lede in zany bullshit.
