Snatcher – Snatchers
Remember that time Hideo Kojima just completely ripped off Blade Runner and turned it into an anime visual novel? He called it Snatcher, and it was glorious.
You play a cop in Neo Kobe City who’s a member of J.U.N.K.E.R., an elite outfit dedicated to terminating Snatchers, skeletal androids who murder people and take over their identities as near-perfect replicas. But while Blade Runner gave more nuanced characterization to its replicants—it’s not hard to argue they occupy that film’s moral high ground—the Snatchers haunting Neo Kobe City are fiends through and through, good only for collecting J.U.N.K.E.R. bullets in their metallic brainpans. Fuck those guys. — Alexandra Hall
