With his latest game Child of Eden out this month on Xbox 360, Tetsuya Mizuguchi is back after a few years away from the headlines. Auteur extraordinaire, Mizuguchi belongs to the pantheon of Japanese game designers with an uncanny ability for tapping into the avant-garde whilst still producing accessible gaming experiences.
His games often borrow from existing, validated concepts (like Tetris or Space Harrier), but his genius provides them with a sensorial overload that completely transforms them into organic experiences. In other words, his creations are a total trip – it has become a running joke in the industry that Mizuguchi’s games come from (and are meant to be played in) an, ahem, altered state of mind.
