    Suda is right up there with the best in the industry. He’s got so much heart and no matter how bad the games may seem to others I see them as a peak form of expression in the medium. They’re not perfect by any means but I enjoy that he doesn’t conform to what’s feels “standard” in the industry.

Suda wrote for KID but didn't actually direct it. He didn't really direct anything from Grasshopper after NMH1 until Travis Strikes Again, his first directorial role in like a decade. He was involved with all the games since NMH1 on some level but was more busy managing the company than anything (since he is Grasshopper's CEO). The reason why people think games like KiD and LC are Suda's was because his name was all over the marketing tbh.
