Hell is Us

I think Hell Is Us is a generally great game, but comes with some things to note when considering if you want to play it. First, I'm glad to say the story is quite good. However, be warned it is not shy about the dark nature of it's content. It's a civil war featuring ethnic cleansing and genocide by both sides of the conflict. And everything you can imagine happening to civilians in that kind of situation is on display. The supernatural and conspiracy elements round things out so it's not simply a civil war. But while you're dealing with these things, the civil war is what most NPCs are dealing with. Second, the puzzle and world design is really hands off. You have to read. There are no quest markers. At best, quests will append notes to your electronic device that keeps you organized on who is doing what. You will probably need to pull out a pen and paper at times and jot things down when sorting some puzzles. You'll also generally be solving puzzles as much as you're fighting so if you're not down for reasonably involved puzzles with a good bit of inference, this might be a game to avoid. Oh, and some of the quests are time dependent so if you advance the story without finishing some quests, NPCs might move on or die - choices and consequences of you helping them or not. Third, we have the combat. And this is where things get tricky to evaluate. I don't think the combat is "bad". That would imply that it doesn't work at all, or isn't satisfying ever. The actual moment to moment fights, and the mechanics are at worst passable, but usually solid. What isn't great is enemy variety. You will fight the same enemies generally all 30 hours. Now, they DO change. There are three level tiers to enemies and they will progress upward as the game goes. What this means mechanically is that enemies get more aggressive. So the attack patterns get faster, special attacks get added in that disrupt your drone, have big AoE, or shorter wind ups and can lay you out quickly if you're not on your toes. You will often be more outnumbered and need to keep positioning in mind. So in one sense, the game is incredibly repetitive with it's enemies. In another, there is a progression still. Just maybe not enough to get more than a "Good Enough" rating when it's all said and done. On the technical side of things, the game runs well though I did note some choppy frames occasionally when moving into some larger places. It wasn't constant, but it was there. Visuals are generally nice. They're not the best graphics, but they're not lacking for a 2025 game, either. Voice acting is generally good, at least in English. I don't know if anyone will fall in love with these characters, but they're emotive enough to feel like interesting people. Sound is generally excellent. The ambient music is very moody and likes to use distortion to warn when enemies are around. Very ominous most of the time, which can lead to the game feeling very tense. So maybe find something happier in between play sessions.

It is fun however keep in mind right now that it is crashing frequently. Wait for updates and for the game to develop more if it develops at all and then look at the reviews to see if it's still is crashing. At the time of writing this within 3 hours the game has crashed 8 times. Unrelated to the crashing issues I enjoy the difficulty settings where you can customize the difficulty by modifying enemy HP and damage output.

Excellent Game, Definitely deserves more love than it got, Game played flawlessly. Very intriguing approach, with an investigation style to a souls type game. Its probably only a single playthrough game for most. As enemies can feel a bit derivative towards the end. I would recommend switching up weapons types to keep things interesting. Overall I would recommend to anyone seeking a souls game with a twist.

Unfortunately, this game doen't pass my 2 hr refund window 1. maybe im a spoiled child but games where you can't climb or jump are -100 points for realism. I mean my charachter can do amazing things, have to unravel great mysteries and maybe save the world (or smth) but a log or a small fence stop him on his tracks? Come on 2. Combat feels random and unpolished (maybe controller IS needed as game suggests) but from keyboard and mouse - just feels off. Janky movement, some lock mechanic is needed for precision (that's def crutches for controller). Just mid there. But reading other reviews, many people say it's repetitive, so why would I want more of that

Il gioco è estremamente maturo la trama originale e avvincente, da amante dei souls ho impostato la difficoltà al massimo trovando una sfida equilibrata, gli enigmi ambientali e il world building sono davvero ben fatti, questi ragazzi meritano che si parli di più di questo gioco 8.9/10 PS. Non c’è ne una mappa ne una minimappa ma considerato che il gioco non è un openworld ma è strutturato in macrozone tutte diverse è una scelta sensata.

Определенно рекомендую. Получал удовольствие от игры от начала до самого конца. Очень понравилась стилистика и приземленный тон, который показывает все ужасы войны. Немного жаль, что финал не дожали как следует, но надеюсь, что это заделка на продолжение. Как человек уставший от современных игр искусственно раздутых до 100+ часов очень доволен аккуратной компактностью игры на уровне масштаба игр времен конца пс3 начала пс4. Зато ничего лишнего и к финалу не устаешь от игры. Отдельно кайфанул от того, что убрали карту и метки, что заставляет сохранять внимание на том, что происходит. И это еще больше погружает в процесс и не душит, т.к. если читать, то в целом понятно что куда и как, если немного подумать. Ребятам респект и удачи.

Однозначный палец вверх! прошел примерно 50% - очень затягивает! Однозначно буду проходить на 100%
