Hell is Us PlayStation 5

Very atmospheric Action RPG, that is worth buying! {I'd say this game is pulling the "Reverse Isekai" Trope to some degree? Monster are pulled into our world from some other dimension or something. The combat is solid. The world is interesting. The Characters are interesting. It's challenging, but not ridiculous. As long as you're curious and explore, you'll be rewarded. Its not perfect, there is some "back tracking"... there's not exactly a "map".. which is frustratingly annoying BUT does force you to pay attention whether you like it or not. OR you may just do like me, play & then get distracted by real life, come back and go "Derp derp".. where was I and what was I doing? and how do you fight again!? That being said, if you're a fan of "ARPG"... this game really is worth checking out. It at least rewards you for "getting skilled" when it comes to combat. There's no punishing the "player" with schemes or schisms "Because the dev just wanted to".. It is a fair game combat wise, is what I mean. NOW that being said, they do a bit like Dark Souls in luring you in with "items" you can see... and you may get into some fights you'd rather avoid b/c of curiosity. BUT it may be an item you want! Anyways, from music, to sound, to combat, set pieces... This game really nails all of it! It's worth playing if you spelunking around the world without your hand being held. There's a certain nuance to this game. I think in the future it may be looked back upon as a "classic"..... I know I look at the ARPG game "The Surge" like this. It has the silliest of names as a game. But the armor & weapons and combat. Like there was a nuance to it all & once you nailed it! Man did that game become really enjoyable. BUT it was such a huge barrier to entry that.. it wasn't until you got "REALLY COMMITED".. did it get good. "Hell is US", this game does ask for a certain level of commitment. Take its hand & dive in! Read more

(If you like Netflix's Dark, I recommend this game) now to the review! It desrves your attetion Games like this are simply an anomaly in today's video game marketing and I mean this in the best possible way. This game was an absolutely joy to explore, I love relying on my tools to get along, from my compass to mental landmarks I set for myself, to physical notes I took on an actual notebook! There's a real satisfaction from solving riddles, puzzles and finding your way in the terrain. This isn't a game you should sit down for a quick speedy playthrough; it deserves your attention, and you should take your time. It can be overwhelming at first, but taking notes makes everything a lot simpler and easier to keep track of. Incredible Soun Design The sound design is the best I've ever heard in a video game. One if my favorite examlles is when it rains, you can hear the individual dropples falling on the different surfaces, as you get close to objects like cars or rooftops, you can hear rain falling on those surfaces in proximity with incredible accuracy. Immaculate Atmosphere The synth/ industrial wave music is the perfect soundtrack to enhance the atmosphere of this game. Everything from the level design, art direction, architecture...etc adds to the atmosphere. You Uncover thr Story This game isn't going to feed you the story. Yes, it has strong narrative beats here and there, but the lore and depth come from your own exploration. It's up to you to understand the world and uncover the truth. Read more

Absolutely loving this game. You start off basically as somebody who left Eastern Europe and then came back as an adult working as a NATO member. Apparently some soldier took over an area and there's a lot of supernatural things going on. I don't want to spoil the story for everybody but it's very moody, atmospheric and great. There are absolutely no indication, go left right etc. All information needs to be gathered from paying attention, exploring and the random people. Even simple little things by the objects you collect. What people are talking about to you directly paints the story it doesn't handhold you. It's a very sensory type of game and sounds phenomenal if you have a surround sound. From what I gather so far the combat's pretty good but I just started my game so I don't have a ton of things unlocked but it's fun. It runs phenomenal on the PlayStation 5 pro. And it's pro-patched. If you're looking for something random that came out of the blue and that is not AAA but AAA quality. This is the way to go. I also like the fact that every single character you encounter even the normal people look like there's something wrong with them or they have a weird look to them. Whoever did the character designs deserves a trophy. Read more

Pretty good game...is very challenging sometimes but you can find fun in that aspect too Read more

Hell is Us is a great game that doesn't hold your hand.. This game actually makes you think on the many puzzles it provides but also gives you all the tools necessary to figure it out while spreading it across a gorgeous semi open world full of secrets to discover.. The Grim world building is very well done.. I'll say combat is fine but nothing special and enemy variety is low.. the action is pretty flashy with cool finishers though and it can be fun in some capacity.. the weird synth music is fantastic and really helps build the unique atmosphere of the whole game while exploring.. I would recommend this game.. Read more

It’s a beautifully atmospheric game. The setting in war-torn Hadea is incredibly haunting. I'm a fan of exploration-heavy games, and I loved there was no map or waypoint cluttering the screen; navigating by instinct and clue-solving felt refreshing . Read more
