Hell is Us

Отсутствие карты отбивает всякое желание наматывать круги часами на одном и том же месте. Только по этой причине дропнул атмосферную игру.

hra vam nic neřekne, kam jit, co dělat nebo proč to delat, neni zde mapa a orientace probiha skrze bloudění a nachazeni utrzku ktere si musime sami spojovat a domyšlet dohromady

Bardzo ciekawa gra w klimacie detyktywistycznym i na dodatek potwory . Grę uruchaiałem na Steam Machine i po kilku minutach wraz Steam Controller to jest w tej grze potrzebny dreszczyk walki padem jest ekcytujacy .

Not recommended. I've played games from the 80's on... even old King's Quest games. This game is well polished and doesn't try to hand hold, but they make one critical mistake: throwing various items across many areas without any kind of quest tracking. So you get to a point where you are just back tracking, which totally kills any feeling of progression. You hit a wall for a few hours looking for the one clue or item that will move you forward.. and for me this just took me to a place where I felt like the game was wasting my time... because the story just wasn't compelling enough to ask this of me. As for the soundtrack - great.. for the first two hours... after that it just becomes never changing annoying drone. This game needed another 6 months in development and some tuning... I wanted to like it... in the end it was just wasting my time. The worst thing a game can do.

Maybe Hell is our friends we made along the way (also the big fat man with a hat shouting "obviously you didn't die, start over") Haven't finished the game though, might do it some time later I really like the atmosphere, the background and the worldview of the game, puzzle solving is pretty interesting, and GOD, the music and sound effects are astonishing. The story is okay(better with the worldview and stuff), the combat is okay too (I would say less satisfying than a fight-focused game but this is a puzzle solving game so it suffices) But the downsides are also pretty significant to me, which also leads to me not playing for a while First is that I feel like the whole game is too static and repetitive. To me it's just collecting things and fighting the same enemies over and over again, and since there's not really much story/character development going on, all the things feel a little bland Second is that there's so many bugs! The most prominent bug I get is that you sometimes can't interact(speak, trade) with a NPC at all until you quit and join. This had an impact on me since it happens on a very important NPC and took me a while to realize. Other bugs include unable to select items to trade, not able to block/charge attacks in combat, and enemies behaving weirdly(flying, canceling attacks) In conclusion, this game has a very good base, their art/music is really good and the worldview is really interesting. However, if you're heavily dependent on playing by building momentum, or want games with less bug, then this game probably won't suit you.

If you love both Elden Ring and the classic Tomb Raider games, you can't miss Hell is Us. + Atmosphere + Lore + Sound design + Combat system + Level design + Art direction + Difficulty balance and personalisation options + Free roaming, no hand keeping - Story is hard to follow - Limited enemy types recurring over and over again - Characters lack depth - Dialogues aren't memorable - Side quests are useless - Ending is abrupt, unsatisfactory and doesn't really close much of the story Overall, the cons might be annoying but the pros still make this a GREAT game that definitely deserved more attention, talking, sales and love.

My wife and I played this together and hot-seated. We played on her account using family sharing, hence few hours in the game on this account. On her account we got 79 hours. We played two playthroughs back to back, to get everything right the second time. The combat system is fun and rewarding, but it's not the main reason to play the game in our opinion. There are plenty of good games out there with fun combat and good looking graphics. The real reason to play Hell Is Us is the world building. We've been playing games for decades and very few have ever come close to the amount of world building there is here. The details are stunning: the history of a small isolated country has been written in detail, weaving intricate stories that span centuries (even a few thousand years, but that's of course not as detailed). Every research item is detailed, but also the visual language used in different eras, murals, paintings, etc, things you cannot even interact with in game but can still look at form a cohesive and extremely detailed and fascinating whole. The main story itself was ok, but it was more a journey of discovering the land of Hadea. As the main character answers when asked why he came back: "I had questions." There are no side quests per say, but there are good deeds to accomplish. You have no map (compass available) and no one tells you: "I need this" or "Go do that". Listening to their stories and remembering them is your way forward. You can play Hell Is Us as a pure action game, souls-like and all that. But then you're missing 90% of the game. Brilliantly done, let's hope this studio keeps making such intelligent games in the future!
