Hell Is US 'haunting setting, deep mystery, and satisfying investigative gameplay stand out, though combat can feel repetitive and enemy variety is limited.
Hell is Us' rich world and gorgeous design prop up its uninventive structure and simple combat.
Rogue Factor's Hell is Us immerses players into a war-torn land that's intriguing to explore but falls short in a few key areas.
Hell is Us has a blend of exploration, puzzles, and combat that, while familiar, pushes you to really pay attention to the world around you in a way that’s both compelling and occasionally frustrating.
Hell is Us is an absorbing, nightmarish meditation on the horror of war, but divisive design choices prove tedious.
While Hell Is Us confidently executes upon its story, quests and puzzles, so much of it feels hampered by the fear that players would give up too quickly if it kept on taking risks. I really, really wish it did, though.
Hell is Us feels like a modernized spin on the classic action/adventure game that, as a third-person game, feels obligated to include combat. The game’s investigation elements are much more fleshed out in comparison to the action, which is, at least, passable enough to endure while I enjoy the main treat of running around and solving puzzles. I’ll be deciphering the game’s remaining riddles well after I rolled credits, and I can’t wait to see what revelations await. Hell is Us isn’t perfect, but it’s a bold and respectable debut that largely delivers on its promise, laying a strong foundation for future stories in its fascinating world.
Hell is Us promises a narrative adventure without the handholding, and mostly delivers on that through rewarding exploration and experimental combat.
Hell Is Us developer Rogue Factor shows gamers a closer look at its main gameplay components, elaborating on why investigation is so important.
