Critic Reviews for Hatred
There have been more shocking and provocative things portrayed in the biggest blockbuster games than you'll see and do in Hatred. Maybe that's the point. Maybe this is all a garbled commentary on how normalised extreme violence has become in gaming. If so, it'll take something better than this tedious, glitchy shooter to ram the point home.
With boring gameplay and twitchy controls, an impressive art style and much-publicized controversy cannot hide the tedious shooter underneath 'Hatred's veneer.
With bad A.I., design issues, and repetitive combat, what there is to enjoy in Hatred quickly fades to black.
Hatred delivers fairly solid twin-stick shooting mechanics. However, it becomes incredibly boring, repetitive, and frustrating over time
Hatred isn't fun, interesting, or titillating enough to command your time or attention.
An emptyl, sense-dulling twin-stick shooter that is as monotonous as its black-and-white color palette.
It's a pretty competent action game with really great visuals, but marred by quite a few flaws. If you don't like playing with keyboard and mouse, then steer clear, but if you don't mind putting your controller aside, and you enjoy the genre, it can be worth quite a few hours of your time. I didn't hate Hatred, but I didn't really love it either. Yet, it's a pretty promising debut for a new indie team.
Ultra violent and desperate to shock, but this is far too boring and repetitive a game to either love or hate.
