Hatred

There’s nothing really special about Hatred. It’s a twin-stick shooter. It has guns in it. It has objectives. Most of the time those objectives involve acting like a menace to society or blowing stuff up. It doesn’t have anything new to bring to the table, or anything interesting to say about the genre. You can go back to yelling at it now if you want.

Hate leads to suffering.

Hatred fails in every way. It fails to be a fun, entertaining game. It fails to be a technically competent release. And most of all, it fails to be a controversial, shocking experience. It even fails at being bad in an interesting way. By the time you’re taking on levels requiring multiple stages, the thought of repeating the tedium all over again becomes untenable.

For all of the shock and hullaballoo following its path toward release, Hatred is nothing special or particularly egregious in the world of video game violence, except for the fact that it relies on that violence alone. The game takes itself extremely seriously and has plenty of extremely violent content...

Ultra violent and desperate to shock, but this is far too boring and repetitive a game to either love or hate.

Hatred is a premise that may have worked if we had some understanding of motivation--either on the part of the player character, or a more satirical or social point envisioned by its developers. Instead, the violence is so arbitrary that it oscillates between disturbing and boring. When you’re asked to kill over a hundred civilians just because the game asks you to, it gets really old, really fast. If Breaking Bad had Walter White cooking meth just because he wanted to, viewers would have found themselves bored with his adventures. It was his backstory, motivations, and deteriorating condition...
