Hell Is Us is a game about the depravity of humanity and the consequences of our actions. Almost everything about Hell Is Us is crafted to perfection, from its incredible environmental storytelling to its characters and world. Though some may find it difficult to progress due to a lack of direction, its exploration becomes a key to its success. Its combat is fun with plenty of mechanics to mess around with, but it could have done with a little more enemy variety.

For many triple-A video games, appealing to a wide audience often means ensuring players can see a game to its conclusion. That sometimes translates to sanding down combat, exploration, and puzzle-solving to make it as approachable as possible. But this can also veer into making games too guided for their own good. Hell is Us tosses all of these conventions out of the window. Goodbye quest logs, maps, and objective arrows telling you where to go. By trusting players to figure things out, Hell...

Hell Is Us has a unique tone and setting that complements a deep combat system and exploration puzzle elements, but its complex layout and crisscrossing sidequests may have you begging for a map that the game proudly withholds

Hell is Us is a game that offers something unique, but that same challenge might turn away a lot of players looking for something with a more streamlined experience.

Hell is Us' rich world and gorgeous design prop up its uninventive structure and simple combat.

You’re ambushed by a monster. Your bullets do nothing. But suddenly, a masked warrior steps from the shadows. They strike at the monster with their shining blade. And right as they land the finishing blow, the monster cuts them down as well. Thus begins Hell is Us. Or at least…

As human emotions have transformed the country of Hadea, a man named Remi has returned to his once home in a search to find his parents. What he finds; however, are grotesque monsters, and while they are a direct threat, the real evil here is man.

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.

Armed with little more than a stolen drone and initially rudimental melee weapons, the player has to cross a war-torn country that, for good measure, has also been swarmed by scary and deadly creatures. This is the basic premise of Hell Is Us, a brand new triple-A third person action adventure, published by French publisher Nacon. We played through this single player campaign on Xbox Series X, and boy – there is tons to talk about. Here’s the XboxEra review for Hell Is Us!

Hell is Us knows what it wants to be, and if you're willing to take the ride, it may surprise you with its lore and approach to exploration. Just be prepared for plenty of awkward bumps along the way.

Hell is Us is an absorbing, nightmarish meditation on the horror of war, but divisive design choices prove tedious.
