combat issues
Overall, the reviews indicate a strong positive reception of the game, especially for its atmospheric and immersive qualities. The story and exploration mechanics are celebrated as engaging and unique, but there's a fair amount of feedback about the combat. The lack of a map is a point of contention, as it can detract from the experience for some. Despite its flaws in enemy variety and combat, 'Hell is Us' succeeds in delivering a rich narrative and an open-world exploration that invites players to uncover its mysteries.

Positive Points

  • The game's atmosphere, graphics, and sound design are highly praised for creating an immersive experience.

    • Negative Points

  • The lack of a map or in-game guidance can make navigation and progression challenging for some players.
  • There is criticism of the limited enemy variety, which affects the enjoyment of the combat system.

    • Mixed Points

  • The combat system, while having elements like a healing pulse and different weapon types, receives mixed feedback regarding its depth and engagement.
  • Puzzle difficulty varies, and while some appreciate the challenge, others find it can become an annoyance without sufficient clues.

    • Common Themes

  • The game emphasizes a return to old-school exploration with few guides, creating a sense of discovery.
  • The combination of dark, mature themes and atmospheric world-building is a recurring highlight.
  • The game is frequently compared to souls-like mechanics and other games like Alan Wake, Death Stranding, and Resident Evil in terms of tone and style.
