Hell is Us

Pros

• i played the demo. it seems good. i hope people aint gonna sleep on this game.
• If you like tonally dark action adventure games and miss needing to keep a notebook next to you while you figure a game world out for your darn self, it's great.
• The story, and world was amazing. You’re still given directions and leads, plus if you find an answer to a mystery (game mechanic) it’ll mark it in your journal with a little screenshot and general location.
• I loved this game - I truly wish I could play it again for the first time. Lots of great games this year, some much bigger in their appeal, but damn this game is a sleeper. I want more of it.
• It's one of those games that simultaneously begs you to binge it, and to do like 2 hour max play sessions at the same time. Very compelling, very pretty.

Cons

• I was a bit on the fence about that game because the difficulty looks like it might be a bit too much for me to enjoy, but the actual exploration element and investigation elements that I've seen so far look really interesting.
• Let’s start with pros: - fast combat... Builds on soulslikes (stamina, counter/roll, dng based health regen) with more standard combat - Catching story, although throughout the demo there is not much context. - World and lore seems like...
• It’s definitely this wording that is making me feel a bit off, too. I’ll be glad if the game is a success but the way it’s being phrased makes me cautious.
• Honestly some of the clues are fine but some things you’ll either need a notepad beside you or your phone with a guide. I got 2/3s through and realised I was playing the game through my phone and turned it off
• Yup definitely one of the better games I played this year. Combat and enemy variety was a little meh, but the exploration and environments were great.
