  • Summary: Adam Smithson does his best to exist in his tiny apartment, alone, high above Century City. His only companion is a bonsai tree, which he dutifully cares for - perhaps only to pass the time. Time which seems to have no beginning or end. But like everything else in the city, his plantsAdam Smithson does his best to exist in his tiny apartment, alone, high above Century City. His only companion is a bonsai tree, which he dutifully cares for - perhaps only to pass the time. Time which seems to have no beginning or end. But like everything else in the city, his plants require blood to survive. So Adam is forced to find a regular supply on the dark streets below.

    A unique, multiplayer online extraction game, Hell is Others allows you to progress your character by way of customizable items you obtain for your apartment. Grow your own ammunition via blood-thirsty plants, explore the noir urban setting, confront The Others, and do your best to live to see another day... A day which never seems to come.

    Hell is Others is a mix of genres mainly including survival horror and looter shooter, but once acquired the right equipment comes into play Free for All mode too. Skimpy inventory slots, permanent loss of loot and a quite high difficulty, especially at the beginning, make us move circumspectly, gradually becoming more swaggering as our character’s stats grow. But it's a snap to die and find yourself back at the beginning, and the feeling of perpetual vulnerability ensures constant tension. As in all PvP games, its future will also be decided by the amount of updates and events added by the developers, but for the first dozen hours the fun is assured.

    Hell is Others has the atmosphere of a survival horror, the item management of a looter shooter, the replayability of a rogue lite and the customization system of an RPG, and it all works together beautifully.

    Hotline Miami meets Escape from Tarkov and H.P. Lovecraft in a weird, but fascinating extraction game PVPVE. A strange mix which can be hard and frustrating, but also incredibly satisfying.

    Hell is Others is a brutal nightmare of a multiplayer game that will appeal massively to patient players who are willing to make the time investment.

For the price you get a tense, well designed, and artistically beautiful top down extraction shooter. If you're a fan of Tarkov, The Cycle: Frontier, Hunt: Showdown, or Marauders then this game deserves at least a try. You might find it more to your taste than you expect. Expand

    Lovecraftian PvP extraction! Pretty cool. Love the story, the rabbits remind me of Donnie Darko.

    Addictive. Be drawn into a vortex of death, blood, and monstrosity.
    Top-down PvPvE. Sound design and art direction are absolutely spot on.

Will this game help you relax? No. It's intense, heart-pounding, unforgiving. You turn any corner with the chance of getting shot at or terrified by a jump-scare. Monsters and others lurk everywhere.

    But, is it fun? Oh Hell yes. Addicting and enjoyable. I find myself saying "just one more run". This should be part of your gaming rotation.

The gameplay was dull and repetitive, with little variety in terms of level design or enemies. The graphics were also underwhelming and lacked detail. The story, if you can even call it that, was convoluted and poorly written. Overall, this game was a waste of time and money. I would not recommend it to anyone. Expand
