Cool, I thought this looked decent but didn't bother cause I don't play much on PS5 anymore. I might grab it if the port is good / depending on what else comes out around then.

Game was so good man, the ambiance and overall atmosphere was just top tier. One of my favorite platinums to date

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
It's a newbie-friendly 'souls-like' in the most barebones terms.

Damn, so has the Direct been canceled this first half or what?
They litterally could've held a single direct this or last week that would've been genuinely impressive.

I was This close to picking it up on sale for PS5 but remembered about the rumored Switch 2 edition so held off. Glad I listened to my gut.

I absolutely loved this game, absolutely dripping with atmosphere and one of the few games I've went on to buy the soundtrack for.
Only thing that lets it down is the combat is fairly simple.

Ah makes sense i skibidi skipped it.
As a true PRO gamer i only play my games in the most difficult way possible and from soft is the only true hardcore anti newbie gamedev.

Absolutely fantastic game. I'll buy this on S2 just to support the dev, and hopefully get a sequel.

Yeah just to set proper expectations: it's "souls-like" in the sense that there's a semi-open world divided into zones that you explore while fighting monsters using third person melee.
But there's no souls/blood echoes/runes, there's no stat leveling and no "lose XP upon death" mechanic. The combat is less difficult and there are basically no epic boss battles.
However, this game is quite brutal in its own way: Hell is Us has zero handholding. ZERO. There is no real map, there are no UI indicators, no pointers, no GPS lines, no minimap. You have to figure stuff out on your own and remember pretty much everything anyone says to you. The game has characters, documents, photos and stuff that guide you along, but you have to piece things together yourself.
This is a very cool and unique approach, but I can tell from personal experience that if you stop playing for a month or two and jump back in, it is absolutely crazy how you're supposed to pick things back up without any pointers.

The world building, the puzzles in this game and atmosphere throughout
It was dark and gloomy as fuck. Some real fucked up stories in the game, they were not afraid of detailing the horrors of war.
More diversity in combat, unique weapons ala Dark Souls over the archetypes, and a better ending, would nudge the sequel into the GOATs

Yeah I just wanted more enemies and bosses. That's all that was lacking.The world building, the puzzles in this game and atmosphere throughout

Pretty sure there will be a massive patch by the time of switch 2 release or before that should alleviate this complaint

I've not played it yet, but what made you stop..? I've heard there's stuff like a lack of enemy variety?

Yea needed a few more enemies for sure but that wasn't a big deal, every nook and cranny was willed with details and weirdness, the game is actually bigger than one may realize as well

Yea I don't think I would go back in either as I 100% the game, but it's a nice sign to know the devs listened and if there's ever a sequel (I hope), they'll improve.
