There are full walkthroughs on YouTube. It's essentially an Alien Shooter game with 2015 graphics/physics. And edginess.

John Walker review, no surprises here: https://archive.is/NxM5a

I’m pretty sure there’s nothing to be rescued from this. To be good, it would need to be reconfigured from the ground up, made to actually work as a twin-stick shooter, and then given one hell of a lot more to do within. For it to be a controversial, censor-defying piece of provocation, it needs an entirely new perspective. Set it in a high school, have it feature children as well as adult civilians, let it revel in the consequences of the destruction of ordinary lives… something, just something to let it have its own offensive voice. Rather than the nothingness result of a pseudo-demon character shooting at blank, dumb-ass AI dolls.

When a game’s highlights are its bugs (I especially enjoyed a SWAT van being violently propelled about a block away after tapping a stationary pick-up truck, and landing on top of a train), then you know you’re in deeply crappy territory.

Hatred fails in every way. It fails to be a fun, entertaining game. It fails to be a technically competent release. And most of all, it fails to be a controversial, shocking experience. It even fails at being bad in an interesting way. By the time you’re taking on levels requiring multiple stages, the thought of repeating the tedium all over again becomes untenable. After a miserable few hours, I’ve not completed the game, so goodness knows, perhaps some incredibly shocking thing happens toward the end. But it seems unlikely, and getting there would be no fun for anyone. If you were looking to rubberneck at the engineered controversy, there’s little to care about. If you were planning to buy it to show those feminazi SJWs a thing or two, you’re going to get stuck with a shitty game-shaped hole in your wallet. It is, beyond all the hype, just a crappy game.

I've completed the first two levels, so I'm about as qualified to review this game as an average game journalist is. So, my final verdict is:

10/10 GOTY masterpiece, Ben Hur of video games. Just as as I expected.

In that case can you explain what that "Are you Drunk" setting is for?

I have no idea. I have the qualification of an average game reviewer, remember? I'll test it now, though.

Doesn't seem to do much, visuals get slightly hazy and I got "Cheers!" achievement, it seems. Maybe there are some other effects if you play the whole game with it, or something.

Obviously Hatred [official site] has engineered itself, with the support of a jejune voluntary army, a degree of infamy. A drearily tasteless and cheap (in all senses of the word) promotional campaign dared a mostly uninterested world to care that it was to feature a lone gunman slaughtering hundreds of innocent civilians. They got a bit of attention from the credulous, but not much, and now the finished isometric shooter appears with little noise. Despite all that, I’m not here to review the clumsily engineered politics behind its development, but the game itself.


It has engineered itself a degree of infamy by a rather naive army's doing. - Projection.

A drearily tasteless and cheap promotional campaign hooked an uninterested world. - Projection.

They got attention, but not much. - Projection.

Clumsily engineered politics behind its development. - Super projection as well as a contradiction to the first line.


#1 seller on Steam currently. - Priceless :smug:

It's currently topping Steam selling list which is pretty amazing for a niche game like this. Well done Polygon, couldn't happen without you.
