Major Reviews of “Hell Is Us” Surface Ahead of September Launch

By News Desk | September 1, 2025

In the final countdown to its September 4 release, Hell Is Us has drawn significant attention from gaming critics today. Two prominent outlets published in-depth reviews, highlighting both the game’s atmospheric strengths and divisive design choices.

Eurogamer calls the title a “masterpiece in mood,” praising composer Stéphane Primeau’s haunting soundscape and the game’s meditation on the cyclical nature of war, though cautioning that its mapless design and cryptic puzzles may prove tedious for some players. Meanwhile, The Verge lauds the blend of Soulsborne-inspired combat and wartime narrative, noting the enchanting setting of Hadea and the promise of rich mystery, but criticizes the execution of Rémi’s personal quest as lacking sufficient intrigue to “drive exploration” effectively.

Both reviews agree that Rogue Factor’s ambition shines through in Hell Is Us, setting high expectations for its release later this week.
