    I wouldn't listen to the major reviewers here, mainly from those websites, they only hate hatred cause of its content because you kill Innocent virtual people, apparently they cant tell the difference from what is real and what isn't, but hatred is quite a solid game, rather enjoyable and With the forth coming of mod support Hatred will only get better :D.

    In our days game like this is very rarely
    But game could be longer, more diverse. You shoot and move around big environments, using a variety of weapons, throwing explosives, and causing a lot of havoc.
    After hard day best to relax.

    Hatred jest to brutalna strzelanka w klimacie Postala. Opowiada o psychopacie, który bez znanego nam powodu wychodzi na ulicę i zaczyna mordować przypadkowe osoby.

    I walked out of the house with my guns and the people started running. I didn't know what was happening so I run as well following them. One tripped and I accidentally kicked him in the face and tumbled. Tumbling my handgun fired and his head exploded. I was shocked and shivered with sadness, I could only continue running, following the now faster running people into safety.

    Then I heard the sirens.
    The Police came and showed their worst behavior, starting shooting and not even trying to talk to me. So I started defending myself by throwing my grenade. ...Things then kinda escalated.
    But I hope you see it was not my fault. I guess police brutality is indeed a thing we all need to talk more about. The US police did kill 464 people in 2015...

    I've wanted this game since it was first announced and I gotta say; I am not disappointed in the slightest.

    The controls, especially the few times you are in vehicles, are a bit awkward at first. After you get used to them, it doesn't play bad at all. I would recommend playing with a gamepad for this one, though, as moving with the keyboard is really awkward.

    The controls, especially the few times you are in vehicles, are a bit awkward at first. After you get used to them, it doesn't play bad at all. I would recommend playing with a gamepad for this one, though, as moving with the keyboard is really awkward. Since the game is isometric, you have to hit W and D to move up/right, instead of W to go up/right, which should have been an option. Also, when using the mouse to aim, the camera moves around a LOT more, which can be disorienting.

    The graphics are great and stylized, and I've only rarely seen any slowdown. Lots of physics effects and the environments are destructible. You can for instance drive a car through someone's house, and then blow the car up, and watch the walls and bodies fly! This is complemented by the fire effects which shine in full color out of the black and white background.

    Be warned, this game has an oldschool setup when it comes to the difficulty. If you die, you have to restart the level over. You earn respawn points by completing objectives, which helps, but they don't carry over to the next level. This game isn't for rage quitters or people who want their hand held throughout the game. It's what I call NES hard. I'm currently playing through it on easy just to get a feel for the game, and it's still a challenge, especially the second stage. Once I complete the game, I'll definitely give Hard and Extreme difficulty a try.

    I currently have put two hours into the game, and it's damn fun, and a good challenge. It's not the deepest game, for sure, and I've heard it's not super long, but for $20, I'd say it's worth it. With Hard and Extreme difficulty modes, I'll definitely get my money's worth. As of now, I'd give it an 8/10.    … Expand

    I, for one, have to admit that this game is what I've been waiting for my whole life. It's the embodiment of pure carnage, leaving none alive in its indifference to sex, race or belief.

It's the embodiment of pure carnage, leaving none alive in its indifference to sex, race or belief. Years have passed since any stress-relieving really brutal game was made (Mortal Kombat doesn't count to this pool due to its frustrating situations), but the time has finally come for gamers to slay the innocent once more.

    Graphics in this game are really good - apart from a few bugs the game looks great with its grim black and white theme. This makes red blood and gore look even better! You can call me a psycho, but I'm afraid I'm not the only one who thinks that way. In terms of optimization however, things look a bit worse - even a pretty decent computer might have no more than 30 frames per second and Hatred is no Crysis, you know. Apart from that, it's cool.

    Hearing the sounds of people screaming and begging for mercy was a pure joy for my ears. The sound of guns and explosions is decent and a silent dark music creeping near your tympanum makes the feeling of the game even better. One thing that's missing is Dope's "Die **** Die" during some stages, but I guess that would ruin the whole atmosphere.

    When it comes to gameplay, well, it can get a pretty repetitive at times, but the locations change and some new ideas are put into each chapter, so it's not that bad. And it's all about killing people and there is a limited number of ways you can finish them using shotguns, smgs, knives, grenades and a few other things.

    The mechanics is good - you can hide behind walls and obstacles, light up explosive barrels, flank your enemies, so the tactical part is quite okay. There is one more cool thing, though - you regenerate life only by finishing your prey - how evil is that?

    Our main character is a psychopath in the very essence of this word. He treats humanity as a disease that has to be cured, one way or another. His quotes are awesome and you can really feel like if you're a part of a glorious mission of purging the Earth of human scum. Some of his quotes are a reference to Postal, so additional flavor points for that!

    All in all, the polish studio did a very good job fulfilling the demand for a gruesome and relaxing game. Hatred, in spite of some of its minor flaws, is what the community of gamers needed for a pretty long time. And don't tell me it's not politically correct: "Please don't think I'm a bigot, I kill races equally..."    … Expand

    A fun ass game which is very reminiscent of the original Postal. The art style is great and the world feels real with almost everything being interactive or destructible. This game also proves that some developers have a backbone and are willing to release something uncensored and unadulterated. They had a vision, and they delivered on it, and the execution (no pun intended) is great.

    Then this little game comes along, and causes an uproar due to its violent nature. How is this possible you may ask?
    Cause of context. Instead of trying to justify the homicide, this title embraces the spirit of a psychopath-terrorist-shooter and outright demands you to kill and mutilate the innocent.
    Rather than doing that tongue and cheek as a harmless joke it remains straight faced and absolutely mean spirited till the very end.

    Now a lot of people have been asking me what I personally think of it, and now that I have played it through till the end on the "Extreme" difficulty setting, I can give you that opinion.

    I'm going to say right off the bat that I had a lot of fun playing through the game, albeit a very short experience (5-7 hours depending on how much you die) the killing and slaughtering of the masses remains fun and challenging while appealing to my sadistic nature.

    A good control system, highly customizable to my liking, made it very accessible to get into.

    The visuals are very stylish, not to mention quite well done on a technical level for such a small team. It has cool looking destruction, some fantastic looking explosions and other great effects. While the whole game is in a gritty black and white, the police lights, blood, fire and other visual flares are in color, giving it that "Sin City" style. Which I personally find quite appealing.
    Lots of cold dark black, make the presentation fittingly somber to embrace the sinister theme. From the flaming skulls in the pause menu right down to the customizable "Skull" cross-hair, the game really roles with the aesthetics of hate. All under-toned by a nicely haunting ambient soundtrack, guaranteed to make you feel uncomfortable.

    The voice acting is also pretty solid, however the main protagonist, or should I say "antagonist" sounds like a caricature of the school shooter stereotype which makes the game very comedic. I'm not sure if that was intentional or not, but some of the one liners and monologues are so juvenile that I'm guessing they knew what they were doing.
    Slitting a woman's throat while saying "you reek of weakness you **** is so straight forward, that its funny in a dark **** up sort of way. While burning down an entire party, only to comment with "Birds of a Feather, Die Together!" is like something a child would wright on his math book, thinking hes a badass bastard.

    tumblr_ndjmpr6D0R1szg5leo2_500

    Even the game-play makes sure to embrace the hate! The health system cleverly makes sure to go out of its way to be sadistic, cause the only way to get your health back, is to wound someone and brutally execute them while they are whimpering in agony. Cause of that you end up running away from fights
    just to desperately look for innocent pedestrians so you can "feed" yourself back to health from the antagonists sadistic gratification. The game even says "Youre not a hero, don't hesitate to run from battles and regain your strength."

    But even though it controls well, there are many problems with Hatred. Sound and visual glitches, weird collisions with walls and objects, horrible vehicle physics that make it an absolute chore to drive any vehicle are just some of them.
    When you face masses of enemies that fight back and you try to melee them or shoot em up close there can be some very clumsy behavior, not to mention absolutely horrible AI. The executions are very clumsily "executed" as-well making the game behave weirdly, like people running into you or awkwardly aiming a gun at your head waiting till the victim is finished off.

    Another massive problem I have with the game is that once you beat it, there's nothing else to do, there are no extra modes to make you want to go on another killing spree, its just over, and all that there's left to do is try and get some of the achievments you may have missed, which I personally never cared about in any games. If you compare Hatred to other titles that allow you to go on killing sprees, such as GTA 5, Postal 2 or Prototype, Hatred feels very limited in the ways you can go about it. However I got to take in consideration that those games were all done by bigger studios which had more experience making games.

    While Hatred was exactly what I thought it would be, it didn't let me down in that aspect. But its not a game I could recommend to anybody looking for a solid title to sink a lot of time into.
    Clumsy, shallow, short, yet fun and delightfully dark. A modern, more sinister Postal.
    If I look at it as an art piece conveying the emotion "Hatred" I would give it an A plus, cause it is by far the most mean spirited, darkest video game I have ever played. The hate its getting from gamers, critics and other groups alike proves my point. An art piece titled "Hatred"    … Expand

This game is a protest against the Political correct content police which has seen the toning down (and dumbing down) of many game franchises. This much like the original GTA has capitalized upon braking the cultural and societal norm. This game reminded me of all the awesome OTT 1980's exploitation films and horror films such as Maniac cop The toxic avenger and of course Brain dead/Dead alive 1992. This Game is out there to be as OTT as possible and to cause as much hilarity as possible. Charging an election rally with a flamethrower is original and hilarious. This game is clear it is detached from reality from how ridiculous it is, there is no moral this game doesn't give a crap whether you like it or not and packs some refreshing challenge to it too. Takes me back to the days of the megadrive when some games such as splatterhouse were only there to convey violence. Games today hold you hand too much and are too easy, more games are being tailored to be children friendly (likely as allot of games purchases are made by parents) And the days of the badguys being introduced by murdering an unarmed family including children are gone (fallout2) . Furthermore many games have removed the capacity to make evil choices and force you along the path of good, whilst i prefer choice (which Hatred does not provide) it is nice to have an antithesis to the games which are attempting to remain successful by avoiding taboo subjects. Finally Hatred isn't a great game but for my enjoyment it didn't need to be, if you go into a game with as ridiculous a name/marketing campaign as this expecting something of A quality then you have missed the enjoyment of this game. Some of the antagonists quotes are truely hilarious in thier OTT delivery.

    A survival or wave defence mode on the different maps would have been cool tho!    … Expand

    Game of the year. Anything that puts SJWs into a crying fit, where their only venue for relief is mainstream gaming media review sites. This game is lovingly crafted and it shows from glorious start to fulfilling finish. Much more fun than any art-house game about walking or exploring a house.

    Good game i give it a 9.5, i was worried about it geting boring after 30 minutes, but it didn't, soundtrack is good, the game brings you different challenges each level, there some "side missions" where you have to mass kill people on a party, funerals, some guys hunting, and etc...

    The only bad things are the laggy fire and the terrible camera when you drive a Vehicle, but the cop cars    Good game i give it a 9.5, i was worried about it geting boring after 30 minutes, but it didn't, soundtrack is good, the game brings you different challenges each level, there some "side missions" where you have to mass kill people on a party, funerals, some guys hunting, and etc...

    It's a good game. It's a little difficult but it's fun to playing. The polemic is not founded. I give 9/10, I hope update will coming to improve experiment's game

    First of all, I don't care about controversy, I rate the game for what it is, a game.

    Graphics are pretty good, not ugly and not gorgeous, just what you would expect. The black and white filter make things a bit hard to see something. The physics is probably the best thing about this game. The destruction engine when you throw explosives around it impressive.

    Graphics are pretty good, not ugly and not gorgeous, just what you would expect. The black and white filter make things a bit hard to see something. The physics is probably the best thing about this game. The destruction engine when you throw explosives around it impressive. The objectives are rather simple (kill x people, kill people here), but still have some events. Game length is 7levels, which is acceptable. The biggest challenge of the game is managing your ammunitions (always short) and managing when to reload (that shotgun is too slow).

    People rating 0 because they think the game have nothing except controversy factor obviously did not play it. The shooting mechanism works perfectly, the cars are impresive in their handling. There's no apparent bugs and the performances/optimization is extremely good.

    Just edited my review after completing the game, the last few levels have an very good challenge and are very fun to play. The ending credit songs is awesome and just got them two extra points. Buy this game.    … Expand

    Hatred is better internet scandal than game. [Aug 2015]

    Hatred isn’t half as provocative as moralists claim: it doesn’t emphasize the act of aggression; it cares only about the number of victims. Executions are carried out with about as much emotion as stomping on a Goomba in Mario game. [Sept 2015, p.71]

    Not offensive enough to cause outcry, not good enough to warrant paying attention to. [Aug 2015, p.60]
