    Душная игра с херовым управлением и плохо настроенной сложностью. Даже на легком после появления спецназа сложность возрастает в несколько раз, болваны тупо жирные и больно бьют. Сюжет примитивный, будто написан школьником-готом. Стилистика и специфика игры интересные (изза увиденных добиваний и купил игру), но их маловато оказалось, геймплей уныл и репетативен.Душная игра с херовым управлением и плохо настроенной сложностью.

    Pues no vale para nada. Me llamó mucho la atención cuando en su día lo anunciaron, por el morbo y el tema insano de masacrar inocentes sin discreción, pero más allá de los primeros minutos y la impresión inicial de encarnar a un psicópata asesino de masas, el juego es insulso y repetitivo.

    Simplemente vas avanzando por diferentes zonas con un objetivo numérico de individuos masacrados. A medida que vas matando aparecen oleadas de enemigos que son las fuerzas de seguridad, cada vez mejor armados y protegidos para acabar contigo. Lo que lo convierte en un twin stick shooter muy sencillo de masacre por oleadas. En este punto hay que comentar que el juego es solo parcialmente compatible con un game pad, por lo que tendrás que jugarlo con teclado y ratón y es impreciso hasta decir basta, por lo que de twin stick shooter, en realidad, es solo sobre el papel. Como gracia adicional en los diferentes niveles hay objetivos secundarios en los que encontrar nuevas armas, chalecos antibalas o puntos de respawn, que básicamente hacen las veces de vidas. Si terminas las vidas en una zona vuelves a empezar desde el principio con tu objetivo de masacre principal. Sin más, no tiene más.

    Hay gente que le recuerda a Postal. Un juego que en los noventa llamó mucho la atención por partir de una premisa similar a este. Por lo que, en mi opinión pierde el factor de innovación en su concepción argumental, es decir, ni siquiera es original, es una copia de un clásico. Por lo que… a no ser que te llamara la atención por que eres un pifiado de los videojuegos y te diera morbo su premisa y además lo encuentres a precio de derribo…. (yo no pagaría más de 2€ por esto) puedes ahorrártelo, no te va a aportar nada. Al menos nada que no se haya visto ya mejor hecho.    … Expand

    Then there's the story. Edgy isn't quite the right word to describe it. **** moronic is more what I like to say. It wants to appeal to those annoying **** that act as if everyone is a terrible person and we should just commit genocide because isn't that just such a mature, thought provoking, well thought out idea?

    Yeah you can not convince me that the devs of this game have ever had a normal conversation with another person outside of circle jerking with other edgy kids on **** about how much they hate the world.

    So **** gameplay paired with an insufferable, irritating story.

    Imagine you took the first Postal game and removed all the impact, thought, self awareness and substance, and you'd get this game.

    * it’s challenging game if you’re looking for one for a Under $10 this is a game for you * it has a lot of the same physics
    As The original postal form 1997 and postal redux form 2016 Cons * Bad consoles in the beginning it takes a while to get used to them * it focuses more on the violence then the story which I don’t like because I like the story but it makes the game more interesting
    * it has controller support which I like a lot but it feels really bad one playing the game on the controller I just recommend using the mouse and keyboard when playing this game Overall I give it a 6.5/10 because it is far from perfect and no game is perfect and destructive creations is making great games like IS Defense which I really enjoy a lot and Daymare 1998 which I heard it’s a good game and they are going to make and release next month is War Mongrels which I’m hyped about but I see why hatred got it I adults only but at the same time postal form 1997 got a m from the ESRB and I highly recommend the game at the end of the day because if you like poster you will love hatred    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Note. Not that it matters but.
    I live in Australia and it's unobtainable to get this game legally from steam cause it's banned in Australia. (Not that it's mention on the list of banned games in Australia wiki). I, however. Bought it from D.C's website when it was available for pre-order with a key on release. Moving on.

    What is HATRED?
    Take RWS's 1997 Postal and make it balls up the wall ultra-violent where your goal is to kill everyone in your way (than yourself), with close-up final blows, throat-slitting, and head stomping.

    If you like Postal, you might like this. Altho Postal2 is more of a black comedy, HATRED was made for shock value. And people were shocked.

    I've enjoyed this game. Finally a game, with over-the-top ultra-violence that no one asked for but needed.
    But it does sometimes get a little boring. And this is coming from a guy who has 500+ hours in Postal 2. What can I say? I like the mods people make.

    HATRED also has some mods. Some are great. Like 1.666.

    I play hatred now every once in a while. The last recorded time I played it was Oct 2020 so it was pretty recent.

    Do I recommend HATRED?
    Yes.

    Do I recommend paying full price?
    No, wait for a sale.    … Expand

    Many issues like low framerate, graphical glitches, execution glitches, terrible camera position, bad voice acting from the main character, and stupid AI hold it back from being really good.

    I get that they were going for a Postal style game here, with the camera locked in a overhead view. However, Postal did it because of how it was designed. This game could have easily been modified to be played in 3rd person. The main character sounds like someone trying to force themselves to act 'edgy', and 'threaten'. Why the AI runs back into the same house their buddy was just shot it destroys the whole point of people 'scared for their life.'

    Somethings are done right, like the environmental destruction, voicing acting of the civilians and executions, to a certain extend.

    One thing that was also blown way out of portion was the executions. They are supposed to be this gnarly showcase of dying in the worse possible way, but I've seen better, and even more gruesome executions in games like Manhunt 2, and The Punisher.

    Hatred can be enjoyable, but I find that the game is more of a publicity stunt, then an actual game.    … Expand

You go around killing - it's a twin-stick shooter, so what did you expect? HATRED is a very difficult game: you are constantly swarmed by enemies (cops shoot back, it takes place is the US and not the UK), most of which can shoot you before they come into view with dead eye precision. The only way to regain health is by performing an execution - but they trigger randomly and you have no influence on it.
    The gaming press ran the game down because it's politically incorrect (although in 2020 U.S. now that might change) and all victims are innocent. Unfortunately the press is incapable of disregarding politics (which is why THE LAST OF US II got all 100%s and 10 out of 10s and this has a 43 Metacritic score). HATRED is challenging and it is fun. Is it the greatest game ever made? Far from it. But for a twin-stick shooter - what can you expect? I love the art style in particular, far away from the bright neon colored comic book graphics as in DIABLO 3.

    I am convinced that, although a lot have been said about Hatred, one thing is certain: this is a video game we will always remember.

    I don't know what to think about Hatred's plot: I wondered before playing it, and I wonder even now after I completed it, what really pushed a man to cross the limit of tolerability and misanthropy to the point where The Antagonist pushed himself. The    I am convinced that, although a lot have been said about Hatred, one thing is certain: this is a video game we will always remember.

    I don't know what to think about Hatred's plot: I wondered before playing it, and I wonder even now after I completed it, what really pushed a man to cross the limit of tolerability and misanthropy to the point where The Antagonist pushed himself. The Antagonist's imaginary reference is clear: long hair, black trench coat, combat boots... and late 1990s don't seem that far anymore. But although aesthetic appearance, I don't think The Antagonist has much to share with a class or group of individuals. His hatred transcends ethnicity, gender and social status. He's too old to take refuge in teenage nihilism and has no problem in triggering an atomic explosion that will certainly kill those who dress and think like him, without discriminating anyone. No, it's not that easy to understand. And I wouldn't bet much on psychopathy, because if you think that you necessarily have to be a psychopath to kill people without batting an eyelid, obviously you've never heard about soldiers... or mobsters. I think that, in the end, in The Antagonist's heart, probably there is really room only for hatred and disgust. Simply this. Openness to interpretation and lack of information about the character's past and motivations have clearly been one of the strengths of the game's charm. That's for sure and it worked.

    So what works in Hatred's gameplay? The first element is the environmental destructibility, phenomenal to say the least: 90% of in-game structures are completely destructible. It's possible to literally open a gap, digging and demolishing layers of building's walls one after the other, with an heavy machine gun. And talking about shooting, it must be said that Hatred has very, very, solid and valid shoot 'em up mechanics. Aiming with shoulder allows to extend range of fire to hit the farthest targets. The game succeeds in being satisfying and fun, it hardly become monotonous if you don't die or repeat the same level too many times. The difficulty of the game is indeed quite high, even at standard level, especially in the second part when units of better armed and more aggressive enemies arrive. Performing executions – the only way to restore health – is not only satisfying, it becomes necessary. Strange how this latter merit have been exalted by only few: I mean it's a video game, what should be if not synonymous of good challenge? There are however things that are not good in Hatred. The movement, for example, both in contextual actions and in running or shooting is a bit woody. In most chaotic sections, it can generate problems, where freedom of movement and immediacy are essential. I liked the particular choice in the color scale, similar to Sin City's one, but it's true that it can confuse the player sight, bringing to highlight targets with red borders using a specific command. Sometimes, moreover, enemies' attack area tends to cover a too long range: literally, you can't see who is shooting you, even aiming with the shoulder. Driving system is just sketched and as the most liar game director in the industry would say: "It just works", but nothing more. A.I. is perhaps the most deficient side of the game: it happens that enemies remain to wait for the next move of the player, doing nothing, or that get stuck between walls, objects or doors. If solved these problems, the game would have really shine.

    To be an isometric game, Hatred really has nice visuals and makes good use of Unreal Engine 4, even with some great particle effects. I enjoyed the soundtrack – sometimes a bit metal, sometimes a bit dark ambient – and tracks like "Overkill" and "It's time".

    Finally, a final thought comes. The most common criticism to the game is: "It wants to be polemical, but it's not polemical" almost as if critics wanted to convince more themselves that those who read the review, almost as if they wanted to turn off a fire that, if evidently they wanted to turn off, it's because it was burning. And Hatred burned. The truth is that Hatred, in many cases, has not been evaluated for what it is: a video game. And let it be know – by me, a realist about today's video game reality, not interested in lying to you with pretended optimism – in the end Hatred didn't even remotely hurt the world of video games as much as the "casual revolution" did (Nintendo Wii, Wii Sports etc.), since 2005 symbol of what really ruined an entire industry, making it richer with cosmic void. Hatred has a reason to exist, so target centered, Destructive Creations. I prefer much more games like Hatred generating controversy because of extreme violence – and give a reason to failed attorneys like pitiful Jack Thompson to open their useless mouths – than games generating controversy because of damned microtransactions and predatory monetization practices.

Indeed, if you've played GTA, Saint's Row, or even Dishonored, you honestly won't find the death included in Hatred very interesting.

    Let's say you're not invested in the violence; what about game play? What you have is essentially an old-school top-down shooter/bullet hell. Is it new, flavorful, or innovative in any way? No, not really. If you're new to the genre then you may be able to extract some semblance of enjoyment from Hatred, but you're honestly better off just playing a free flash game online that has similar gameplay.

    It's clear that the dirty developers played up the controversy for sales, most likely knowing that the game would perform poorly if they didn't drum up some kind of gimmick. I will admit, it's current price tag of around $7.00 is a bit high, but not too far from unreasonable. If you must purchase the game, wait for a 50% off sale or just playing something else, except better.    … Expand

    Сказать, что Я не ждал выхода "Hatred" - сильно солгать, а лжецы умираю в мучениях. Чёрт, с самого анонса, с того самого трейлера меня заразил интерес к данной игрушке. И Я стал ждать релиза и новостей. А разработчики, по совместительству они же издатели, не то чтобы баловали громкими речами и прочим. И вот релиз настал.

Чёрт, с самого анонса, с того самого трейлера меня заразил интерес к данной игрушке. И Я стал ждать релиза и новостей. А разработчики, по совместительству они же издатели, не то чтобы баловали громкими речами и прочим. И вот релиз настал.

    Мне тут вспоминается кое-что, когда "Destructive Creations" в описании одного из трейлеров оставили строчку о том, что они собирались выпускать игру в мае, но из-за релиза "The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt" отложили релиз до начала следующего месяца, ибо будут ганять в Ведьмака. И, чёрт, это было немного даже забавно. И считаю, что не зря перенесли релиз. Ибо в моих глазах лето - это просто адское и ненавистное времечко и Я даже не знаю лучшего времен для выхода как не начало лета.

    И да игрушка очень неоднозначная. По-моему, игра вышла именно тем, что нам представляли и обещали в трейлерах. Ну вышло очень атмосферно, с очень простым и не особо изобретательным игровым процессом. На этом моменте до меня доходит чувство приятной ностальгии по стареньким топ-даун шутерам, аля "Alien Shooter" и "Zombie Shooter". Так вот, сегодняшний пациент не далеко ушел от них, ибо набор механик и приёмов не богат. Есть небольшая разрушаемость, графончика чуть-чуть, а так всё очень по-старому без интересных идей. Тут довольно уместны эти старые шутки про типичный польский геймдев. Однако меня в своё время порадовало, процесс довольно аркадный, динамичный и весёлый, воть.

    Стилистика, тут кое-что да есть, что в своё время и дало немалого ХАЙПА!. И тут дело вкусовщины. Мне зашло, ибо антураж и тематика меня порадовали, хоть они очень просты и без выдумки и цели, чисто для какого-то фона геймплею. Ни сюжета, ни интересной подачи, ни любопытных комментариев на тему или шока, увы. Визуал всё же клёвый и атмосферный. Картинка иногда очень красивая. Да, доля атмосферы тут имеется, она тоже зашла. Жестокость есть, в-первый раз она может и вызывает какую-ту эмоцию, но затем только скуку, ибо именно здесь динамика страдает от этой необходимости лечится расправами. И всё. Музыки вообще не помню, возможно её не было.

    И вырисовывается очень не взрачная картина. А Вы ждали другого, серьёзно? От молодой студии, которая состоит из таких же молодых энтузиастов, которые и игр до этого не делали? По мне, для первого проекта неплохо. Это мелкая не особо привлекательная и отполированная игра, собранная на коленке в подвале, которую вряд ли многие запомнят. Слабо, бессмысленно, порой весело, но не ужасно. И да, техническую сторону - у меня не было крашев или серьёзных багов, но были забавные ситуации, когда игра работала не так как должна была. Короче, в своё время мне было дико кайфово от стилистики, аркадного геймплеея и доли чувства ностальгии.    … Expand

    I played Hatred with an open mind, because this is a game and the only things that matter is gameplay, story and/or fun.

    Gameplay: Few actual mechanics to the game and most of them are poorly executed, as an example, camera angle makes it hard to gauge whether your enemy is within Line of Sight or if you are just looking into a wall/door. Aiming down sight moves your entire screen/cross-hair, which makes aiming for difficult and the increased precision is irrelevant.

    Storyline: Non-existent.

    Fun: The game takes the whole massacre thing way too seriously and unlike other games similar violence level, doesn't have anything else in it's favor other than random killing, which makes the game boring.

    Graphics: The atmosphere is appropriate to the setting however the animations are subpar.

    In conclusion, it seems that positive reviews rest on the single fact that 'killing is fun' in the game, but personally, killing just for killing without anything else (comedy factor, plot, etc) adding to it, is just boring.    … Expand

    Don't get me wrong, you can release your inner little psycho, which is awesome. But it's so repetitive, it doesn't even have a lot of missions or at least some different, like one in the desert against some bikers or in a little town in the middle of nowhere,
    no most of the missions are in some kinds of suburbs.
    You can also drive some vehicles, but all of them are kind of useless.

    More weapons would have been nice, or at least more ammunition for the special weapons like the flamethrowers.

    You can destroy literally every house and every object, it looks awesome due to the "over the top" physics for explosions, it has a better destroyable environment than some games which are promoted for exactly that feature.
    The game itself looks also pretty good, thanks to the Unreal Engine 4.

    The "666" joke in the last mission is not funny neither is the "16,66" price.
    The game is not worth "16,66", buy it for about "6,66".    … Expand

    It's fun for an hour or two but it gets repetitive really quick. Almost every level it's just "kill innocents"and then "kill cops/soldiers".

    Controversy aside (and the game isn't as bad as the media made it seem to be), it's just a boring top-down shooter with average gameplay and a pretty decent use of destruction physics.

    First and foremost, the low grade is not due to me being a finger-waggling and "oh how could you" spouting person who doesn't understand how mowing down rows of innocent bystanders could be fun. Quite the opposite, I was one of those that saw the trailers, saw the mowing down of people and went howling into the night how much I want it because it actually does look like fun. You know, fun?First and foremost, the low grade is not due to me being a finger-waggling and "oh how could you" spouting person who doesn't understand how mowing down rows of innocent bystanders could be fun. Quite the opposite, I was one of those that saw the trailers, saw the mowing down of people and went howling into the night how much I want it because it actually does look like fun. You know, fun? Remember that? What we used to play games for? Before it became a second job (like the MMO du jour) or an excuse for not doing our first one (like the Facebook timewaster games). Fun.

    And that's exactly what the game fails at. It makes mowing down innocent victims and bystanders who have done nothing wrong but getting out of bed in the morning and getting in the path of our antisocial protagonist at exactly the wrong time not only boring but a chore. That's a feat and a half if you think about it.

    Lemme be level here, it starts out ok. You start the game, you walk down the street, blazing guns mow down a couple dozen innocent victims. Nothing wrong so far, all fun and game, we're building character here... or wait, we don't. First of all, there is exactly zero emotional attachment to our protagonist. He's as blank as the average angsty goth teen (which is, I'd wager, coincidentally the target audience of the game, after all you SHOULD somehow identify with your character) whose outlook on life and the reaction he garners from anyone dealing with him is the same: A heartfelt MEH.

    There's simply no motivation. But that's fine, that's ok, hey, who needs a game to motivate you to mow down a dozen human beings or a score? Maybe your life or at least your day already gave you enough of a motivation for this and you doing it in a computer game is just your way of doing it in a socially halfway acceptable way. That's ok, that's cool.

    But, and that's the part where I get pissed off, the fatal flaw of the game, the one thing that (oddly, as it may sound) is the killer here, the part that constitutes the piece of poop in the Pringles can: Killing those people has a purpose. Yes, you heard me. I did say HAS a purpose. No, I did not forget to negate that. The very fact that killing those people has a purpose is the big letdown here for me.

    Allow me to elaborate how my antisocial, highly antagonistic and misanthropic mind works.

    The game rewards your killing sprees and mindless rampage with you regaining health from everyone you deliver from living to dead with the aid of highly accelerated metal spat from the tip of your gun. Why health you may ask. Well, the reason why you need health is the army of policemen, soldiers and whatever else one could think up to stop a ravaging madman from becoming the world record holder in the body-count category. And that's what pisses me off: I have to kill these people. It's not something I do because I wanna and because it's fun (remember, fun? Why we should play games?). Me going into that cafe and doing a pirouette on my toe-tips with the trigger firmly squeezed is not done so I get some cheap laugh out of people screaming and running for their lives and begging me not to find out how many bullets are needed to sever a limb of someone trying to avoid that. It's something I HAVE to do because outside the local police force made a picnic and found out that shooting stuff is fun and me giving them a good excuse to do it delights them so much that they have to spend their annual budget for bullets today and right now.

    And then it stops being fun. It starts being a requirement. A chore.

    And that takes away the fun of being a ravaging lunatic on a killing spree rampage. The whole point behind that being that you're god. You decide who gets to live and who gets to die. That's what makes mindless killing sprees fun. I liked your begging and groveling, mortal, you may live another day, begone now. But you over there, I didn't like your nose. Boom, headshot. See? Fun.

    That's not the case here. I cannot deliberately decide to NOT kill someone. That's the whole point of being "in control", of having "the power". Having a choice. You don't have that choice. And even if you had it, it doesn't matter. You simply don't get to care about the humans you kill. They lack any kind of personality, any kind of individuality, anything that makes them more than the million other "kill me for points" sprites that littered the screens of computer games since the times Space Invaders tried to kill your pixel tank. They're so interchangeable and bland. Nondescript. Can't we at least get a school class of kids so there would be at least a little bit of a hesitation? Well, not for me (being the antisocial bastard that I am, I'd go out of my way to kill them so they drop in an aesthetically pleasing way), but there are allegedly people who do care for kids enough to at least hesitate a moment before deciding that smaller targets just mean higher challenge.

    No pros. I give 2/10. 1 for actually working, 1 for the OK graphics and the credits music. Not my style of score but good to hear.
    Now the cons. 1 AO rating??? What for? The Postal games or Manhunt(1) were not AO and this do? Those games were violent as    Atrocious cesspool of cr@p! I preordered this, thought i’ll have a good violent AO rated fun in one of my favorite style, iso-shooter.
    No pros. I give 2/10. 1 for actually working, 1 for the OK graphics and the credits music. Not my style of score but good to hear.
    Now the cons.
    1 AO rating??? What for? The Postal games or Manhunt(1) were not AO and this do? Those games were violent as this or even much more. Except those were highly enjoyable. Hatred is practically Postal(1) with modern graphics and broken game mechanics, and extremly boring as well. Maybe the several kind of death? Absolutely no! Shots and headshots, some kicking, THAT’S ALL! Play Squishy the Pig or (poor) Eryi’s action for wide variety of deaths. Or Manhunt of course.
    2) Graphics are OK, as it’s the good old UE3. But the annoying under-contrasted black-white filter does not help. The idea is ok, but it’s somehow not works. Those night levels and the default white cross-hair made me insane. Many times simply lost the cross-hair, and took 10-20 seconds to find it again. Many time happened that i even did not see people on screen. Night levels and black suited civilians are fun to distinguish!
    3) Music is OK, and fortunately it’s not played ingame, that would be atrocious. The sounds, however terrible. Weapon sounds are like toy weapons. No dynamics at all. Human cries and shouts are extremly repetitive, and after 10 minutes you’d better mute. It’s not fun to hear the same monologues 20 times in a row.
    4) The weapons themselves are weak, inaccurate and unsatisfying. Even poor civilians need 2-3 bullets, but SWATs and soldiers swallow 1-2 full clips!!!! before they die. I’ve found the basic pistol to be the most usefull wep as it’s the most accurate (later why). The shotgun is absolutely useless in your hands. Melee range only, good on civilians, but against any other it’s a suicide. A soldier needs like 3 very close shotgun shots to die, and of course he will shot you in the time you do it. You will loose 50-75% (on easy) of your life in the progress, and there is nothing you can do to avoid. Of course in the hand of foe the shotgun is more than deadly (later why).
    5) Enemies shooting from outside of the screen. This is a joke! Any who enjoys this must be mentally deceased. And when i say outside i mean FAR outside, without any indications where the damage is coming from. The minuscule radar is your only source of information, but that’s just useless, beacuse it’s so small, and many times showing inaccurate positions. There is this right-click far-view mode, but that’s painfull to use, and must be exactly know where you wanna look (and shoot) at. Cannot be used for searching as it’s so fast and twitchy, that you’ll soon puke on the monitor.
    6) Of course the enemies accuracy is godly even from 2 screens away using shotguns. Your best choice to fight back from that distance is the pistol because of its accuracy. Don’t forget the whole game is about aimbot hitscans, so you cannot do too much to avoid damage, it’s all calculated by a random generator and it’s not on your side! Even easy is a joke. There is actually two ways to lessen the generator output. First the avoid move, good only for escaping, or the simple crouch. Crouch is fair as it lessens the damage to a level where you won’t die in 3 seconds and you can even shoot back. All good until a shotgunner comes in and sprinkle the area. Hurray!
    7) The game cheats as hell.There is no way to play hide and seek. Everyone (even civilians) see you through walls. No sneak attacks of any sort. If there is a pixel wide clear view between you and the foe they shoot. They shoot always first. A-L-W-A-Y-S! Funny, eh?
    8) There is no way to tell from the animations when someone is dying or simply hit and will recover soon. Somehow funny to see it on civilians, that after some death agony they cry and run away. But it’s more than deadly with the gunned crowd, when one is starting to shoot you from behind after you left him assuming he is dead.
    9) Healing is only possible through executions. Who to be executed is again a random generator output. Sounds fun in an AO game! Well it’s not! Tell me how to heal yourself when 7 SWATs around you, shooting precisely at you. Even with crouching your life decreasing fast, and when crouching you move like a slug, no way to escape or go to an ’executable’. Even if you somehow reach one (the generator loved you) and the timeframe is still on till it’s executable, so you push the button. . .and die. As execute animation done standing still, so no crouching bonus. Nuff.
    10) After a while i reached a level (still easy difficulty, don’t forget!) where in every minute 1-2 new car coming in with full squads of policemen and SWATs, INFINITELY. This is where i ragequit this abomination.
    11)Oh yes, DO NOT USE CARS! They are impossible to steer, and if been shot, it will explode in 3 seconds and you’ll die with it.

    I don't understand why so many claim that this game is the next Postal. That's just wrong. Postal's message was: the game is only as violent as the player is. It was very much possible to play Postal without decapitating people or urinating in their mouthes. Postal cleverly exposed its critics hyprocrisy, because the game was only horrific and controversial if the player played it that way. Hatred is completely different: it is entirely impossible to progress without playing sadistically. There is no clever message in Hatred.

Valve originally pulled it from Steam Greenlight only to have it reinstated the next day, whilst GOG.com refuse to actually distribute the game. So what is all the fuss about? The developer Destructive Creations touts Hatred as “an isometric shooter with disturbing atmosphere of mass killing, where the player takes the role of a cold blood antagonist, who is full of hatred for humanity”.

    “It’s a horror, but here YOU are the villain.”

    As you can see, the trailer revels in the antagonist’s massacre of civilians with much enthusiasm, and you would be forgiven for being reminded of Manhunt or Postal.

    The game does deal with quite a graphic and dark theme and it’s not for everyone, so for this review I am going to attempt to leave my morality at the door.

    I played Hatred using my preferred weapon of choice – a keyboard and mouse. Control wise, the game is pretty much what you would expect from an isometric view. W,A,S,D moves the player while the aiming reticule is provided by the mouse. Aiming in itself can be a little “hit and miss” (stop it) and this is mostly down to the camera. A fair few times I am being shot at from off screen with rather good accuracy. The player can combat this by aiming, which zooms the camera out slightly, however I found this to be a hindrance in some of the more hectic engagements as my aim is thrown off.

    The actual combat isn’t ground breaking but in itself feels solid, most of your civilian targets will attempt to flee and you will literally gun them down from behind and watch them fall to the floor. The police and eventually soldiers are much more aggressive towards you but do have a tendency to funnel towards you allowing you to dispatch them as they turn corners or move up. Occasionally they do flank you, or as I’ve also found some civilians will pick up dropped weapons and shoot you, something our protagonist certainly deserves.

    Other than the camera throwing you off when you aim, combat appears to have 2 other oddities. Firstly targets stood right next to you can have the reticule on their face and you will still miss and secondly crouching appears to mitigate a lot of damage in that the AI seems to miss a hell of a lot more.

You heard about this game by an article or a video accompanied by the words "A new massacre simulating and super offensive game is in development" or something in the lines of it.

HeLet's be honest. You heard about this game by an article or a video accompanied by the words "A new massacre simulating and super offensive game is in development" or something in the lines of it. To be honest, I've seen worse. The most gruesome thing that happens is when you blow someone's head off with a shotgun. The main protagonist has NO backstory, NO character and NO personality. He doesn't even have a name. The people in this game are basically there just to be killed. They might as well be dummies for you to shoot.
    The game itself is decent. But there are some flaws that make it pretty hard to recommend. Most of the time you will be shot by enemies that are off-screen, the execution animations will get boring pretty fast, cars can and will one-hit kill you, and on top of that cars take 3-4 shots to ignite.
    The missions, while fun and open, are repetitive. It's basically the same "Kill X people" thing over and over in different areas. Also, when you die, two things will happen:
    1: If you have respawn tokens, you will respawn close to where you were killed and all your progress in the mission will be saved
    2: If you don't have respawn tokens, you will start the mission all over again.
    How do you get respawn tokens? By completing side missions. Most of them are pretty easy and simple.
    One last thing. This game is not being offensive to pass a message, or even just for the sake of being offensive. It's offensive so it can get free advertisement. Rockstar did it with GTA too. I'm not saying that it's bad, im just pointing it out
    Overall, if you can look past all the flaws, it's a fun and enjoyable game. Probably even worth a seven or an eight if all the flaws are fixed.    … Expand

    Hatred is an average Isometric shooter. But the game could be longer and more diverse. It wasn't the shocker everyone wanted us to believe, it is not the anti-christ and it is definitely not the new Manhunt or anything like that. It did not evoke feelings of hate or sadism, all in all it was small and enjoyable. Kudos.

    Bunch of nerd adults laying their emotional issues on everyone via a video game. Pure "twitch nerd" negative emotional fodder from a classic pack of angry neo-nerds looking to show us their angst. A game for emotional dummies.

    It's an OK game. It doesn't have much content and it doesn't have much replay value. But it looks cool, it works fine, it's satisfying and the PhysX physics engine is very cool. It has some bugs but nothing critical.

    I want to point out that there's absolutely nothing in Hatred that would warrant for its AO rating. This is M or T at best when compared to the other similarly violent    It's an OK game.

    There isn't much story in the game. But I found it interesting to ponder what kind of events have caused the Hatred guy's milk spill over so badly.

    It's fun for what its worth. But get it from the Steam sale or something.    … Expand

    Horrible game, let me explain why:

    Graphics: 4/10, this is 2015, please try harder. Gameplay: no plot, no storyline, Ok I knew that going in, BUT ; It's not even fun, gets repetitive after the first 5 minutes. Getting shot offscreen, /golfclap. the FBI should plant trackers into the game and fish out all of the psychos playing it, any normal teen/adult won't enjoy this game after    Horrible game, let me explain why:

    Sadistic/ worthless game. /waste of time.    … 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]
