    I’ll be playing Green Hell for a long time to come. With multiple modes, including multiplayer options and different difficulty settings, there’s a lot of fun to be had here. Its world is beautiful, albeit a bit rough around the edges. But I can’t imagine it’ll be long before we see things fixed up. It’s not like the bar has been set very high, but for what it’s worth, Green Hell is the best survival game I’ve ever played.

    Combining the environmental realism with unforgiving yet eventually approachable survival mechanics makes Green Hell an incredibly immersive experience. There were times when the constantly depleting health and stamina bars urged me to restart a save, but perseverance felt as integral to the experience as the mechanics causing my pain.

    Green Hell is a surprisingly great game which has exceptional depth in its mechanics, an immaculately detailed and immersive world to explore (and die in), with a story that has absolutely no right to be as fantastic and deep as it is. With a wealth of options in modes and difficulty settings, wannabe survivalists will be hard pressed to find a deeper, more rewarding experience. Despite some minor technical flaws and a punishing opening, Green Hell is a game fully deserving of your time and investment.

    A different kind of survival sandbox, Green Hell's anchoring in a contemporary place together with its narrative help to separate it from its more aimless seeming brethren. Though some additional polish is required, Green Hell nonetheless is still one of the better survival sandbox experiences to come along in a good while.

    Green Hell is a console port that unfortunately does not manage to rival its PC counterpart. What can accomplish is to stand out from the relentless wave of survival games, as a title with personality, with both perks and flaws. The gameplay manages to keep its edge, but the challenges are even more frustrating because of the technical issues. If you are in your element when facing impossible odds, Green Hell is right up your alley. The abuse on players is relentless and creates an almost Stockholm syndrome-like experience. All the survival enthusiasts will keep coming back for more and more punishment.

    Despite this port missing the mark with optimization, Green Hell still stands tall among its contemporaries as one of the better recent games of its sort while also pulling off a compelling story.

    While the gameplay had its fun moments and it didn’t make me rage quit even once, the saving system (or lack thereof) really put a wrench in the overall experience. Green Hell is the best survival game I’ve played, but let’s be honest, the bar isn’t all that high and it’s like the best house on a bad block.

    This game could have been excellent, but was let down by frustrating menu systems and controls.
    I'm a fan of survival/open world games, and    This game could have been excellent, but was let down by frustrating menu systems and controls.
    I'm a fan of survival/open world games, and extreme difficulty levels. Overall, Green Hell just about scrapes by into 'good'.

    The menu interfaces are Red Dead style, which I detested. It's simple enough to have a button to open a menu, and then select something. Instead you have that awful system of hold this button, then press that button, then move the cursor, then release one of the buttons while keeping the direction pressed, and then etc. etc.
    Prompts and displays regarding controls are inconsistent, and sometimes absent (for example, dropping something out of the backpack onto the floor is done by selecting it and then the button indicated as 'quit' rather than there being a 'drop' option!). And they can subtly change without obvious notice - I actually had a ragequit when I selected aim, thinking I would chop my machete with precision. No, instead I hurled it far off into the undergrowth and couldn't find it again.
    It took a long time to figure out things that should have been quick, easy and intuitive.

    However, everything else is solid - Lovely visuals and atmosphere, good characterisation and voice acting, and a good level of challenge. I was motivated to see where the story progressed.

    TLDR : It's a great game, but only if you have a large amount of patience with awful menu systems and controls.    … Expand
