    The game is bad. The controls on PS4 are bad. The story and voice acting are beyond cringe. The plot makes no sense - you do stupid stuff in a jungle and on your first day of survival you decide to... make some ayahuasca. Yay survival. That would kill you the first day from fluid loss. Beyond that part of the game is to eat every mushroom you see. Everything is needlessly complicated, theThe game is bad. The controls on PS4 are bad. The story and voice acting are beyond cringe.

Beyond that part of the game is to eat every mushroom you see. Everything is needlessly complicated, the graphics are bad and look at least 10 years old. On PS4 pro I got tons of clipping and screen tearing. Honestly there just wasn't anything I liked. There is nothing to look at, it all looks the same. No exploration pays off save for the random note or something. The save system is also atrocious and almost game-breaking. I've lost 2-3 hour chunks of play at a time because I didn't have time to build a shelter (the only way to save) because I was too busy dying from 15 other things. I played probably for 10 hours and only about 45 minutes of it ended up being saved because all my time was wasted. This would have been better if it was designed in the vein of a roguelike. But the game is bad and I regret buying it. I guess the immersion factor just isn't there whatsoever, as opposed to something like The Long Dark, which is a much, much better survival game.… Expand

    The developer doesn't care at all about console players. They haven't given a time table on when to expect the building update yet are working on multiple PC updates. Seriously pirate their game on PC & do not buy on console.

    This is probably the most boring game I’ve ever played. The graphics are not particularly nice and the controls sluggish. I’ve tried to get into it for about 10 hours now and I just find it uninspiring and as I say, just boring.

    If you want to be sick , buy this stupid game . After some hour of playing it never stops raining so you can’t make a fire … that’s only an example.. 100 more stupid bags are at this “game”

    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.

    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.

    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.
