    The best tactical game I've ever played. She is wonderful in every way. 10/10

    Unfortunately, since the few updates released by the T17, it's a different game. BAD GAME!

    New updates make the game easier and easier. This is not what veterans of the game expect.

    The current rating is 5/10 nothing more...

    I will change my rating if you fix the game

    If you know what to do and how to play this game can be very fun. Its pretty horrible tho on ps5 when there are 100 people fighting. You will learn how much a game can lag. I love the rest no battlepass etc just pure war and skill.

    The worst hit detection I have ever encountered in a video game. Invisible walls galore. Fences that block gunfire. Terrible movement and mantling, which will most of the time get you killed.

    It's like every design element in this game was designed to hinder the player and piss them off.

    Stay away from this cash grab trash.

    Dont expect a shooter. HLL is more of a first person strategy /coop game where players have to take roles and work together to claim territory and push the enemy back. Kills and deaths arent important. Certainly not for everyone. If you played Cod Vanguard and thought its a **** representation of WW2 ...HLL probably still isnt for you because you had fun with Cod gameplay.

    The large scale 50:50 battles are amazing, the maps are insanely huge, the sound design is great, and the game runs at native 4K 60fps with a very high draw distance which is very impressive for a pc port and really shows that the PS5 is still above high end pcs with proper game optimization.

    The community is great as well (if they talk lol). If you want a somewhat realistic next gen depiction of WW2 warfare you should give Hell Let Loose a try. 8/10    … Expand

    Very weak game. Constant artillery, extremely long respawn times. Try to act as super realisitic so you can't swim since all soldiers were m*rons but you can sprint forever. Sure!
    Huge disparity between factions. Germans have crap weapons compared to the others. When I see I have to play as a German, Instant Leave.

    Crap game. 1 point because the devs tried.

    If you expect this game to be COD or battlefield and go guns blazing all the time. You are not the person for this game. There is no feedback on if someone is killed, as in real life you would also not know. This is an 2nd World War game with realistic mechanics and its amazing if you have a team of players who are communicating with you. Not for the weak minded.

    Absolutely the best FPS of the year.
    The issue is... Will it be the best FPS of the decade?
    I think so!!!!!!!!!
    And looking forward to update 12.

    Wow! Once you get past the steep learning curve (do your homework on this one, it will pay off) you will find an incredibly immersive title that is leagues above any FPS out there.

    This game is seriously hot garbage. The enemy can somehow see you from 2 miles away regardless of what weapon they have but on my TV I can't see **** All mist and fog everywhere. The weapons are extremely hard to control. You don't know where you're getting shot from. The spawn points are ridiculously far from targets. This game is absolutely atrocious.. to snipe you gotta have a spotter.This game is seriously hot garbage.

This game is just unbelievably awful. To the people saying this is realistic? It's NOT. Even battlefield 2042 isn't as bad as this.… Expand

    Great game, very realistic. Before you start, watch some video's of the game on you tube. The first time I played it, within seconds my teammates shot me, not very welcoming, but that"s not the game, but not-so-nice teammates.

    There is quite a steep learning curve and this is not for your typical COD run and gun player. If you stick with it and give it a real good go, you’ll see how satisfying and excellent this game really is.    … Expand

    You have to learn this game on your own. The battlefield is brutal you won't get far without a team. So if youre a solo player maybe look somewhere else. You will die alot. Fun game but frustrating.

    Simply the best WW2 FPS of all time. Realistic yet accessible. If you're a WW2 buff or a fan of old-school hardcore Battlefield then Hell Let Loose is a must-buy. The most intense and chaotic online matches I've been apart of. The game makes you feel like you're in a scene from Band of Brothers or Saving Private Ryan. And playing with friends in a squad is such a blast.

    There's a slight learning curve but you can learn everything you need to know in 20 minutes from a youtube tutorial. I recommend monoespacial's tutorial videos.

    Game is plaqued by the devs own egotistical incompetence.

    You have not one but two respawn timers after each death. Have a commander that wont listen or overall sucks? Well congratulations there is no way to vote to remove them. Playing as a sniper which you rarely get to do an while you're racking up kills someone else joins then votes you out so they can hog the squad.

    Additionally you cannot swim at all nor really climb or mantel anything because they don't feel it is important.

    Want to cross a body of water good luck you're going to have to run all the hell away around it.

    Then you have issues with menus being bugged out, or not being able to use voice comms, a HUD that gets bugged as well so you can't see who is talking.

    Also at times the icon for your objective that you are to attack or defend also does not always pop up so you have to look at a **** map then try to zoom in on.

    This game suffers a lot from over thought UI options or controls an a lack of thought on what could make it enjoyable.

    If you play as a squad leader, sometimes the boice chat is fine other times you will have people scrwaming in your damn ear from all 3 channel options making impossible to hear anything from anyone so you then have to mute all the squad leaders an commander just to enjoy the game.

    They also don't seem to ban their most toxic players even after they team kill people or yell an scream an curse 24/7.

    The servers are also trash, at times they are fine others they lag like hell where you stutter when moving an literally have to stand still or walk extremely slowly just to move forward. I know 100% it is not my internet as I have a 1Gb internet connection in other games I have a 8 to 16 millisecond ping in their game its will average 80 to 140 100% of the time.

    This game could be great but with all of its bugs an problems an the toxicity of the players not being delt with I would tell you to not buy this or pick it up if it goes on sale, as I feel robbed by them for paying for this when it should of been free to play in its current state.

    I also do not see how anyone with 20 to 30 hours in game could give the game anything above a zero.

    Before I close I'd also like to note respawns are placed extremely far away from objectives making this a walking simulator, an that the collision doesn't seem to work most times as LMG gunners can often kill you while laying being rocks from a distance, and that if you suffer from any form of epilepsy do not buy this game as if you are getting shot at the screen shakes an will more than likely trigger you, as well as the fact that right now the game can barely reach 30 frames a second an often leaves a ghosting effect on the animations anytime you move.    … Expand

    Cod has gone so far from its roots it is unrecognizable to what hooked a generation. This has taken what I remember from late nights on my PC as a teenager playing cod 2, and improved them to where I wish cod went. I can not say enough good things about this. It is stunning from the graphics to the atmosphere, the sound. The mechanics are not original entirely but done so well.

    The game is fantastic. A mix between Company of Heroes, Battlefield( in its glory days) and Some Arma things. Far superior than most shooter games. I would say it is a simulator. BUT BE WARNED!!! You really need to learn it properly before rate it. I will give it a 9 because it needs proper tutorial( the one thats included is very bad).

    Fantastic game but does have a learning curve. Can’t Rambo across maps like COD nor do you get constantly sniped like Battlefield. Working together as a squad and as a whole team determined who wins matches not just KD which is a refreshing change to the FPS genre. Watch out, this is hardcore mode so 1-2 bullets will drop you. Highly recommend this game to anyone looking for a new game.

    Wanted to like this one so bad. At first people were saying you needed to find a server where people are communicating to enjoy the game. I ended up playing a few rounds on a server where people communicated and it was still boring. Needs a thorough tutorial and a number of bugs worked out. Map needs a lot of improvement. I dread opening it and navigating around it.

    This game has the most detailed maps I’ve ever seen! HLL is brutal, punishing, frustratingly fun. fun. The game has greatly improved since the beta. The games road map has my interest peaked. I got it for free on PS+. Will gladly pay for dlc’s. Indie game studio doing all the right things! No AAA gimmicky **** with Hell Let Loose!

    You've never experienced a true WW2 sim if you've never played this game. I finally decided to install this game without prior knowledge to what this game even is and all I can say is I'm hooked. Do yourself a favour and get this game NOW. I even quite BR games after this one.

    The premise (a WW2 FPS with an interest in realism and a limited HUD) is sound. But snipers have an unreasonable advantage over every other unit, and while communication is important to the experience, there’s no decent alternative to voice chat (which almost nobody uses). For a large-scale WW2 shooter, try Enlisted instead – it’s more fun and is free to play. [Issue#8, p.97]

    Caveats noted, playing Hell Let Loose with a decent squad of players willing to communicate, a competent commander, and skills sufficient to the moment is a unique, exciting, and extremely rewarding first-person shooter experience, ultimately much more satisfying than the arcade shooters to which most players are accustomed. Getting to the point of real comfort with the game’s mechanics, interface and team systems takes a commitment of time and the willingness to learn from others and the game’s written material, and is definitely not for everyone. Hell Let Loose does a great job of reminding us how important teamwork, communication, and reliance on others can be, not just in war but maybe in the broader context of our lives.

    Hell Let Loose does little to overcome the downsides of its realistic take on World War 2 and strategic gameplay, but manages to reap some rewards out of it as well.
