Hell Is Us Makes Getting Lost Worth It

A huge thanks to Nacon & Rogue Factor for providing a review copy of the game!

Step into the world of Hell is Us, the bold new action-adventure game from Rogue Factor. In this review, I break down everything you need to know about the game—from its haunting story and war-torn setting to its puzzle-driven exploration and unique combat system.

Hell is Us isn’t your typical open-world experience. There are no map markers, no quest logs, and no glowing waypoints. Instead, the game pushes you to rely on curiosity and observation, making every discovery feel earned. Along the way, you’ll uncover the conflict between the Palomists and the Sabinians, face the terrifying Hollow Walkers, and explore side objectives like Good Deeds, Mysteries, and Timeloops that give the world real weight and consequences.

Combat is equally distinct. With Lymbic Weapons infused with Terror, Rage, Grief, or Ecstasy, every encounter feels different. Parrying, dodging, glyph abilities, and your drone companion all play a role in keeping fights tense and rewarding.

Despite a rushed Act 3, Hell is Us is still a haunting, challenging, and unforgettable journey. If you’re looking for a sci-fi adventure that dares to do things differently, this game should be on your radar.
