This week on Critical Arcade, Dave and Nick step into the desolate, war-torn world of Hell is Us. Set in a country ripped apart by years of civil strife and buried secrets, the game forces them to navigate a landscape where danger comes from both sides of the battlefield: hostile soldiers with guns and terrifying supernatural abominations with… well, whatever those fleshy nightmare appendages are supposed to be. With no map markers, no glowing quest logs, and no convenient “go here” arrows, every direction could lead to either salvation or something that wants to chew their faces off.
In their search for truth, Dave and Nick must wield nothing more than a glowing arsenal that feels straight out of a heavy metal album cover and a drone that somehow manages to be both extremely useful and completely annoying at the same time. As they delve deeper into the ruins of a forgotten society, they’ll uncover the haunting scars of war and the chilling reality of what happens when humanity’s darkest impulses manifest as living horrors.
Will Dave finally learn to stop scaring himself by triggering combat music when nothing’s there? And will Nick ever get over the fact that you can’t just talk your way out of being eaten by a monster?
One thing’s for certain: in Hell is Us, there are no easy answers, no clear paths, and no safety nets. Just two guys, a haunted country, and way too many things lurking in the shadows.
