Hatred

Back in 2015 I played the game to completion for my main (only at the time) YouTube channel, same as my name here. You know, "let's play" videos. It's a short game, few hours if you are an experienced gamer with action games. Don't let the camera angle fool you. The game is very dark and I am not talking about the brightness setting. It's very violent and very disturbing. Think of the Postal games, cranked to 11 and without the Postal humour. Well, most of it anyway. I enjoyed the game and I do believe that it is a good game. I would not recommend it for anyone who is too young or who is suffering from depression though. Yes even though I was (still am) suffering from deep depression while playing it. Because do as I say and not as I do and all that. Also I have to mention that the game was gorgeous. Is the game worth it? Absolutely. On sale of course, but even the full price here is low enough to make it worth while. Lot's of shooting, lot's of violence, not a happy game at all. I give it a 4/5 now, though I haven't played it in 11 years. I am not allowed to link to my let's play of it, so yeah, but hopefully this review gave you an idea.

Really brutal, really dumb. Wish GOG added to the modlist that FPS mod available in the Steam workshop, that one is awesome and has fps executions. Used to love replaying this game on the easiest setting to unwind. If you don't take it seriously - and you shouldn't given how stupid the whole premise of the game is - there is some fun to be had. Skip the cutscenes, put it on story mode, and have fun mowing down virtual people.

If you saw an article, review or gameplay of this game in the 12 years since its release, you already know what you will get, it's just a little isometric edgy shooter. It's so over the top that you can't take it seriously!

As there are mostly pointless reviews here that make this game's idea deeper than it really is, here is an actual and honest review: This game is a top down shooter with a short but action packed story where you get to shoot people with different weapons, grenades and use of enviromental elements such as exploading barrels. Controls are responsive and satisfying. No game breaking bugs. The gameplay is a run and gun experience where you have to keep killing to stay alive. There is no upgrade or RPG elements in this just plain good old shooting yourself frome level to level, which is really good when you just want to have some fun and not think to much about tactics and strategy. Goal is to kill people while progressing through the levels with the option of small side quests, while not getting yourself killed. It also features a "survival mode" where you get to survive waves of enemies with short buying rounds after each wave, similar to CoD Zombies, which I personally really enjoyed. The graphics and the atmosphere are impressive even by todays standards and they give just the right vibe for such a game. Acompanied by the soundtrack the whole package just feels right. Performance is smooth and fast so you can run it on older and less powerful systems while still maintainig good visuals. All in all a really fun experience if you like shooters and want a simple, not to complicated game to just go on a killing spree. Also it's an important milestone in shooting game history as this sparked a huge controversy back in the day about violence in video games. Many aspects of this game are way ahead of their time. You like shooters? This is basically a must-play. 100% recommended and thanks to GoG for preserving this!
