I really don't understand the reactions to this game and it being super disturbing. Like yeah it's original premise is quite a bit more disturbing than what most gamers are used to, but upon playing the game it really isn't that bad in that respect. Since the game is mostly black and white, there isn't as much graphic detail in the kills. The executions are all quite fast too. I've seen much more gory kills in many other games though. Not to say that this game isn't violent, because it absolutely is, it's just there are more violent games out there. To me, this game is about as disturbing as you can get before ending up on a list. The only reason I would call this game more disturbing than something like GTA is because there you aren't encouraged to kill civilians, whereas here you are. My main gripes with this game come from it's gameplay. I'm not going to say the camera angle and control scheme hurt the gameplay too much, as it just takes a bit of getting used to. Or maybe it's just me trying to get used to PC gaming as a whole. Though, I would've definitely preferred this game to be a tactical third-person-shooter. The only reason this game becomes tactical is because of the absurd amount of enemies at some of the points, and the respawn system is a bit strange too. However, it was nice to play a reverse horror game like this. The main character in this game is terrifying. His hatred for all things human and blank attitude make him more scary than most horror villains, as well as the fact that this guy feels more real than a demon or ghost. Overall, an decent, surprisingly fun game with a lot of apparent flaws.
Portuguese & English review
Portuguese-
Hatred é dos piores jogos que já joguei em quesito história, já que ele se propõe a ter uma em vez de ser só um sandbox de matar tudo oq aparece à frente.
Gameplay? Não é das piores já que até pega uma boa ação de vista isométrica e com controlos funcionais. De resto é um jogo horrível, ele não tenta passar uma mensagem igual a Postal 1 ou os dois jogos de Manhunt. Os desenvolvedores simplesmente fala mata lá essas pessoas aí e o nosso jogo vai ficar famoso por causa de YouTuberzinhos a colocarem "Jogo mais Violento de sempre".
Horrível, mas gostei do estilo de imagem meio noir, a estética ganhou-me muito, mas for isso é perda de tempo.

Hatred is one of the worst games I've ever played in terms of story, since it aims to have one instead of just being a sandbox where you kill everything that comes your way.
Gameplay? It's not the worst as it even captures good action from an isometric view with functional controls. Otherwise it's a horrible game, it doesn't try to convey a message like Postal 1 or the two Manhunt games. The developers simply say kill these people and our game will become famous because of YouTubers posting "Most Violent Game Ever".
Horrible, but I liked the noir style of image, the aesthetics really appealed to me, but otherwise it's a waste of time.

- Poor graphics (It's hard to see anything)
- Terrible NPC AI (Innocents should be running away from me, not towards me)
- No story at all
- Clunky gameplay
- Bad respawning system
- Very bland and repetitive
It's fun for an hour or two but it gets repetitive really quick. I feel life the devs should have put a little more effort into this game. The gore concept was really interesting.
