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.

This game is what happens when you are inspired by Postal but don't actually have any funny or insightful commentary on society. The protagonist probably isn't wrong, but, has nothing to say, no character, and there's no point in anything that happens in the game. Just senseless graphic violence. If that was the point, the developer - who knowingly has ties to Nazi groups and has been made into a pariah - is wrong and misses the point of most media violence.
Better w/Mouse+Keyboard or at least it seems easier. Some crashes and audio bugs which seem to be unfixable.
It's fun to kill time, story mode is alright and sidemissions are fun to do. Did not bother with other modes.
Enemies can shoot you from outside the screen but so can you.
I guess it's not that fun but not that bad.

Marketing based on outrage caused by a game that was based on mass-murdering civilians and police alike? Immoral by every sense of the word. And for what? A quick buck and for your names to be related to infamy. How distasteful. How INSULTING for all of those parents who have lost their loved ones to school shootings and to other mass-murdering maniacs. Believe me, I stand by artistic freedom. I stand by the right of any human to express themselves verbally and through art, but to have freedoms, one should not abuse them. Especially for monetary gain. I think it's something to be ashamed of. If you cannot open your heart to those who suffer and live in agony over the consequences of gun violence and mass-murder, then I pity you. Thís is my message, but despite it, I will be fair to this game in terms of the actual content and the quality of it. Hatred is a barebones top-down shooter outside of the shock value. You've got some distinct execution animations, a decent variety of weapons and destructible environments. And that's the best it can do. Everything else feels bland and hollow. As if there was nothing to this other than the previously mentioned shock value and utter disrespect towards humanity itself.
this game seems to take itself seriously but the whole process of murdering huge amounts of innocent people, cops and soldiers almost made me drop it halfway through. I mean the enemy ai is so outrageously stupid i had soldiers killing each other in the last level because they kept shooting !!
in general the combat system is so bad it doesn't feel good unless you "fight" defenseless npcs, which is nice as you will hardly see them towards the end of the game
It also makes you appreciate the silent protagonist trope as the only good line Mr. Not Important says is "hehehehe" during the ending cutscene of the first level
i find it hard to write about it because the game feels overall awful to play, the only positive that comes to mind is if you press the kick button while sprinting you perform a flying kick which can knock an enemy to the ground to then execute them, cool stuff
well at least i can think of it as condemnation of excessive violence for entertainment i guess because jod damn it sucked hard.
actually no the game is fairly short so yeah, could be worse, just don't put difficulty above easy lest you waste more time than necessary lol
edit: apparently there is also survival mode but i didn't touch it and don't plan to either

Nah I bought this game for three euros and played it for half an hour, just got my money back
It's pure "wooo look at me I hate people", but like in the edgiest, most nonsensical way posible
It's not even cool edginess
It's lame
This game is laaaaaame
The moment I saw that this game was created because the creator was disappointed by postal 2, I went and bought that instead
Because whatever disappointed him is definitely some good shit if this is his vision of a good game
This game is insensitive and isn't even interesting to play
It shouldn't exist
