<p>Hell is Us, or HiU is set in a country devastated by civil war. Players follow a protagonist on a journey to uncover the truth about his past while facing otherworldly threats. These eerie creatures, resembling ancient monuments, are shrouded in mystery. Players will be armed with special weapons to defeat these horrors, making each encounter a strategic and satisfying challenge.</p>

<p>Despite not being branded a <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps5/best/soulslike/">soulslike</a>, its gameplay heavily relies on dodging and swinging giant weapons.</p> 

<p>The game’s standout features, apart from its energetic gameplay, are its unique design approach called ‘player-platerring.’ Unlike conventional games that provide detailed maps and quest markers, Hell is Us removes such aids. This encourages players to explore, think, and rely on their intuition to navigate its mysterious world. As a result, this makes Hell is Us a deeply immersive <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps5/best/adventure/">adventure</a>.</p>

<p>This ‘no hand holding’ design philosophy goes back to old-school adventure games, where exploration and puzzle-solving took center stage. For more information about this novelty, check out their exclusive PlayStation Blogpost here.</p> 

<p>Creative Director Jonathan Jacques-Belletête has also announced a follow-up event on September 30, inviting fans to tune into NACON’s YouTube channel at 5 p.m. CEST for an in-depth look at the game.</p> 

<p>Hell is Us is set to release in 2025 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. For more upcoming games, check out our <a href="https://whatoplay.com/post/upcoming-2025/">2025 Upcoming Games Release Schedule</a></p>
