I Hate This Place

“I Hate This Place is a good adaptation of the comics for the virtual world, bringing faithful visuals, onomatopoeia for every character action, and an introduction to the comic universe. However, the game stumbles with imprecise aiming, a low variety of enemies, and an unengaging protagonist”

“A sorely underdeveloped, crafting-orientated survival horror game, whose neat comic book art style isn’t enough to compensate for sub-par combat and storytelling.”

“By the time the credits rolled, I was left feeling disappointed more than anything else. There is a good game buried in here. With tighter economy balancing, more meaningful survival systems, and enemies that are dangerous without being bullet sponges, I Hate This Place could have been an easy recommendation. Instead, it feels like a promising idea that loses confidence in itself halfway through.”

“I Hate This Place has a strong identity and some genuinely compelling ideas. Its early hours make effective use of sound, darkness, and isolation, and its visual style gives it a personality that’s hard to ignore. But the systems underneath don’t push back hard enough to sustain that tension. Survival becomes comfortable, and for a horror game, that’s just a shame and something I can’t ignore. I didn’t hate my time with I Hate This Place, but it could have been so much better.”

“Like a low-budget ’80s horror flick, I Hate This Place is all flash and no bang. Though it nails the vibe with its visuals and sound, rough voice acting aside, the gameplay is too shallow to hold up. After the early thrills fade, it’s mostly cheap jump scares without the depth to stay engaging.”

“I Hate This Place is still one of the most interesting independent horror movies I’ve seen in a while. It could be up there with the best games in its genre if it got some balance fixes and a bigger focus on challenge. As it stands, it’s a stylish, creepy, and often memorable trip that you should take, even if you don’t hate the place by the end.”

“I Hate This Place takes its time and asks you to meet it halfway. It’s not about constant action or big moments, but about moving carefully, reading situations, and letting the world do the talking. Some parts don’t hit as cleanly as they should, but the overall experience holds together because the game knows what kind of mood it’s aiming for. If you’re into slower horror that rewards patience and atmosphere, there’s a lot here that works.”

“With its comic book visual style, isometric viewpoint and focus on crafting, I Hate This Place is a unique entry in the survival horror genre. It's just a shame that it's let down by gameplay that feels rough around the edges and a lacklustre story.”

“I Hate This Place, as a game, is a great adaptation of the popular comics series. Fans of the comics will appreciate the story, but it’s also welcoming to newcomers. It may be rough around the edges, but it will keep players on their toes, test their patience, and force them to be resourceful. I Hate This Place shows great potential and is a true standout in the horror genre.”

“I Hate This Place has good ideas, but its execution misses the mark. A lacklustre story, not enough horror, and disjointed mechanics likely won't appeal to survival horror fans.”

“The game I Hate This Place has a lot of good ideas that never quite work out. The graphics are memorable, the idea behind the game is interesting, and some of the mechanics, like sound-based stealth and exploring at night, really show potential. But an unfocused story, bad combat, slow progression, and technical problems keep it from reaching its full promise.”

“I Hate This Place has an incredible setting and fun enough, if not all that impressive, survival and combat mechanics, but could do a better job of introducing players to its world and story. I think the game will certainly find an audience, and those players will likely find themselves drawn to the comic-book franchise the game is inspired by.”

“I Hate This Place gave me exactly what I want from survival horror: tension, ambience, and gameplay that keeps you hooked. The comic-book 80s look is a blast, and the soundtrack and environmental effects really elevate the mood. All in all, the experience comes together nicely and gives you a solid 8-hour horror trip.”

“I Hate This Place is a fun horror-lite game that's rarely startling, but always enjoyable.”

“I Hate This Place is a solid and recognisable horror game that stands out thanks to its strong visual identity and constantly oppressive atmosphere. It is not a game that focuses on action or spectacle, but on tension, survival and sensations. Some limitations in pacing and combat prevent the title from reaching higher levels, but the experience remains compelling and is especially recommended for those who enjoy slower, more reflective horror games.”

“I Hate This Place is full of interesting ideas and references to well-known horror stories. However, the technical state on PC is quite questionable, and various mechanics feel more like filler meant to artificially extend the playtime rather than provide real value.”

“I Hate This Place isn’t a bad indie game, but it’s a frustratingly uneven one, with strong atmosphere undercut by clunky mechanics and technical hiccups”

“There are some moments of greatness, especially in its stealth gameplay and paranormal environments, where the exciting nature of the survival horror genre shines through, but those moments are quickly fleeting. I do recommend I Hate This Place to survival horror fans if there is nothing else to play and they're on a budget, but I wouldn't go into this game expecting the next big thing.”
