82/100

Hell Let Loose is built for hardcore multiplayer shooter fans with a desire to move away from the casual and sometimes irrelevant teamwork that makes easier games well, easier. Hell Let Loose demands commitment, cooperation, and enough patience to learn the game through several hours of painful, frequent death and have a genuine willingness to contribute to a squad instead of being a lone hero. Meet these requirements and you’re in for a singular and memorable battlefield simulation.

Hell Let Loose could become a real hit amongst those looking for a bit more of a grounded experience than Call of Duty or Battlefield. However, the experience will rely heavily on the community engaging with each other positively to put plans together and make the experience authentic. Hell Let Loose is a game about teamwork and without it the chaos of war will overwhelm a player.

9/10

While it won’t appeal to every shooter fan out there, Hell Let Loose’s complex interplay of FPS action and real-time tactical planning rewards communication, coordination, and genuine leadership in a way few other games even attempt.

Bazimag	Sina Golabzade	8 / 10	08-06-2021	Hell Let Loose provides a very hardcore multiplayer experience that you really need to be a team player to have a chance at victory. The more time you invest in this title, the more you are provided with different ways to enjoy the ride.	Read review
Capsule Computers	Admir Brkic	8 / 10	08-01-2022	Hell Let Loose might just be of the most immersive and anxiety-inducing WWII shooters out there, with an insanely high learning curve.	Read review
COGconnected	Mark Steighner	82 / 100	10-15-2021	Hell Let Loose is built for hardcore multiplayer shooter fans with a desire to move away from the casual and sometimes irrelevant teamwork that makes easier games well, easier. Hell Let Loose demands commitment, cooperation, and enough patience to learn the game through several hours of painful, frequent death and have a genuine willingness to contribute to a squad instead of being a lone hero.

DualShockers	Kyle Knight	7.5 / 10	10-05-2021	So, as someone who has only ever played fast-paced arcade-style shooters, did I enjoy Hell Let Loose? At first, no. But as I played more matches I slowly became more invested in the fact that I was in a war, not a 15-minute multiplayer game. Hell Let Loose can often feel slow-paced and tedious, but if you’re a strategic thinker looking for rewarding and realistic gameplay, then this could be the game for you.	Read review
EGM	Michael Goroff	10 / 10	10-05-2021	Hell Let Loose is one of the most unique and fulfilling first-person shooter experiences that a console player can have. Its deep strategy metagame and intricate mechanics can be intimidating to new players, but if you stick with it and give it the time it needs, Hell Let Loose will reward you with emergent and unforgettable moments.	Read review
Everyeye.it	Giovanni Panzano	7.5 / 10	08-03-2021	Hell Let Loose is not a game for everyone and it is very likely that those who are only looking for a shooter set in the Second World War may not like it. It is in fact a product designed exclusively for a hardcore audience that is not afraid of the long times that elapse between one death and another and that cannot be categorized as a simple first-person shooter.	Read review
GameSkinny	Justin Koreis	7 / 10	10-12-2021	Hell Let Loose can be a nightmarishly opaque experience for beginners, but behind that rough intro is a deep and well-crafted military simulation game.	Read review
GameSpace	Mehrdad Khayyat	7.5 / 10	08-03-2021	Now, getting to the main question that you would probably ask: “Is Hell Let Loose worth the price?” Well, it depends. If you are a patient gamer against minor bugs and issues, and you love hardcore games, then you should get it. On the other hand, if you think you might not like the realism of the game or you don’t have any squads, then you’d better wait for a free weekend opportunity or a discount on the price.	Read review
GamingBolt	John Cantees	7 / 10	10-15-2021	Hell Let Loose does little to overcome the downsides of its realistic take on World War 2 and strategic gameplay, but manages to reap some rewards out of it as well.	Read review
Generación Xbox	JGBassols	7.5 / 10	10-18-2021	Hell Let Loose is a different approach to war games, with a slower pace than those of other popular franchises and an impressive level of realism.	Read review
Hey Poor Player	Shane Boyle	4 / 5 stars	10-11-2021	Whilst intimidating and unwelcoming, Hell Let Loose is an intoxicating experience for those who welcome a battlefield where death has consequences, and communication is key to survival. If you can round up a group of friends all willing to persevere with the steep learning curve, and who don’t mind dedicating entire evenings to a few matches, prepare to be engrossed for hours on end.	Read review
IGN Italy	Angelo Bianco	8 / 10	10-13-2021	Hell Let Loose is one of the best WWII shooters, certainly not suitable for everyone due to his hardcore gameplay but still rewarding if played with the right collaborative spirit.	Read review
Jump Dash Roll	Derek Johnson	5 / 10	07-30-2021	Hell Let Loose could’ve been a great game, but because its maps are too big and its community is too upsetting, anyone looking to experience the hell of World War 2 should look elsewhere.	Read review
Oyungezer Online	Yasin İlgün	8 / 10	09-30-2021	There is no alternative to Hell Let Loose(that is set during WWII at least). With its well-thought-out communication systems, tactics, strategies and combat mechanics, it is a must have for military simulator lovers.	Read review
PC Gamer	Morgan Park	70 / 100	09-09-2021	Hell Let Loose is a fun and accessible introduction to milsims, but I miss the complexity.	Read review
PCGamesN	Ian Boudreau	9 / 10	07-23-2021	While it won’t appeal to every shooter fan out there, Hell Let Loose’s complex interplay of FPS action and real-time tactical planning rewards communication, coordination, and genuine leadership in a way few other games even attempt.	Read review
Rapid Reviews UK	Joshua Callaghan	4 / 5 stars	08-26-2021	Strategise before taking to the battlefield in the WW2 shooter Hell Let Loose. But should you enlist to play this 50 v 50 multiplayer experience? Find out in this Rapid Review.	Read review
Screen Rant	Joseph Fonseca	4 / 5 stars	07-26-2021	If players are looking for a quick fix of World War Two shooting action, then Hell Let Loose won’t be for them. The pace, length, and harsh combat conditions dictate that players dedicate themselves to teamwork and victory. If players are willing to communicate over voice, work together to achieve local and broader objectives, and have the patience to play slowly, Hell Let Loose can be amazing. It may not happen every session, but a full game of Hell Let Loose with a dedicated, communicative teams is a must-experience gaming moment for any fans of tactical shooters.	Read review
SECTOR.sk	Peter Dragula	8 / 10	07-27-2021	Realistic multiplayer war action with hardcore gameplay and very important teamplay. Not capable for lone wolf or weak soldiers.	Read review
The Games Machine	Alessandro Alosi	8.4 / 10	07-26-2021	Although Hell Let Loose can undoubtedly be improved in some aspects, the prerequisites for long-time fun are all there, as long as you’re looking for a war simulator full of immersion, action, strategy and collaboration. Black Matter’s WWII is harsh and unforgiving, but also stunning in its depiction of war.	Read review
TheSixthAxis	Aran Suddi	7 / 10	10-05-2021	Hell Let Loose could become a real hit amongst those looking for a bit more of a grounded experience than Call of Duty or Battlefield.

ThisGenGaming	Justin Oneil	7.5 / 10	10-25-2021	Hell Let Loose is a different type of shooter from what most players will expect but one that is rewarding so long as you have proper teamwork. When you are on a team that is properly communicating and coordinating the feeling you get from this game is awesome. On the other hand, when you aren’t on one of those teams it can make it very easy to want to jump ship into one of the many other shooters available.	Read review
