Hatred PC full game5/30/2023 ![]() ![]() Here, whether we set aside moral qualms or not, gunning down civilians in their hundreds has all the heft of popping bubblewrap, minus any of the raw satisfaction. Virtual murder can be fun and cathartic, with no convincing evidence that it contributes any more to real-world violence than getting too many squiggly Tetris pieces. ![]() (That doesn’t last, but while it does, it’s a clever conceit.) I’ll even make a case for the start of Postal 2, a mostly rancid game, but one with some good ideas, such as the way early violence actually is a choice – there’s nothing stopping you obeying the rules and standing in a boring queue to buy milk if you choose. Carmageddon and Quarantine were hilarious in their splattery cruelty. Plenty of excellent games have taken us into this territory before, but the charms of, say, Syndicate and GTA have always had little to do with their missions, and more to do with their sly, knowing humour. For those lucky enough to have missed the scandal, Hatred is about a really angy guy who wants to take revenge on humanity by shooting as many passers by and cops as possible. ![]() That’s not simply a sniffy knee-jerk dismissal based on the theme. Hatred is just a twin-stick shooter no more, no less.
