- After clocking almost 100 hours in-game, I'm beyond excited to finally share my thoughts and review of Hell Let Loose - The hardcore WWII shooter from Black Matter - and to tell you why you should ALL be playing it.

When a game comes along that knows who they are - and are PROUD OF IT - and don't care what YOU think about it...I'm happy to spend my time on this planet praising them. Regardless of whether or not they were made for me, or with me in mind.
Enter: Hell Let Loose
This game is UNFORGIVING, UNRELENTING PUNISHMENT - and unapologetic about it. If you don't play by it's rules, you're gonna have a hard time. It commands respect - and asks a lot from you as a player, but if you submit to it, find a good squad, and climb your way up it's STEEP learning curve, you'll find yourself on the top of one of the most exhilarating experiences in gaming. Sometimes... - เกม

Couldn't have said it better myself :D
See You On the Battlefield.
That “only returning fire” is so concise and effective!
It’s nice to see new blood try out the game! Would love to play with you some time.
The man himself. o7
People like you make this Game perfect for me. Best Community i ever experienced. Im playing for 3 Weeks now. Still a ton of stuff to learn.
Played a squad with this guy right here as well for one of my first games. Completely sold me on the game. Thanks for the fun times Mechanic!!
That opening line. "Its better to make something that's amazing for some people, than something that's alright for everybody" is perhaps the most perfect analogy of the current AAA line up I have ever heard.
Would you mind helping out a newbie in the next week or so?
I remember one time me and my squad got caught deep behind enemy lines trying to flank. Everyone was killed except for me, hiding in a bush. I'm a huge fan and player of horror games, and let me tell you, that moment of being stranded deep behind enemy lines, completely isolated and alone from any friendly help, was some of the unironic scariest shit I've experienced in a game.
I had a reverse game where I had my squad spend the whole game behind our lines, they never attacked the point head on they kept trying to flank it, we took down like 8 garrisons and a dozen supply drops
I played a 1 life event in HLL and I actually felt like this was happening irl. I made a friend in the start, I was a sniper and he was my spotter. We had an amazing long life both of us, but sadly, he was shot in the head right infront of me. I legit got like tears in my eyes bc we got so connected and we both knew we only had 1 life and everything felt so fcking real. I survived the war in that event but I will never forget how good of a solider he was. Awesome game
Love it! Great story!
Love it that’s dope
How do you get into the event like that?
You sound so sad. PTSD sad 😥
"And then I went to play the game. 10/10, revived my PTSD"
I bought a next gen console just to play this game and couldn’t be happier. This really is the WW2 shooter we have waited for from large companies for years and these devs hit it spot on and are dedicated to making sure it’s the most immersive WW2 experience possible. We don’t get games like this on console but the community that’s growing there loves it
Glad to hear its picking up on console!
I love it too and it was a great decision on Sony's part to make this game a free PS Plus title in October. I think that helped the game's growing community on PS5.
Me too mate. Used to play Allied Assault back in the day on PC nothing has come close to that until now. HLL is my all time favourite game.
I actually bought the Xbox version to support the dev team. I don’t have an Xbox. I play on pc. This is how great the game is.
@@ketle369 oh wow! That’s serious support you’re showing there mate!
The Headshot Ding is easily one of the best design decisions in this game, im surprised the added it, but man am i glad they did
Yeah they don't like giving the player too much info, but I think the ding is a fitting "congratulations on a good shot"
straight out of rising storm 2: vietnam
Even the body shots have a very satisfying sound, I can only imagine its a bit like what an actual bullet to flesh might sound like. Bit concerned that I like this sound and thats what I think it is!
Very reminiscent of Medal of Honor
post scriptum also has a really crispy dink when you HS someone
Got over 500 hours in HLL and I can confirm the devs and the community is what turns this game from a Good game to a great game. I feel a sense of honour seeing this game prosper as someone who's played it since the beta.
Got 200 hours on it and has become an addiction, but yeah its a good game, when i started, the second game i was in was actually fun because the officer was more patient with my bs as an engie and taught me how to play as a team rather than going alone
@@pp-jf2dw Same bro my first game as a automatic rifleman everyone in my squad was pretty quiet and I was just trying to get in gunfights and get a feel but my 2nd session I was a spotter and my sniper helped me understand a lot of things.
Plus I heard the comms from my leadership and that really helped me understand what was happening overall
@@TellTheNations you learn as you go on
This game is officially the reason I'm saving up for a next gen console. I cannot wait to be a part of this community, halving only one other online gaming community experience with RDR2 online and all the disappointment that went with that. See ya when my ship comes in 🎉
playerbase seems a bit too serious with the RP. Game looks awesome but military/history buffs are always annoying. Thats fine though, Its not a casual game I guess
I died constantly for 3 straight days... now I can actually watch, listen to my squad, and down some guys..slowly getting better the more I play and the more I look and listen to what’s going on around me.. my wife hates when I play this game because I tune everything and everyone out except for this game... that’s how immersive it is
I was playing sniper last night, I finally got a good spotter with a mic. This was a 1st for me. 3/4 through the match, my spotter informed me that commander said we were the best damn recon unit he's ever seen. All it took was a teammate who had a mic. Communication is absolutely vital in this game. If you don't have a mic, your no good for the team. The spotter and I were setting up flank points, and building garrisons. There were small moments of resistance, but ultimately, being part of a unit that communicates, was the key here, and our entire army pretty much dominated the game because of this.
Had similar experience the other day. A good recon squad can keep the team updated with intel that shapes the battle.
A good sniper squad and a commander that drops supplies can be a gamechanger for a team. Also getting a sweet spot as a sniper is one of the most satisfying things in HHL or even shooters ever ^^.
I revived 30 people in one match without a mic. You don't necessarily need one for specific classes. They should add some communication menus like insurgency, Battlefield or Verdun has.
Yeah in games like Squad, Project Reality and Post Scriptum mics are absolutely fundamental and should be mandatory
Wish I had a mic but mine broke. Can I still play semi-effectively?
I have never watched a review that has made me pause, purchase a game, and then eagerly return to watch the rest while I wait for the download to finish only growing more excited to play with each minute
What a compliment! I’m curious to know the moment that you paused!
@@Bullet. right about 7:17 after you talking about the covering fire, hitting the deck, and having to unlearn 10 years of FPS habits, sold me for sure!
@@Bullet. very well made video!!!
@@ArthurBarnhart welcome to the community!!! Hope you're enjoying it!
Dude that sounds awesome!! Can't wait to play this next Friday. Hell, I might take a few bucks out of my savings account to play it this weekend. Only problem is I don't have a headset yet for my PS5.
So I've tried the officer role yesterday. First 10 hours I own this game. Was overwhelmed, did my best, talked to the boss. I got 3 leadership accolades from people. I did shit, so I imagine it's them keeping up my morale. Sign of a legendary community imo.
You're never useless in HLL when using a mic. Relaying information to the other soldiers, squadmates, NCO's and Commanders is of utmost importance in this game. You helped your team along in a way you can't imagine. Keep playing. Keep fighting. And keep up the war.
Try Comannder.... then prepare to be hated no matter what you do because nothing is ever good enough if you're losing.... if you're winning everyone is fawning over you!
i'm terrible at the actual fps part of tactical shooters like this, but I end up being squad lead alot because herding cats is something I can do lmao
I absolutely hate when brand new players go SL or Command.
@@watermelonhead6525 you have to give everyone the chance to check out these roles and give them the possibility to learn how to use them. The learning curve is quite steep and every first time SL or commander makes mistakes. However I agree that both roles should be locked at a certain level. This to ensure that you as a player at least understand the very basics of the game. I'd personally make the requirement for SL level 50 and commander 100.
Hell let loose is one of those fantastic experiences you only had back in the day as a child. When there were pioneer games like half life and every studio tried to deliver something even better than you wanted. I absolutely love this game. Especially because every game plays out different. You can play one map over and over again and there will always be different tactics and funny moments, given by its superb class system. And GOD is this game satisfying when you work together and people know what to do. Playing as antitank with satchel bomb, crawling through high grass towards that tiger tank that brutally killed dozens of your mates and keps doing so, placing the bomb on the back side of it, screaming into your mike "get away from that taaank!!!".... and seing it blow up in the most realistic explosion animation in games today, blasting dirt and dust into the air, while your mates are happily shouting out to your effort..... there is just no game like this and i love that i can play it.
Totally agree!
Absolutely!!
The cheers on the voicechat when somebody takes out a tank are a great aspect of this game! Love it!
Best thing is: If you have played 100 hours, you haven't even started. There is just so much to learn. However, if you have to walk for 10 minutes straight as a regular infantryman, chances are your team does not supply enough spawn points.
Or you are flanking wide to build a new spawn aka garrison.
As long as the first 100 hours are fun.
10 minutes walk... Laughs in Arma 3
Bang on mate, I've got 2,700 hours and you just keep learning and improving, whether that be your leadership, the meta, how to communicate better or just your gunplay-- it's an amazing game.
I've been playing online FPS since 2001 and HLL stands as one of the best.
I've played this game for 7 months now, yet I still feel the urge to comeback to this video every couple of weeks. One of the best reviews ever. Watching this makes me wanna quit my job and just play it!
Hands down the best game review I've ever seen. I took me all of 2 minutes to buy the game afterwards. I'm 40 hours in and this review is so accurate. Thank you Bulletproof BB
Pure poetry. I watched this review 3 times today, and I think I have never watched a complete game review from start to end up to this day. The best game review for the best shooter out there.
I have 400 hours into this on PC and it's by far the best and most enjoyable mil-sim I've played this decade. I have maxed out Commander and Squad Leader rolls and you really hit when you said if you get the right squad, this game is magical. I once played 1.5 hrs of a match with my squad where all we did was hunt down the enemy attack positions and spawns. Advancing through the woods, calling directions of fire, bounding with suppressing fire, etc was a wonderful experience and everyone in my squad commented on how much fun it was. We didn't do anything flashy, we didn't cap the objectives, just contributed a small part of the larger picture in ensuring our team could focus on their roles in game.
How long are the matches? Is there any progression system?
@@thebellbrothers3279 matches end when a team captures all the objectives, or 1 hour 30 deadline, and another game mode called offensive is the same with one team defending all objectives and another attacking all objectives and each cap has a 30 minute deadline (so 2 hours 30 minute deadline, 5 caps total). the progression system unlocks new kits for the role you are playing and you unlock cosmetics.
@@TheRealTaco Yeah in the meantime I bought the game. Played as a medic. My highest number of revives was 40 I think. I'm trying to get Desmond Doss achievement. Or was trying. I'm not playing the game currently but I'm planning on the near future.
@@thebellbrothers3279 I got that achievement a couple weeks ago, best idea is to play pistol medic on an offensive map where you are the defending team, I got like 80 revives in those 30 minutes.
As a reluctant squad leader (I'm a level 41, I only go SL when no one else wants to) I've never been so stressed as when I was completely floored in a trench while bullets whizzed past, my commander was giving me orders I couldn't hear, my squad was asking me for a ping, and people in my vicinity were scrambling to find the elusive enemy. Matches like that get my blood pumping
I've had what I call 'Gamer ADD' as long as I can remember, hopping from one game to the next. I've stuck with HLL as my main game for 3 months now. I've went from the 'FNG' that was a detriment to my team to a competent squad leader that enjoys helping the new guys. This game has given me some of my most exhilarating moments in gaming...... I'll never forget the time my Stuart tank squad (2 random internet strangers) got into a duel with a tiger, damaged the turret on the tiger, and managed to destroy the tiger after a couple of intense moments of circling and flanking before we finally got a lucky couple of shots. You're doing yourself a disfavor by not at least trying the game, it will bring you some of the most intense moments in gaming you can have.
Bro I have gamer ADD too have had it since I started working and could buy games whenever I liked. I actually refunded this game after 3 matches because I didn't like it and my pc was struggling.
Then I started seeing youtube videos pop up about this game and thought fuck it I'm going to upgrade my pc and give it another go.
250 hours in and Im hooked Ive even started playing commander its so much fun!
Wow. Seriously, how does this video not have hundreds of thousands of views. The way this video teeters between review, video essay, and storytelling is absolutely beautiful. This video does the game's massive and cinematic feel so much justice. Great writing and choice of clips. I was seriously shocked when I saw you only had 320 subscribers. Say hello to your 321st subscriber.
Ill tell you why: because this game is not woke, marxist, eu abiding trash
Now it has 100k+ views. Well deserved!
Because the guy who made it is well over the top it’s cringe worthy
@@terminator4974 😐🤦
easily one of the best reviews of a game ever and the fact that is about one of the best shooters ever makes it even better. Thanks for the great content dude
This review convinced me to spend the $40 for this game, and in only one day of playing, I can confidently say it was $40 well spent. Never have I been so captivated by a game, and by its community.
You want to know what the first game was like? I’ll tell you: I’m on that overcast map with the rivers and flooded plains. (I’m forgetting the name of it.) My squad is downright excited when I tell them it’s my very first game. We spot some Germans, I get killed a couple times, but my teammates know where the enemy is and immediately gun them down. Our anti-tank guy takes out a tank that’s driving by, unaware of our presence, and blows it up in two rockets before they can retaliate.
And then, the big moment: I’m walking along an open field with my squad, a flooded plain with gunshots in the far distance. We’ve been told by command to establish a garrison on the opposite side of the map from where we were. I’m walking, I turn around, and I’m staring down the barrel of…a Browning. Me and my squadmate laugh before we’re informed of an incoming airhead. I didn’t know what that was, but they were pretty on edge. Luckily, a nearby Sherman is here, and we can just blow it up. One of our riflemen approaches the now landed airhead, and yells to the tank to blow it up…AND THEN LIKE 20 GUYS SPAWN. I don’t have time to yell “OH SHIT!!!” I have to keep firing. In what was probably five seconds, our machine gunner shoots into the crowd, I manage to hit literally nobody with my Garand, the tank takes one shot and blows anyone left to chunks of meat, and the guy who took point is somehow still alive.
I love this game. Thank you for making this and showing how great it could be.
My best play I ever made was when I was on the map foy as the Germans. I had joined a match that had captured the middle objective and the American team wanted it back badly, me unlocking the MG42 I wanted to test out. I don't know if it was sheer luck or just good placement but only thing I can remember was just constantly mowing Americans down, screaming for ammo, and moving from one side of a small shed back to the side I was on a few seconds earlier. That match will forever be etched into my memory

One of the best & most honest reviews i’ve seen for any game, you’ve earned a sub & deserve much more. I have 1500 hours into this game and it’s unlike any other. Welcome to the community, see you on the battlefield - Kao
Thank you, that means a lot!
You have 1500 hours! Dang
Such a fantastic review and video. Probably the best rundown on how the game makes one feel where as other reviews focus on other things. This video will help sell the game. I hope you don't mind if I share this video on my channel. I'm also going to try and get the devs to highlight it in an upcoming dev brief. Top notch and thanks! 🍻
I don't mind at all!! Thank you so much!
Yep i like thererfore is good. Also its an aus company cannot get any better
@@Bullet. my mic doesn't work sometimes ;_;
This may be one of the best game reviews ever. You captured the essence of this game - and the state of the whole genre - flawlessly. Subscribed!
Thank you so much!!
I remember being 18 years old, playing COD united offensive and WISHING that there was a game out there like Hell Let Loose. One where I could be killed in one bullet and still have fun coordinating with my squad. Some of my favorite gaming moments have happened during my time playing this game.
Extremely well put together video. You set the bar extremely high, this is phenomenal.
Thank you for your kinds words!
What a fabulous review mate, I've been playing HLL for 2 years and this is by far the best review I've come across.
You really captured the mental side of the game, it can be really rough when you die over and over, you might try to capture a point for 40 mins and it can suck, but...once your Squad breaks through the comms go wild and everyone feels such a sense of accomplishment.
One of the best things about this game is you DON'T have to be a fantastic shooter you just need clear, constant communication and the willingness to work as a team-- that will get you through!
I have 1500+ hours, play competitively, and make tips and tricks videos for this game.
I still learn new things every single day of playing this game. The steep learning curve is both the reason why this game is so hard for new players, but also what makes an absolute amazing community and maintains a highly skilled playerbase.
Absolute awesome review BB, keep up the good work, this definetly got me to subscribe to you.
Honestly I kinda want to get into competitive hll, I play almost exclusively as a sl (and usually have one of if not the best squad on the team) and while I doubt I’m good enough to be a competitive sl I think I could probably do a normal infantry role I just don’t have the time or know where to start
I haven't played CoD in 10 years, but I am a Battlefield guy. I know it's a little more tactical and objective based, but I still have a lot of bad habits to unlearn I'm sure. Looking forward to having my ass handed to me on the regular while I learn and adapt. I'll be purchasing this game next Friday.
@@Valiguss I can def recommend it. Where are you from? I can let you know which clans I can check out 💪
@@davidwhite206 You're in for one hell of a ride. The first 200 hours I barely knew what was going on 😅 but you'll get there, and that's when the real fun begins. My best game to date was still in a tank with 185 kills, and 115 kill streak, and that has only happened once playing with guys the same lvl as me 😅
Also my best advice is take everything you know, and put it aside. This game is 80 % Comms, 19 % player skill and 1 % luck to not get spotted
@@balloonprincess6338 I’ve looked at TAWS and exodus primarily because I play on the exodus servers and a guy I played with recommended taws to me
But yeah recommendations would be awesome I live in nc
Having 1300+ hrs in the game myself and watching your video, you described HLL perfectly!! Worthy of a "subscribe"
This a great review man. This game is literally CoD: 2 on Veteran against real players. Us WW2 lovers have been waiting for a real game like this for 10 - 15 years at least. So happy it’s finally here. Can’t wait for the Pacific theater to relive World at War.
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks!
Post Scriptum existed. ;)
You said you waited 15 years, battlefield v did a phenomenal job.
@@stokedd The maps and aircraft are good in that game. Unfortunately I’m shooting black and women soldiers as well as The Phantom of the Opera and a French woman. I’m waiting for the Pacific in an actual historical context.
@@DelcoAirsoft i understand
you've hit the nail on the head with this video - sums up everything I love about this game. when everyone in the game is communicating and doing their job the game becomes a deeply involving experience like nothing else I've played. I am a mature gamer and it has been a very long time since a game has captured my imagination and my time like HLL. I play it at every opportunity and into the wee small hours of the morning. It's a deeply involving game, atmospheric, hard and strategic with well thought out game modes, roles and communication. this game will only continue to get better and better.
You just convinced me to buy the games and all the dlc's, this game is what i've been looking for in every FPS ever but never found, thank you!
This is my favorite shooter game to this day. The immersion is amazing. The community is amazing. Everything is just so good. When you get your first shotgun kill and watch them get blown in half it just has you crawling back for more. Love this game
Well said!
This game revived gaming for me. Thank you Hell Let Loose.
The description of finding those moments in the game that make you giddy af and wonder why it took so long to find a game like this why I'm hooked. It was those early games from lvl.10-50, where you'd get a solid squad lead and the whole squad was working as one to defend or take a point. It is a great community and game!
I think the community is definitely one of my favourite things. As a noob I got nothing but help from people, even if I screwed things up for the squad I've always been politely told "it's alright we've all done that", not even with a disappointed sigh or tone either. In fact in the 2 months I've been playing I can only recall one time I've had a player yell at me and be a dick about my noobishness, and that ended with the whole team yelling at him and kicking him.
That description of today's games was amazing and expertly written.... You got a sub immediately... haven't even watched your video yet
This review is directly ON POINT! I've never played a game even relatively close to Hell Let Loose. Keep it up man you earned yourself a new sub!
This is now the standard for shooters. Of course it has things to fix. But there is no reason why every single person who complains about modern shooters should not be playing this right now. Loved your comparison between the games players and real soldiers enlisting on the dreams of going to war. Crazy how it creates that feeling of feeling excited to join a war but quickly reality sets in and you’re like oh shit
Happy 1 year anniversary to this video. Your words have inspired me over the last year to give this game a fair shot, and normalized the frustrations I had during the transitory period and learning curve. Thank-you.
I bought this game yesterday and everything you said in this video was accurate. I have never played a game that has made me feel so insignificant, I was literally cannon fodder. Even my squad leader got mowed down by machine gun nest and the man didn’t suck. No one is badass in this game and trying to be so is a quick ticket to the grave. Honestly I recommend this game for everyone, it’s worth trying out
Videos like these are fantastic at building up an already amazing community. If anyone wasn't aware of the existence of this game or was holding out on purchasing it then I'm sure this video will serve to pique their interest.
Glad to have found your channel, your videos are great! Hope to see you in game sometime.
This video has ripped, perfectly glistening muscles on a 80s action movie level. Well done.
Thank you for taking the effort to make the video. It's incredibly poetic and I have shared it half a dozen times until now.
Thanks for sharing, much appreciated!!
This is my favourite game of all time. When you have a squad working together, it's just a fantastic, engrossing experience.
I really enjoyed this video. One of our community members shared this video in our Discord, and I instantly fell in love right from the intro. Great stuff dude! Hell Let Loose is my favorite game and everything you said in this video holds so true.
Thanks! Glad to hear the vid is making the rounds!
500 hours in, this is my favorite game in almost a decade. It provides a ruthless, grueling experience that makes every small victory feel incredible. It can be clunky. It can be frustrating. And yet, every time it is rewarding. And I will be coming back for years to come.
100%. I have family responsibilities and some would say I am old enough to know better than to be putting in gaming sessions well into the early morning (2 or 3 am) on a regular basis, but this game has me by the balls and I am absolutely loving it.
If you’re getting or have gotten it, bit of advice. Always commend players at the scoreboard. Especially the medics if they’re working hard and really doing their job.
It’s so nice to hear exactly what I love about this game said in so many words. I tried to go back to BFV when I first started playing and I couldn’t do it. I spend just as much time talking a new player through the controls or how to drive a tank as I do actually playing and I would be hard pressed to say which is better when your squads FNG gets his first headshot or destroys his first Tiger. Keep up the good work!
as a Veteran of this game it makes me happy you like the game! the game is far from perfect but seeing new waves of players entering is always great! Too anyone who just got HLL, welcome and dont be afraid to ask questions or try new roles, veteran players are mostly nice and if you ask for help or tips we will always try to help!
Hi,I have a question.....Can you please explain how to build,and how get more materials because I always lack of materials?
I just cracked rank 40 last night, been a bit cautious about tunring on mic cos I still feel so new and green and clueless at times, but placed my first OP last night :D and responded to squad leaders requests for an engineer, first time for that role too so looks like Im getting comfy now but it was late stage and I couldnt actually build anything more than razorwire without getting popped. But the supplies thing I need to work out a little more, i get the baics but not sure if theres around it.
@@hoplite1311 You need to get them from commander or support roles. Or trucks too I think. Im still pretty new too.
@@eyebelieve3 I like your attitude man, see you on the battlefield, we need each other and that is what Hell Let Loose is about. That is the great thing about the game.
I mainly wanna ask how do I fix my frame drops seems every other time I get into combat I get a frame drop and it leads to me dying. Also thx for helping us newbies out feels great to be sitting down with the thompson and some cmdr comes around telling me to follow him as we push an mg team
This review was legitness, some saucy headshots too. Great work geeza, see you out there!
Im stoked I stumbled across this video & channel. Spent my whole day off work playing HLL. Cannot believe this game flew under my radar (excuse the pun) can definitely see myself sinking many hours into this game.
This is one of the best impression videos ive seen man you hit the nail on every part. I love this game for the precise reasons you so clearly and humurously conveyed in this video. This game is really something else.
Thanks for the kind words!
This game is definitely the best FPS experience I've had and your review has described it gracefully. The first time I played this game I was overwhet and fucking lost. I loved it. Level 48 now and still learning stuff. I cannot recommend this game enough.
I left Eft for this game as I had it in my library but never gave it a chance 300 hours later and I'm completely addicted to the moments you get in games you couldn't have in any other FPS. You learn very quickly that this game is actually 90% communication, if you don't talk in game your going to have a rough time.
True. Mic up everybody!!
so good to see more content for this game, you hit a lot of notes about the feel of it. As somebody clocking in 349 hours and just got to level 101, I am still getting used to some of the game (especially playing Armor, love it but it really requires a cohesive squad that knows how to communicate). HLL definitely isn't for everybody, with Christmas having just come and gone I've been in plenty of matches with brand new players that aren't used to it (and I've done my best to help them with tips, such as the lesser known among new players T button pulling up a HUD) I've seen plenty of people decide it isn't for them. Pro tip- having at least two squads on defense can save a game. Don't go full offense, or you'll easily be back capped by enemy recon.
Just discovered your channel and I REALLY look forward to your insights on more games in the future. This is serious quality content.
Hey thanks!!
I've been playing this for about 2 years almost now and I'm glad somebody sees it the way I do. This is a diamond in the rough. A masterpiece not found often enough by people. It's great for all its flaws and is one of a kind.
Would you mind helping out a newbie in the next week or so?
Love seeing this game grow, such a refreshing game. AAA devs need to take notes
The devs would love to take notes. The publishers, however, won't let them.
By take note you mean, steal all the ideas then bastardize them and insert loot boxes?
They need to get in line now that team 17 purchased the HLL IP for a cool 40+ Mill..this team needs to be watched..I would bet we see their next title by 2025
Very well done, you really convey the feeling of playing this game for those that haven't yet tried it. Absolutely the shooter many of us have always wanted...
Now imagine Hell Let Loose in VR, that would be insane.
and maybe Hell Let Loose 2 in UE5?
@@Frank-do1bg That’d be beautiful
@@Frank-do1bg TDevs can't even keep up the development timeline with current engine, why would they invest time into UE5 that most people will have issues running for little benefit?
Ran into a good squad on Foy. We flanked hard on the enemy lines and ran into squad after squad. Each player played their role and called out targets as we took each position to the main objective. Even with our Commander yelling at us, we swayed him on what we were doing. When we made it to the objective, I was in awe at the fact that we had just cut the line in two. Our group spearheaded the charge to the next objective and we won the match. It was the most fun I had had with a bunch of randoms ever and wish to continue.
This is honestly my favorite game at the moment. I have almost 1000 hours played and cant stop.
This is one of the best HLL reviews I have seen! Great work, I watched it multiple times! :)
Great video, you described everything perfectly. I'd like to see more of you covering this game
This and the Enlisted review where great fella, both done with that warlike passion that the enjoyers of war movies, games and war-things in general tend to have, with those depictions of vivid war imagery and those in-squad dialogues that makes you say "yep, another freak of warlike stuff, looks like Im not alone". You've earned a sub buddy. I will try to enlist my friends into this game, looks FOKIN GREAT. Hope we meet in the fields of blood and glory.
Cheers from a Filthy Spaniard
Best tactical shooter that's currently on the market, own it since day one. The steep learning curve feels like Mount Everest but once you mastered it, it pays off like no other. Worth every penny...
Big Props for best ,the most intense and well pointed reviews...subscribed buddy !
That last line really hit, if you grew up playing war with stick guns... respect and nostalgia is all I have.
I'm at 1,300 hours... and this is the BEST and most accurate review of this brilliant game I've ever seen. Thank you
I really like HLL because it really gives you a glimpse into what it's really like a battle. I remember my first outing where I got off the truck, followed my squad down a road, we got hit by artillery and I got smoked. Drop back in, fire off a few shots at some distant shapes, get pinned down by machine gun fire then somebody threw a grenade into my trench, back to the lobby. Take part in clearing a farm building complex with my squad, no fighting at all but massive sense of achievement when we finished.
Then there is that glorious time where you get onto the flank of an enemy squad and just tear them up. All the times were you were hit and never saw where the bullet came from suddenly makes sense as you watch soldier after soldier drop.
There is something about your voice, and the way you structure your scripts that makes every review an absolute bomb to watch. You put so much passion that it is just a beauty to watch.
Cracking review mate! Just started playing on xbox and you are spot on with the new player experience. It's brutal.
This is a real review. Right here. Amazing work dude. X
Most realistic game ever. Am getting a gaming laptop for Christmas and, am so to get this game. Great review 😁
get a desktop pc, better
This was a fantastic game review, one of the best I've ever seen man. Well done 👍🏼
Fantastic review. So many relatable and similar moments have came from SQUAD, but your review has me itching to try Hell Let Loose now.
Came across this video in my feed, bought the game immediately after watching it, have not been disappointed.
Its so amazing too see someone giving a good and honest review on this game.. people have to be competent 😅
Dude the script you wrote for this was phenomenal.I don't even have this game but id follow you into battle any day of the week! ( in the mean time here's a sub). Great work!
Watched this vid for the 3th time and it is the best review available on the internet for this game. Well grafted vid, well told… this channel deserves 10x more subs
i've played this game for coming on 2 years. it is my all time favorite game. this is the BEST review ive ever seen of it. if there is one message anyone can take away its "HELL LET LOOSE IS HARD AF"
This is a great overview of how it feels to play a tactical shooter for the first time. Now that you've had the unique experience of getting your teeth kicked in, I have a playlist of some tactics guides for gaming on my channel that will help you interact with your squad on a deeper level. I also want to talk about roleplaying vs communicating immersively, because it actually makes a big difference in fitting in with the experience your squadmates are looking for. I was talking about this with my friend recently since she also got them mixed up: Roleplaying is a conscious decision you make ahead of time with your partners to never break character until a predetermined endpoint. It affects every part of your session, whether you're waiting around for leadership to make a plan or in the most immersive of firefights. This is highly unusual in the genre, especially in public matchmaking. Usually what we do is dynamically alter our communication style to fit the situation. Much of the terminology is borrowed from the real military to be clear and concise, like "Say again" instead of "Repeat," which means something very different. When you're just talking shit on the truck out, like in the example you showed, this doesn't apply because it's not necessary to that situation. "Yes sir/no sir" usually does not fit into this category because it's used as part of a system of respect and trust that we don't have in this context. As soon as the match is over, all virtual officers forfeit their responsibility to their team and can choose a different role. Usually we'll instead reiterate what we're doing (important since peripheral vision doesn't exist in video games) or just that we've understood the order. Overdoing the realism of your communication can feel pretentious and awkward in a virtual squad dynamic, again, especially with strangers. I recommend you play Squad next for perspective on what these games do differently so you can start to formulate some thoughts on what it is specifically that you prefer about each one. That's what makes a review after all
This game and GTFO have revitalized my love for gaming. Great review! I like your perspective on time being a valuable aspect of this game.
4:30 As a former Project Reality and Squad player, I can't even begin to tell you how satisfactory this clip is. These two dudes working together, the Automatic Rifleman's shots being guided by his squad mate, maybe SL. I've been in both positions and there is no better feeling to work with someone like that and have your shots land on the enemy. The joy you feel is amazing.
One of the situations I had was similar, only in Kashan, in PR: I had an AR kit and a squad mate told me "do you see that dude running right to left in next to the bunker, maybe 300 yards out? That's a HAT, light him the fuck up".
This game was an absolute BLAST to play. I had all my great friends playing on a squad and man you felt like you really went to war and back. Everyone knows their job and you try so hard to stay alive and win the points. Matches would easily go for 1-2 hours during a tough fight. I really love this game and would highly recommend if you enjoy team based realist fps combat. Plus the kills were satisfying.
Holy Shit man. This Review gave me Goosebumps. Awesome Job man! I love this game. I have 200h playtime now. Enjoyed every minute.
Thumbs up
Your videos show a lot of insight into the gaming industry, I dig your stuff and have learned a lot watching them.
One of my first matches, I was defending the last zone on Hill 400 as the Germans. We held the village in the center of town, and my squad was holding the river crossing to make sure Americans didn’t cross our Southern flank. Had my OP set in the blown up building and there was just cracking of matching guns, artillery fire, our tanks roaring engines displacing to avoid AT crews, guys calling for medics, commander barking orders to squad leaders, and I LOVED it. I’m glad I scored a Series X and can play this. It’s an abusive lover of a game. It’ll beat you senseless but give you the most intense feeling of accomplishment when your team wins a tough match.
Wow... incredibly well done, and exactly how I feel about this game! "This game is bigger than you" Thank you! More please :)
Once again, well done. If you decide to dedicate your channel (even partially) to future Hell Let Loose content, let me know. The Dev Team would love to sponsor future content of this caliber.
Amazing! Thank you so much!
@@Bullet. Yes, please!
@@Bullet. damn dude. You should take them up on that offer.
Every AAA gaming company should take notes on this game, it is amazing!!!!! When you play, you literally feel like your in WW2. The role playing in this community is fantastic and it is the first game I have ever played that makes whatever role you choose important, and that feeling of importance makes you want to fulfill that role as best as possible. Brilliant game!!!!!!
This is an incredible review, I just bought this game a week ago and couldn't be happier!
I was turned off by this game because I heard that it had a steep learning curve, but your review made me understand that in this game stumbling through the learning curve is part of the fun. Great video 👍
Excellent review of the best game I've ever played. It requires the willingness and ability to work as a team to be successful. I also like that there are specific roles to play that are unique and require experience. The community is more than willing to help new players learn. I removed all other FPS games from my PC as they are not realistic with their replays and bunny hopping. Very nice review!
Loved BF2 back in the days, last FPS I played was America's Army back in 2011. A week ago I saw a video about HLL, instantly fell in love and bought the game, been addicted ever since just trying to be good at it. The feeling I got the first time my squad played with great comunication and commands from the SL like we were in an actual war and with everything going on around me, was something that I hadn't experienced in any game before.
oh dude, what a great video :) already got the game a year ago but barely played it. you got me hyped now!
