Hell Let Loose - review bombing after disastrous trailer
As a result, the reception of the shooter in the last month has changed from "mostly positive" to "mixed". In 30 days, players have posted 2770 reviews on Steam (as of June 14), with only 57% of them positive. What do the users point to in the posted reviews?
"The game has always suffered from various problems, but what the new developers are doing is too much. After taking over the helm from BM (Black Matter), Team17 released two disastrous updates, raised the price of the game, has plans for an in-house store, and the trailer they showed was the final straw. Nothing promises to get better - I had a great time, but everything ends at some point," wrote user karl.
"After the latest update and trailer, it looks like Team17 has initiated the beginning of the end of this game," stated Circle | Gkost in turn.
From these sample opinions, it is clear that players do not like the direction in which this war FPS is heading. At the same time, it should be noted that overall rating of Hell Let Loose remains high. Of the more than 65,000 reviews issued, the majority (86%) are positive.
Fatal Devotion to Duty update trailer
We reported about the flaws in Devotion to Duty's trailer yesterday. Since then, the developers have removed the flawed footage from their YouTube channel (you can still find it on PC Gamer's channel) and published a message in which they apologize to players. In addition, they announced various fixes.
Recall that the game was created by Black Matter, but it recently handed over development of Hell Let Loose to another developer - Cover 6 Studios, which was appointed by the game's new publisher, Team17. The team is expected to continue work on the title while Black Matter is busy developing another project.
Hell Let Loose is available on PC, Xbox Series X/S and PlayStation 5.
