Hell in video games.

Yeah, the first Painkiller was such a blast and to my surprise it had a great atmosphere for such a run and shoot game.. and that last level was a masterpiece as far as level design goes in that style of games ...such a shame that the otherwise good HD remake or what the hell is that Hell and Damnation version is, they totally butchered that final level
The Darkness' World War 1 Hell is my favourite cause it's unsettling, sad, and inspired.
Are Darkness I and II still worth playing (x360) today?
The nether in minecraft is basically hell.
And I hate it.
My most favourite hell in videogames is the deadside in Shadow Man tho. Especially the Asylum.

It's still gorgeous. What a masterpiece!Not technically Hell or even an Afterlife, but Silent Hill's Otherworld acts very much the way Hell is often described as, with fire/blood/brimstone, whilst also being personalized nightmares! Probably the most inventive take on a Hell-like setting I've ever seen in a video game, especially the sheer Otherness of 1 and 3's!
I kinda prefer the effects they have in later games with peeling walls.
This too. I felt so uncomfortable playing through this section.The Darkness' World War 1 Hell is my favourite cause it's unsettling, sad, and inspired.
Woah, what version of Worms 1 is this? Looks way clearer than I remember and I like the look of the worm sprites in this.Not the darkest one for sure, but I love the hell setting in Worms ^-^
That was gonna be my pick, mostly for that BGM too!
Absolutely. Darkness 2 does some really cool storytelling devices like in-game flashbacks and switches to a mental hospital that further fleshes out the characters.
i love Doom (2016) but other than that i quite enjoy Diablo 3. it's not hell but there are a lot of hellish areas.

Yes, yes, YES, this, oh my god this is so good, this is fucking art, oh we need a remaster.
I love hell in The Void (btw currently on -80% sale on Steam - https://store.steampowered.com/app/37000 )
Well, it's not exactly hell, but it takes place really close to it.
Aight time to install this. I believe i bought it on a whim a couple years ago and ive always found the visuals very interesting. Is it an interesting game in general?
I have nothing to add to the convo but I just want to say your thread titles always seem so provocative because of your name.
Well, it's hard to say, because this game is hard and can be really frustrating, but world and story are absolutely worth it. Gameplay is some sort of survival game, you need to collect Colour to survive, but at the same time, you need to give Colour to the world in order to get it and survive. It's really not a typical modern game, it gives a very little information and you need to learn gameplay details by yourself (or read walkthroughs), really easy to stuck and die at first and start from the scratch. But again, story and world is really deep and unique, I haven't seen anything like this
Well, that part was still cool imo because it stands out from the blue ish/yellow environments from the other areas of the game, lots of bright red, the small platforms she goes through is the johnson forest mentioned on the first game.but definetly it would be nice to revisit hell and go to another place with mechanical stuff. some Angels also have mechanical motiffs btw with them getting it from humanity.
the hunter's nightmare in particular, leading right up to ludwig. endless battling without cause or purpose, twisting of forms, rivers of blood with corpses reaching out futilely for respite, crows pecking at said corpses, despair.
I can't decide because every time I encounter hell in a videogame it's the same stereotypical lava and fiery cavern art style I've seen every time.
I wish developers can be a bit more experimental with hell and actually I liked that film with Robin Williams about a man who journeys to hell to save his wife. That version of hell is a bit unique, could we get something like that in a video game?

The original Doom and (because of the source material, more than anything) Dante's Inferno.
Modern Doom, on the other hand, really dropped the ball. Instead of a place of eternal torment, it just gave us Generic Demon World.

Dantes inferno was pretty cool.
Darksiders also, more hell on earth.
Diablo is pretty tame to be honest
And of course hades.

Nebulous in Jet Moto 2 has a cliche depiction, but it's the contrast with heaven and music switch that makes it great lol.
Definitely Agony.
For all it gets wrong, its depiction of hell is just as fucked up as you'd imagine.

This. Hell in Spelunky is especially tense because it takes quite some effort to get there and, as it is full of traps and enemies, every tiny mistake could bring all that effort to nought. I always had sweety palms and palpitation when I managed to get there.
I played through this and can't believe I never got to this part.
You move as if underwater though lol. The games are great. Humble bundle just did 2 for free.
Oh yeah man now I'm remembering how radical these games are.
The peeling walls were the best thing about Homecoming(and one of the only two good things), but even that was ripped straight out of the movie.It's still gorgeous. What a masterpiece!

As much flak as the movie gets, I still consider it a fantastic movie in its own right.
We got one!
It's a mess! And was always gonna be a mess because Konami lost the original dev code for the games./spoiler]
I'd kill for a 3 remake in Fox Engine though.
