Hell is Us has become one of Nacon’s highest rated games ever

As a publisher, Nacon has sat comfortably in the AA space for quite some time now, with the French Holding Company known best for having published the likes of The Sinking City; the WRC series; Session: Skate Sim; RoboCop: Rogue City and perhaps most famously, The Lord of the Rings: Gollum. That said, Nacon looks to be stepping up their publishing game, with the upcoming Hell is Us representing one of their highest rated games ever.

For the uninitiated, Hell is Us is a 3rd-person melee focused action-adventure title which was first announced back in 2022 alongside a 2023 release year. Of course, this did not come to pass, with the project seeing a lengthy delay. Finally however, the game was re-revealed in 2024 alongside its current September 4th 2025 release date.

This delay seems to have been to its benefit however, with critic reviews for Hell is Us currently sitting at a 79 on Metacritic and an 83 on OpenCritic – with particular praise being given to its atmosphere, exploration and Resident Evil-esque puzzles.

As mentioned, Hell is Us currently sits as one of Nacon’s highest-rated games in the publisher’s history, with the only titles to surpass it reception-wise being WRC 9; Roguebook and Ravenswatch.

Of course, Nacon is simply the publisher of Hell is Us, with the Montreal-based Rogue Factor responsible for the development of the highly-praised title.

Even for Rogue Factor however, Hell is Us appears to be a clear step up in quality compared to their previous efforts. It will be interesting to see whether the unique atmosphere and vibes of the game manages to resonate with general audiences. We won’t have to wait long to find out.
