Had a pretty great time with this one! If you’ve ever enjoyed an 80’s thriller or Stranger Things give I Hate This Place a go!

I Hate This Place Review — Dark, Dank, and Rad! | Console Creatures
I Hate This Place does a great job of creating an 80's vibe with a classic action-horror atmosphere. The story is interesting and dark, the protagonist kicks ass, and the action is fun and visceral.
