More about Hatred

Steam's global achievement data puts about 14 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. On a 3.6-hour game, the hours short of it still count in its price per hour. Of the 799 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 32 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written January 2026 to October 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 8 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 1,424 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 234 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 70 percent of the 7,390 reviews written there were positive, against 85 percent overall, and those are 28 percent of everything written about it.

The main story runs 3.6 hours. Doing everything runs 26, 7.1 times as long.

What drives the score

Grades: S best, D weakest

S is the best grade and D the weakest, judged as a buyer. ▲ raises the score, ▼ lowers it, ? is an input we do not have, • is a fact this genre's score does not use. How the grades work

MonetizationNone

Reviews
Gates the score. Weak reviews cap it, and nothing reaches BANGER without strong ones. Scored as 84% after the small-sample adjustment
For context

Steam-purchase reviews sampled whose writer refunded the game. Nothing is docked
AI contentNone disclosed
From the developer's own Steam disclosure. No disclosure is not proof of none, so it does not move the score

What players say

Hatred is a really unoptimized game with clunky gameplay, and sometimes it's so dark that you can barely see anything. But if you can get past that, you're left with one of the best Postal-likes ever made. It's also a little too real at times. I feel kinda bad having so much fun committing a massacre. I'm glad it's just a work of fiction... right?

Tried, but didnt like doing crime. Hatred required shooting police officers in the first level. Just couldn't do it.

I got pretty far and I absolutely recommend this game. Its fun and regardless of the bleak storyline I had a good time. I would really like the Devs to dial in the controller settings and playability on SD and other handhelds.
