About

You’ll probably like Hellbound if you enjoy grim, fear-driven storytelling and debates about justice and humanity; Not for you if you want something light, if you find the early pacing slow, or if you’re sensitive to brutal violence like All of Us Are Dead or Sweet Home.

Pros: brutal but engaging; strong effects; thought-provoking themes | Cons: very dark tone; slow early pacing; divisive and confusing
