I never had much regard for Hatred as it was just another twinstick shooter - until I saw some gameplay of it. It looks pretty decent, if a little pointless/repetitive - but the detailed destruction modelling and simplistic monochrome with coloured highlights (fire, police lights, etc) aesthetic works quite well.

The only criticisms that I really have from seeing the footage is that the level design is somewhat counter-intuitive (seriously, who would design those house layouts in real life like that?), often leading to being trapped in corridors by several "human shields" (Police officers), and that the AI itself is somewhat clunky, and could deal with a little polish. Finally, the instakill "tap the moving vehicle and you die" design can frustrate quite easily, and really needs some work.

Personally I don't think I will buy it - not out of principal or "MUH TRIGGURS", but that it just doesn't hold my interest beyond the destructibility of the world.
