Hellboy: Web of Wyrd

GGReconDave McAdam

While Hellboy Web of Wyrd is not the strongest example of a roguelike, the depth of its combat and themes more than make up for it. As perfect a representation of the Hellboy comic art as you could get in a 3D video game, Web of Wyrd is the best Hellboy game ever made, and an excellent entry point for new fans.

But Hellboy Web of Wyrd is a blunt and relentless action game featuring a delightful combination of visuals and sounds, giving each blow a palpable feeling of strength. The intense combat is a literal blast, distinctly the one factor that the game should be praised for, even if some actions appear to register late. Purely as a tactical brawler drenched in roguelike mechanics and featuring a mammoth of a main character, this is one that not only hits the mark but occasionally shatters it to pieces.

Hellboy Web of Wyrd has a gorgeous comic-inspired design, dramatic fights, and a fun gameplay loop that both offers a lot of bang for your buck and respects your time. Hellboy Web of Wyrd is anything but Hellish

Hellboy's Right Hand of Doom is the star of Hellboy: Web of Wyrd, but this melee-focused roguelite lacks substance outside of pummeling mythical creatures to dust.

Hellboy: Web of Wyrd will delight fans with its visuals and Mignola-certified tale, but its roguelike nature and slow combat don't make the most of the source material.

Hellboy: Web of Wyrd is full of style and runs perfectly stable as is typical of roguelite games. However, unlike the greatest games from this increasingly popular genre, it lacks enough of a hook to have players wanting to experiment with its mechanics. While the story can be entertaining, it's nothing too special.

I love Hellboy, the character and the universe he inhabits, so the chance to play a Hellboy game was obviously too good an opportunity to pass up.

Every so often, I wish my job as a games journalist were as simple as reviewing a game on concept alone. Hellboy Web of Wyrd, a roguelike brawler adventure game that sees you taking on the undead in different locations around the world is an immediately intriguing and refreshing pitch. Unfortunately, like many of the red demon’s adaptations over the years, the game falls short on quality and remaining exciting, even though there’s charm to be found. Our boy just can’t catch a break.

While the story, visuals, and sound are great, there's not much there to enjoy beyond that.

Hellboy: Web of Wyrd looks the part. It’s a gorgeous game and I was really hoping that it would deliver the vision for the character and comic in the same way that it captured the aesthetics. Sadly, instead, we got a stodgy roguelike that largely misses the point of what either Hellboy or the roguelike should offer. Equally sadly, we continue to wait for a truly great Hellboy game.

The best visual representation of Hellboy outside of the comic books, but an absolutely terrible video game, whose shallowness and lack of variety is matched only by its constant repetition.

Hellboy Web of Wyrd has the look and feel of something really cool, but it’s let down by almost every other aspect of its execution. Even amazing voice talent from the late Lance Reddick as Hellboy and the legendary Steve Blum as Lucky don’t add anything noteworthy to the time spent. The game is available now on PC, PlayStation 4 and 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch.
