You’ll wander round in your workplace in the hunt for the kitchen the place the pie ought to have been made, however if you meet the Chef, he realizes that he has forgotten in regards to the occasion… and didn’t bake a pie but.! For everybody’s sake, you’ll be tasked with discovering the components wanted for this very particular and peculiar pie.

By feeding him CandyMeat, he’ll be taught new abilities and talents, akin to grapple-swinging, in a method that jogged my memory of how Kratos does issues within the unique God of War. You also can improve your satan horns by sacrificing collectibles. I favored how altering your horns provides a brand new quick-time talent to your character, so that you’ll have to vary horns relying on the state of affairs in entrance of you.
On the extent design aspect, every area is grand and can take a while to completely discover. There are collectibles hidden all over the place, and exploration is inspired as you’ll typically discover hidden objects in bizarre spots. The worlds will unlock in a particular order, however inside a world, I favored how the sport turns into non-linear, and you’ll sort out whichever part you’re concerned about. Each world additionally has a couple of dungeons that may reward you with collectibles and the necessary pie components.
With that being stated, I did have some points whereas taking part in the sport. One of them is how Hell Pie closely depends on platforming sections the place you’ll have to leap from one transferring platform to the subsequent one, and a few of these have been definitively irritating because of the unhelpful digital camera. Some dungeons additionally drag method too lengthy after you’ve understood the gameplay mechanics. I additionally had a gripe with the digital camera, which was method too nervous and have become my enemy after I was in fight. It goes round you and doesn’t assist in any respect seeing your enemies. The digital camera additionally tends to make it more durable to land among the trickier jumps within the recreation.
Hell Pie is made with Unreal Engine, and the primary world was pretty disappointing in that regard compared to different Unreal Engine titles I’ve lately performed. The recreation has a cartoony fashion, and by chance the additional zones and dungeons are extra detailed and use extra options. For occasion, Sashimi Island felt extra fascinating to discover and was additionally extra lovely to have a look at. As for the soundtrack, it has been created by Syndrone and was enjoyable to hearken to.
Finally, on the trophies aspect, there are 33 trophies complete on this recreation: 19 Bronze trophies, 9 Silver trophies, and 5 Gold trophies, which implies this one has a Platinum! Most of the trophies will unlock naturally as you progress via the sport and attempt to discover all the collectibles in every world. The excellent news is that the map will let you know the way many are left to search out. There’s plenty of fetching to do, so it gained’t be a brief experience.
Hell Pie is a enjoyable collect-a-thon that has plenty of worlds to overcome in your quest to search out the components wanted to bake a pie for Satan. I favored the extent design of most ranges, though some platforming segments have been annoying as a result of digital camera getting in the best way. The humor can be hit-or-miss, so this one is unquestionably not for everybody. The recreation is offered as a Cross-Buy title with a $24.99 worth, so your buy offers you each the PS4 and the PS5 variations of the sport, every one that includes its personal trophy record.
