This is becoming completely unacceptable.

Hell Let Loose: Vietnam is a perfect example of everything wrong with the modern game industry: release the game before it’s finished, collect the money, and then spend the next several months fixing what should have been fixed before launch. I understand that the developers are actively working on these problems, and some things have already improved. That’s good. But that doesn’t change the fact that this game was released in a borderline unfinished state. On PS5, the experience is especially rough. The graphics are honestly embarrassing at times. The foliage and shadows constantly flicker, shimmer and artifact, textures look blurry and low-resolution, and visibility in the jungle can be so bad that it actively affects gameplay. You can literally have vegetation dancing and flashing across the screen while trying to figure out whether you're looking at an enemy or a graphical glitch. This isn't just an aesthetic problem — it makes the game harder to play. Then there are the crashes, server disconnects, wonky server browser, questionable UI, and the absolute mess that can be trying to invite or join friends. Nothing feels polished. The audio is another disaster. Sounds randomly cut out, directional audio can be completely unreliable, and sometimes you're left with missing combat sounds or comms when you're supposed to be relying on sound to understand what's happening around you. For a tactical shooter, that's a pretty fundamental problem. And the controller issues are probably my biggest dealbreaker. Delayed inputs and bizarre stick-drift-like behavior make the game feel awful to control. When you're trying to move, aim or react and the game decides to register your input a fraction of a second later — or keeps moving after you've stopped — the entire experience becomes incredibly frustrating. I don't have these issues with my controller in other games, so it's hard to blame the hardware. The frustrating part is that there is actually a good game buried underneath all of this. The concept, setting and core gameplay have a ton of potential. That's what makes this so irritating. But potential doesn't equal a finished product. We shouldn't have to buy a game at launch and then wait for it to become the game we were promised. "They're working on it" cannot continue to be the standard excuse for releasing games in this condition. Patches are great, but they should be improving a finished game — not finishing the game after we've already paid for it. Hell Let Loose: Vietnam feels like it needed another few months of development and optimization before being released on console. Maybe eventually it will be great. Right now, on PS5, it's a work in progress being sold as a finished product.

Way better than I thought it would be. Huge potential

My expectations were very low. But, the game launched better than the beta and im having a blast so far and excited for new fixes and content.

Vietnam hell let loose

Well, I purchased the game, not realizing that you can only play online. I think that really sucks. You should be able to play Alone if you want. That was a big downfall for me. Yeah, I know. I could just purchase it and play online, but I know we just play whenever I WANT By Myself.

Mediocre graphics on PS5, a masterclass in frustration.

I've played the original Hell Let Loose for years and it is my favorite game by a large margin. I remember being frustrated as a new player, but the learning curve was not insurmountable. With 100s of hours of experience in Hell Let Loose I still feel like a novice in Vietnam. I've played several matches where I've worked with teammates, used comms, used tactics, but been killed incessantly by unseen enemies. It doesn't help that the janky graphics make it nearly impossible to distinguish between people and plants at any distance beyond point blank. Audio cues were useful in the original HLL to locate enemies before you could see them, but the audio on this actually confuses me more than helps me. If you were playing HLL with T17 friends and only know them by their HLL names, good luck finding them in HLL Vietnam, as there is no longer an option to use a name other than your PlayStation username. My friends and I were really looking forward to this game, but now we feel that we've wasted $40 and are going back to playing the original HLL.

Good start

The game is good. It’s buggy atm but I know the game will be amazing once it’s all fixed. I will update my review after the next update.

Very buggy release.

This is a disappointment. It’s 2026 and you release a game that has audio bugs galore, and a party system that doesn’t work. I can’t bring my party of friends in a game behind me, and talk to them while finding a squad. I can’t find an easy match to join bc the server browser is whack. How do you not have a quick play option? And I constantly get stuttering noises at the loudest volume or lose complete audio for close to 60 seconds , multiple times during a life. Smh.

UNLEASH HELL IN THE JUNGLE

Enter the explosive conflict of the Vietnam War and fight your way through some of the fiercest clashes in modern history. Join the battle raging across an extreme landscape of vast mountain gorges and thick jungle, where the North Vietnamese Armies clash with the military strength of the US Armed Forces. Build tunnels, fly helicopters, drive patrol boats, use historically accurate weapons and work with your team to achieve victory.


OWN THE BATTLE

Take the battle to the enemy across 6 large-scale maps inspired by real world locations. Play as either the North Vietnamese Army or US Armed Forces and choose from one of 17 specialised roles within a 50-strong team made up of multiple squads.

DEPLOY YOUR FORCES

In the heat and fury of the Vietnam War, the battle is more dynamic than ever. New US aerial units feature fully operational helicopters for fire support and supply drops. NVA forces can build extensive tunnel networks to gain the upper hand with surprise attacks.Both sides can hunt the enemy through Vietnam’s complex river network with heavily armed patrol boats built and launched to seek and destroy. Enhanced player movement, including swimming, climbing and fast crawling, and interactions such as dragging co-combatants away from active fire to give them a chance to heal and re-engage, all adds to the immersive battle experience.
