Hellboy: Web of Wyrd reviewed by Jarrett Green on PC. Also available on PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch.
Missed opportunity haunts every inch of Hellboy: Web of Wyrd. Its faithful adaptation of the striking look and sharp wit of Mignola’s classic comic books is excellent, but the focus on action above all else comes at the cost of any real resonance that goes deeper than monster-of-the-week-style pulp. As a brawler, it's simple and fun to dive in and play, but all too soon you reach the bottom of its shallow gameplay, without any room for unique play styles or mechanical discovery and a complete lack of challenging enemies that would demand that you up your demon-slaying game. As a roguelite, I appreciated the short runs that were just long enough not to overstay their welcome, because spending too much time in maps that felt so similar with nothing all that interesting to see and do in them besides slap underpowered bad guys around would be a real purgatory.
