Top 10 Horrifying Hells in Gaming

June 24, 2015 by Tim Gruver

What the Hell?

Whether we’re just obsessed with death or because a world of fire and brimstone sounds supremely badass, you can’t find a hotter destination than hell. We’re talking bloodthirsty demons and unending torment bad here – and that’s really, really bad. Although you probably don't wanna go there for real because of, well, eternal damnation and all, it sure makes for one hell of a game.

“What’s so bad about hell, really?” you say. I’ll tell you, or better yet, I’ll show you. Think earth sucks sometimes? Imagine living it in these festering pits of despair. Abandon all hope, ye who read this feature. For these are the hells no mortal dares speak of, may they have mercy on your soul.

 

Mortal Kombat: Scorpion’s Lair

Mortal Kombat’s “Hell” pulls out all the evil stops. Decked out with lava pits and glowing skull pillars, MK11‘s version of the level almost makes a checklist of all things hellish and checks it twice; it’s even got a fire-breathing dragon in the foreground. The only thing that could make it worse would be if there were hands reaching out from under the ground ready to ensnare you…and it has that too. 

Add that to an eternity of getting beaten up by people you hardly know and you have a great afterlife to look forward to. It’s like living your first day of high school forever, only these swirlies melt your whole head.
