10 Video Games That Literally Put You Through Hell
1. DOOM
The first thing you should ever think of when it comes to Hell in video games should be one of the most influential games of all time, DOOM.
While most of the time you are actually fighting demons from Hell on Mars, there are times in the games where you actually journey through Hell itself, usually reserved for the final acts. Even being outside of Hell and on Mars, or even Earth, the demons that you face are gruesome and have since become infamous. Enemies like the Imp, Cyberdemon, Pinky and Cacodemon are instantly recognizable even by those who are not long time fans of the series. Let us also not forget Doom Guy, who is one of the most recognizable protagonists in video game history as well.
Released originally back in 1993, DOOM has been allowing players to journey into Hell and shoot demons with big guns for over two decades across numerous gaming consoles and platforms. The most recent release in 2016 saw the series come into the next generation, and with it came even more depictions of Hell and its demons. The fast paced, brutal and gore-filled arcade style shooter meshes extremely well with the hellish landscapes.
No matter where you may actually stand on DOOM, there's no denying that it is the quintessential journey into Hell for gamers.
