What critics said

Eurogamer60

The lavish jungles, rigid command structure, and emphasis on communication make Hell Let Loose: Vietnam a fascinating war simulator when it works. But its many variables can all too easily devolve into a miserable snipe-fest.

There are good ideas buried somewhere in Hell Let Loose: Vietnam, but the lack of content and technical polish make it feel like it needed another tour in development.

Hell Let Loose: Vietnam review

Hell Let Loose: Vietnam review

The most surprising thing about Hell Let Loose: Vietnam is how much DNA it shares with Big Walk. They both frequently involve traversing large expanses of terrain. They both have excellent maps. Most of all, they're both fundamentally games about communication. Each utilises modern voice chat to its fullest extent, requiring players to clearly express and articulate themselves to succeed.

Hell Let Loose: Vietnam Preview: There’s No Hand-Holding in This Hardcore 50v50 Milsim

If you're craving a slow, communications-heavy milsim that respects your time enough to punish you for misusing it, and you don't mind working around some preview-build roughness and a learning curve that hasn't softened much, Hell Let Loose: Vietnam looks like it's still very much itself. That's a good thing if you already loved this series, and a warning if you didn't.
