Hell has always been an interesting setting for the entertainment industry, especially gaming. Every video game out there has demonstrated its morbid depiction of hell and its horrors. From the haunting psychological nightmares of Max Payne to Dante from Dante's Inferno plunging deep into the nine circles of hell, it’s safe to say that when it comes to interpretations, hell can be portrayed in many different ways.

Today we’ll be diving into a complete list of hell games or a setting that is similar, like the underworld, purgatory, or simply a fiendish world. If you don’t care about the best hell games and just want to discover a page that encompasses a complete list of games set in hell, then you’ve come to the right place.

The Silent Hill franchise has always enjoyed its own unrivalled depiction of the nightmares of hell. As players are called to the Silent Hill town, they quickly realize this isn’t your ordinary-to-go town for a vacation break.
Silent Hill 3 is arguably the best depiction of the horrors of Silent Hill town, and it’s easy for one to compare it to hell. As the siren sound strikes, things quickly morph into a dark, morbid and nightmare world ladened with nightmarish visuals and grotesque creatures to confront. The psychological horror elements add a layer of tension that keeps you on the edge of your seat constantly.

It’s the perfect game for metalheads. A wet dream became true. Full of exquisite metal soundtracks to bang your head to, it’s safe to say Slain: Back from Hell is one of the best depictions of hell. The game is tough, nudging you to learn your foes’ movement. It’s unbelievably gory, with each swing you perform, blood splashes all around.

Although not set specifically in hell, Shadow Man’s The Deadside setting is reminiscent of hell in various ways. Flesh-eating creatures lurking around, screams of the undead, and a bizarre yet fascinating atmosphere all make Shadow Man’s setting a hellish place for someone to live in.
Based on the comic series of the same name, Shadow Man is an action-adventure third-person shooting with major elements from the Metroidvania genre. It puts you in the shoes of Mike LeRoi as he teleports back to Deadside to thwart the demon Legion’s plans from taking over sullen entities known as Dark Souls.

In Succubus, you’re not a helpless person looking for a way to survive, nor a muscular man loaded with a gun in his arms. You’re a priestess of lust who uses her powers to take vengeance on her enemies.
The depiction of hell’s horrific landscapes along with the gory footage makes Succubus a worthy mention on the list. Although laden with adult-only content, this is what you would expect from being in control of Succubus herself.
