A co-op brawler at its core, this adaptation of the Hellboy universe offers a satisfyingly brutal combat loop built around destructible environments and weighty melee attacks. Players control Hellboy, Abe Sapien, Liz Sherman, and a fourth unlockable character, each with unique abilities that encourage teamwork. Though the story is forgettable and the level design linear, the game's simple pleasure comes from smashing through hordes of Nazi occultists and Lovecraftian horrors with your friends, a cathartic experience that's aged surprisingly well.
