PayPalAfter it gained a Linux beta back in 2015 it didn't seem like it would ever leave, but developer Destructive Creations has now given the Linux version of Hatred an official release.

It's worth noting, that it didn't really change much during the beta and they have no fixes planned for the Linux version unless "you find something really broken".
About the game:
Hatred fills your whole body. You’re sick and tired of humanity’s worthless existence. The only thing that matters is your gun and the pure Armageddon that you want to unleash.
You will go out for a hunt, and you will clear the New York outskirts of all humans with cold blood. You will shoot, you will hurt, you will kill, and you will die. There are no rules, there is no compassion, no mercy, no point in going back. You are the lord of life and death now - and you have full control over the lives of worthless human scum.
You will also run, you will need to think, you will need to hide and fight back when armed forces come to take you down. You will have no mercy for them, because they dare to stand in your way.
Only brutality and destruction can cleanse this land. Only a killing spree will make you die spectacularly and go to hell.
Still strange how controversial the game was early on, with Valve removing it from the old Greenlight system and later reinstating it with an apology. There have been plenty of worse games released before it and likely will be plenty more that follow.
Find it on Steam.

Is a story behind this psychotic shooter? I mean, sounds like a rogue like version of Postal.

I had been hoping this would come to Linux for a long time. Bought as soon as I could for full price.

Bought it few days ago.
I highly recommend to install the color mod from the Workshop, or just give it a try. IMO it looks much better than the default BW-ish theme.

It's an infamous game alright, and a shitty one at that https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hatred_(video_game)
EDIT: Oops, I totally misinterpreted your question. There is no story, it's just a guy that wants to kill as much as he can, the end.

Currently, 76% off on GreenManGaming. Hmmm, maybe worth a punt.
Anyone finding it broken or problematic on Linux?
EDIT: And now back up to full price again :/

I haven't played it for a while, but I found no major problem with the game on my system. Some of the workshop mods didn't work at the time but that may be fixed now.
Quite a good shooter and nowhere near as controversial as its infamy might suggest :-)

Well, this is very good game with good reviews on steam (77% positive). Just remember good game but not for all, if u like games like Postal then u can like Hatred also, if not then probably this game is not for u.
but...
they have no fixes planned for the LinuxNot only for Linux, also for Windows, because this game is done. They finish it and not plan to update it anymore for any platform. They just working on other titles.
but...

The only thing that don't work for me is thumbstick buttons on a xbox 360 controller, so you can't run

No, just no.
I didn't play Postal when I was an angst-driven youth and I'm not going to play Hatred when I'm a happy middle aged father.

That is up to you of course.
As a curiosity, may I ask why you consider it contributing to post "I will not play this game" under an article about a game?
I've wondered what the reasoning behind it is.

I actually picked up Postal 2 on a sale recently
Great fun till I got to the final boss on Sunday. That just felt impossible. Have to try the expansion.
But Postal 2 had life and color , and plenty of parodies/caricatures.
This seems to be Postal 2 with none of that.

I don't see big difference to people posting that they will buy the game the respective article is about...

I would have been more open to buying this years ago. Since then people I follow on Youtube have reviewed this game and found it to be fairly mediocre (and something about cars randomly killing you). I'll consider it again.

Yes, that is the main difference between Postal 2 and this game. This is just edgy and violent for the sake of being edgy and violent.

Steam don't sell it in Germany. :(
But the key can be activated. It's always a nuisance to get it another way.

From what I saw from a couple of streams, even the edgy and violent gets blunt and dull after a while. The "shocking" execution scenes quickly become a chore when repeated 5-10 times, and murdering partyers doesn't have much challenge when they forget there's a killer in their midst after about 15 seconds and just wander back into your line of fire.
Oh, and all the bugs and glitches. I think those had the most entertainment value.
Gotta appreciate the story and acting, though. It takes real skill to make Tommy Wiseau look like a dramatic genius by comparision.
The studio also did a shovelware wave shooter called IS Defense, based on a paranoid fantasy of shooting brown invaders coming to take over Europe. Samsai played it on the GoL stream a while back, it was really badly made.

Because German ban violent games. Thats why some small devs/publisher bypass this ban by selling on other sites like Humble, GreenManGaming or Fanatical - european steam keys without a national lock :)

Probably just wants everyone to know what a special little snowflake he is :)
Either way this is no different to doom and many other violent video games IMO, people are seriously shallow these days and cherry pick things under an ideal of standards but let's be honest, COD/BF4/this.... it's all the same kind of violence in the end!
Stop being a snowflake!
