What players are saying
Counted from the reviewers’ own thumbs up/down on the 51 English Steam reviews we collected, not by the AI. Valve’s all-language rating: Mostly Positive (64 of 91 positive).
Players find the game has solid core gameplay and potential, but is too early in development. [1][2][3] Many enjoy the co-op experience, calling it fun with friends. [4][5][6] Some reviewers criticize the lack of content, progression, and polish. [7][8][9]

I will be completely honest here, the game has potential but right now I can't recommend the game, It needs to tone down the flashing dimensions effects cause me and my friends while streaming the game was constantly being blinded and obviously not great for the viewers either, Yes there is a lot of bugs in the game but I expected as much as it is Early Access, A main issue me and my friends had was that the was no …

For starters, this doesn't feel like a game at this point in its development. It's more like a proof of concept that was given graphics so it could be sold as an "Early Access" entry to garner some amount of financial support to help fund further development. With that being said, though, what is there still feels rather solid. It feels fun even just playing around with the physics, the enemies you can encounter in …

It's a really fun game that left me with tons of positive vibes. I highly recommend playing it in co-op mode—that's where the real focus lies! Forget about the storyline; instead, focus on saving your teammates and navigating the map's tricky sections. Work on your agility and attention to detail—Hazard Levels really appreciates that ^^

It's too early to discuss the game as a full-fledged project. Bugs in the early Access game are to be expected, but the general idea of the game is definitely interesting. I'm looking forward to updates, maybe then the game will become popular.

Love the look of it and solid core gameplay already, even in EA. Look forward to seeing how it develops! Disappointed I didn’t get a strike in gnome bowling though

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Not all early access titles are unrecommendable, but Hazard Levels should not be sold in its current state. There's potential, but today the game is Lethal Company without any sense of progression or a player base for that matter. I am a big fan of Sker Ritual, Wales Interactive's last release, but I am doubtful that Hazard Levels makes it past one year at this rate. I hope I'm wrong and I can revisit in a few more months.

neutral · AI labelView post →This shouldn't even be sold... a game with zero point, nothing to spend money on, just running around very simple AI. Why not just play Minecraft and spawn in a zombie and run away from it if that is fun.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →big yawn, go play repo or lethal
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Was really looking forward to this, streamed it and all i was greeted with was a janky mess, hardly anything to do in the game and tbh REPO when it entered EA was in a 100% better state than this. I feel very let down by Wales Interactive. Refunded
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Other reviews seem like AI, game plays like a janky repo company.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very rough around the edges and has horrible, migraine inducing constant flashing and flaring video effects and lights. Final straw for refunding was that all the positive reviews sound like AI.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game is similar to REPO, but the graphics are much better I tried playing it alone, but it turned out to be boring At the same time, once I played with friends, the game really came into its own many of the mechanics are designed specifically for that

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Early access, and it feels so. Hazard Levels feels very technical, as in we are establishing a game loop and nothing else. No intro dialogue to show us what we’re doing and why? Just... begin the game loop? I’m still interested, but can you throw us a bone of story or context to what’s going on other than the trailer? Current state of the title: go into hazardous area, use gravity gun to lasso valuable “things” and then bring them back to the collection point. Survive whatever monsters spawn.…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →tl;dr A lackluster R.E.P.O. knock off that's more expensive and with much less content (you can't even spend the money you earn on ANYTHING). As a fan of Sker Ritual and Wales Interactive, I got this at launch. Unfortunately, with a year of extra time and "inspiration" from R.E.P.O. you'd think this would be a solid game with at least a vague description on the premise of the game. It barely explains anything and most of the community is coping by saying that's what makes it fun. I even go on…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →if Aids could catch something it would be this pile of doo.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →So, first off, I have gotten to know what the premise of this game is and I understand how to play the game now. This game is somewhat similar to REPO, however, it is different enough from REPO at the moment where if I'm playing REPO, and I get bored of it, I could happily come to this game and play something similar, but have a different experience and vice versa. With more time and more updates to this game, and keep in mind, this game is already good, but it would become even better. Love…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Operation “Beasts” or Zoo Simulator :D Okay, we just put on some masks—foxes, geese, and others—to liven up this abandoned place. Man, I was throwing chairs, pool cues, and anything else I could get my hands on. It was fun... but something bigger was waiting for us!

neutral · AI labelView post →R.E.P.O./Lethal Company friend slop that has nothing specific to offer. Lobby is annoying with the bus being far, no idea what to do from the beginning, stupid 'You fell over, heh.' physics and furry main character.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Found this game while looking on steam watched the trailer fell in love with it and so far it's amazing and funny hope this game goes far
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →game for maniacs. The goal of Hazard Levels is to bring players together and make them fall in love with the game and team spirit (often the opposite happens). Lots of humor, lots of challenges, and overall, it’s fun to play with friends. The missions aren’t always appropriate, but I can’t call it a bad game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →At first glance, this game doesn’t have any kind of storyline, and that sucks :( On the other hand, you can add any quests, tasks, or locations to it.... It all depends on the developers and their passion for this project. P.S. If you do decide to give it a try, wait for a sale and buy a copy for yourself and a friend right away.... The online mode here is dead. So you’ll either be able to play with a friend or in single-player mode. And those are just a few more inconveniences waiting…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →i'm giving it a like just for the telekinesis and baskettt cons: not much content i was expecting more. But it has potential i hope they don't abandon it
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It seems kind of fun. feels like lethal company mixed with repo and phasmo in one game. based in london lol, really enjoyable.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →How I miss my shotgun here!!!

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Epic, fun, intriguing, and sometimes scary... but definitely NOT BORING! It all started innocently enough in a pub, and ended with the death of one of the monsters!!! Yeah! Take that! A friend says I dove right into this game with both hands! No! With both paws! ++ There are way too many unique mechanics here. Is that even allowed? Hahaha
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Something unusual, something new... but it's a shame stealth mode is almost impossible here. Everything happens so fast that I don't always have time to react to what's going on. It’s awesome when you have a full party of 4 friends and you can head into the ritual world of battle. Even though it’s early access, there’s plenty of content and you can play right now! However, there are some minor bugs. I’m looking forward to new updates.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →love how bizarre this game gets :D one minute you're scavenging through some alien dimension, the next you're back at the pub mixing drinks out of whatever weird crap you managed to bring back. the gravity gun is a nice touch too. there's a lot of fun packed into this little gameplay loop :)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Lethal Company has that vibe, but with great graphics and a cocktail of issues, plus a few problems. I’ve run out of ammo a few times. Where can I get more huh? EA is almost always rubbish, so want to see the full version before giving it a neg rating for pfct.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →2.6 hours in. The loop is simple: scan for an anomaly, open a rift, grab whatever weird ingredients you can carry and drag them back to the brewery under the pub. The Gravity Gauntlet lets you hold and throw a pile of stuff at once. Brewing cocktails out of the loot is the best bit, since some give you a perk and some just cause chaos. You can go solo or bring up to three friends, with prox chat. There isn't much content yet, and the devs admit it themselves
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Best thing about this game is the PHYSICS! the worst is the PUZZLES! Although I could end this review there, Hazard Levels is an unusual game. Its structure is actually quite interesting: the pub – choosing masks – progressing through the levels – you’re left on your own – your teammates shout at you instead of giving you clues – you’ve won, but they’re still unhappy about something. The idea isn’t without merit – although some parts of the game are a bit of a mystery to me. It’s as if there…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It’s more FFFUUUUN than scary. I’d remove the "horror" genre from the tags. It still needs some work! go update please dev
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Only for the bravest! A real test of friendship. We passed our test. Although a few times the potion did something unbelievable! And I was close to failing. That sense of responsibility for your squad ^^
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Odd visual design, but gameplay still fine. Worth giving a try when it on sale
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's a pretty good game, you can play it with friends, and the graphics are nice, they're actually kind of beautiful.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Drinks here are a form of art in their own right. You’ll realise that this phrase has many layers, but I don’t want to give anything away ^^
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →hazard levels is basically lethal company meets british pub horror – explore random dimensions, collect weird ingredients, and try not to get eaten by whatever the hell lives there proximity chat with friends, cursed cocktails, and a gravity gauntlet make this look like a chaotic co-op experience – def one to play with the boys

neutral · AI labelView post →You guys should have just kept adding more content to Sker Ritual, an amazing game. but this? I don't even know if you can call it a game tbh, I honestly expected so much more considering these guys made Sker.. but this game just sucks.. A lot. it feels clunky and like you guys took a box of random scraps and smooshed them together, ultimately making a weird, messy, unfinished feeling game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →everytime i press shift my camera locks in place and i cant move it. fix your game
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →i like this dose it nee more polishing yes but i find it fun having to go on the bus to your location and gathering oddities so you can hopefully make it out alive to upgrade your stuff especially when you play it solo like i do its a lot header this will be fun if i can get my friends to play but for now im enjoying it by my self
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →REPO but at a faster pace. Each "crawl" has you go through more rifts each time and in-between crawls you can spend the money you earn to upgrade yourself or your equipment. It definitely has the early access "feel" what with the occasional bug or lack in player equipment, but I'm excited to watch this game develop!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →we need more potions
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →We had a great time at the bar; too bad I got killed
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A game of contrasts. I thought long and hard about what rating to give it. I see that the developers have added the option to choose cocktails in the game. So, if the developers don’t get too caught up in the cocktails and can muster the willpower to release 1–3 major updates THIS WILL BE AWESOME! But right now, this is early access in the truest sense of the word and the price is too high at this stage. My thumbs-up but only as a down payment! And with high hopes. hopes. HOPES!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →With the new update I'm changing my review, the addition of a proper economy brings it up to a point where it feels like a game in the realm of others in this style. It led me to experiment further with mechanics that were already there and realized I'd missed some things. I am very stoked to see where this game goes. With that said, I am looking forward to adjustments to the enemies, most notably their tracking. The enemies themselves are solid, but some of their pathing is janky. They'll…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →the game is beautiful and the graphics are amazing the only game input I'd have is to make the throw have a charge up or to introduce a stun or a melee weapon
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a game...?!
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Drunk a bottle in the pub, turned into a turd, already its really fun especially with friends
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game is pretty good. Lots for the devs to work with, the game is a dimond in the rough. It reminds me of Repo. Here's hoping this gets big.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →best game to mess with your friends -_-
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →++++ Awesome voice acting
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →repo + payday + KF2 + liar's bar = Hazazard Levels ???? hahahaahah ok, i'm ready!!!!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It has its flaws, but also its merits. This is exactly the kind of situation where it’s hard to give a clear-cut answer. On the one hand, but on the other, I haven’t encountered any major bugs or glitches. Another question is: will this game gain popularity? It’s hard to say. There’s *Repo*, *Killing Floor*, *Phasmophobia*, and others. I love indie games. I love co-op games. But I still don’t get the game’s concept. I enjoyed the atmosphere and working together with the team. But I still don’t…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →...easy even for me...I won again
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I fell in love with this game. The design is on the level, there are a lot of game mechanics. Ideally, there is a game mode with a friend (But if there is none, then you can find a random player). How good my friend and I are at this game! We are looking forward to the updates! I'm waiting for the achievements to be added!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It’s not entirely clear yet—is this just another clone or a chart-topper?! BUT IT HAS POTENTIAL! I’m looking forward to its release out of early access! You can already see some glitches (OK, I get that it’s an EA) but I hope they don’t abandon the game, as usually happens... Actually, I can see some AI implementations here, but there isn’t too much of it. I’m just observing... There’s one goal: survive. But don’t do it like Killing Floor. The mechanics here are completely different!
