No More Room in Hell 2 on Metacritic

Checking the Metacritic score

No More Room in Hell 2 has a Metacritic presence covering its PC (Steam) and PS5/Xbox releases, tracking critic and user scores as they accumulate. Because scores update as reviews land — and this site doesn't republish numbers we can't independently verify — the Metacritic page itself is the authoritative source for the current rating.

What the review conversation consistently says

Across post-1.0 reviews and community verdicts (August 2026), the critical themes are stable:

Praised:

• Atmosphere and tension — lighting, fog, dark interiors and sound design built for old-school zombie horror
• Meaningful permadeath — character-tied progression making survival matter, softened by 1.0's rescue beacons
• Co-op design — where getting separated from the team is a genuine problem, in an 8-player ecosystem
• 1.0 improvements — a major optimization round plus Steam Deck support
• Gunplay — solid, with balanced ammunition

Criticized:

• Melee inconsistency — hits not always connecting or registering reactions
• Repetitive objectives — progress-bar holds and repeated item searches within missions
• Solo limitations — Solo Training Mode lacks progression and permadeath

These themes come from the full review breakdown in our review roundup, built on Jerry Plays' 1.0 review (239K+ views) and community verdicts.

Context: from Early Access to 1.0

The game spent its Early Access period iterating publicly (with periodic character wipes), and the 1.0 "Armageddon" launch (August 2026) was the developer's polish milestone — including the optimization round reviewers noted. That history shapes what reviewers reward: ambition and co-op design over technical perfection.
