What are some really bonkers versions of Hell?

the original Doom has the whole flesh-walls / screaming-faces thing going on... but the new Doom's version is a bunch of dusty floating rocks and stuff

Painkiller's last level had a cool design

Dante's Inferno, op. They spent more effort on the environments than they did on making the gameplay not tedious and repetitive.

I always like Diablo ' versions of hell / hellish areas in both 2 and 3. Not only were they intensely atmospheric they were also really contrasted well by the heavens area. I mean holy shit just thinking about how varied and elaborate in terms of detail those eviroment were combo'd with the random map generation.

Diablo 3 might have been crap there for awhile until RoS dlc but hot damn did it redeem itself.

Not the other anon, but it's for that very reason that I feel Read Dead absolutely nailed it.

I've never been so certain that something was off, but so uncomfortably uncertain as to the exact nature of what it was.

It was fucking brilliant.

Although I am still a huge fan of flesh walls and satan with a 20 foot dick hell depictions.

Mario 64's Bowser levels.

>the first representation is a deep abyss you fall into, with no escape available in this unknown dark world-- it focuses on the fear of isolation and darkness in general, it is the demonic part
>the second level is the classic hellfire; it represents punishment and pain
>the third level finally shows you the godly aspect of hell; you fight a crowned, rainbow-colored Bowser, that represents enlightenment and divinity in a bizarre way; the overworld is a take on The Divine Comedy, showcasing a twisted, dark parody of heaven itself, hence its apparent place being in the "skies"

>In Greek mythology, the river Phlegethon (Φλεγέθων, English translation: "flaming") or Pyriphlegethon (Πυριφλεγέθων, English translation: "fire-flaming") was one of the five rivers in the infernal regions of the underworld, along with the rivers Styx, Lethe, Cocytus, and Acheron. Plato describes it as "a stream of fire, which coils round the earth and flows into the depths of Tartarus".

The Abrahamic version is taken from the Greeks.
