War is meant to be hell, and inflict as much misery on the enemy as possible to break their will. If a game set out to do that to the players, I am not sure how many positive reviews it woudl be getting. Videogames are meant to be fun, and romanticize war, and the thrill of crushing your enemy under your boot. What helps in doing this, is to have a variety of environments, enemies and things to do, and have it execute well.
There are design and artistic choices that go into picking out what environments a game should take place. Just because Helghast is that, doesn't mean you need to set the game there at all.
