doubt about the expression " to be off to hell"?

I was reading a review about a game when I came up with this sentence" ok. But the epilogue was off to hell."

Now, Does this expression bring up a negative connotation?

I know it's a silly question, but the following content of the review didn't allow me to understand if the message was positive or negative.

Thank you in advance and have a nice day.

It sounds to me like a British expression. Do you know if it was a review from England?

Yes, "Go to hell" means kill yourself in the blazing fires of hell.
So this epilogue is off to hell because it's so bad.
Or, in other words...
"So this epilogue is off to hell (going to hell) because it's so bad.

    I'm not sure of the context of this review. It could refer to the video game being hellishly difficult.

Hell is where bad people burn for eternity, so going there is not pleasant and hence negative.
