Great piece so far!

Played the first two bosses so far and I am getting this huge Dark Souls 1 vibes from this one. Remember the clunky controls from DS1? You got it. Gotta get good to progress. The setting feels huge compared to DS titles - a lot of secrets everywhere. So if you don't mind the DS1 like control scheme (+similar graphics), as compared to the incredibly fluid ones as in DS3, this one feels like a keeper.

Solid Soulslike

I got this game in a GOG giveaway (in maybe 2020?), and it was the first soulslike game I played. A few months before Elden Ring came out, I decided to give the whole genre a try before deciding if I wanted to play ER, and this was the only game I had. I'm grateful this was my entry into the genre, though. Hellpoint's combat is easier than any Dark Souls/Elden Ring game, but I'm so bad at them anyway that it was a significant challenge. Where Hellpoint excels is in the world design. The Irid Novo space colony has an interconnected world, interesting architecture to look at, and varied locations. It nails this aspect of soulslikes that is really missing from many other games in the genre. I liked the game so much that I bought the Supporter Pack and Blue Sun DLC. The DLC was also good and adds more interconnectivity to the game's levels. I'm glad I played this game, as it gave me at least a few skills that have translated well to other soulslikes. It's not perfect, but I found it to be a more enjoyable experience than games like Lords of the Fallen, The Surge 1/2, and some of the other soulslike games.

Clunky at Best

This game's atmosphere is just... wow. Beautiful game at every turn. The singularity in the sky at the observatory was a goosebump worthy experience. However, for the aesthetics a heavy price is paid. The gameplay sucks horridly. Here's a sum up: PROS: -Beautiful atmosphere -Fantastic sound design -Really good graphics (i'm playing on 1440p) with unique artistic style CONS: -Level design is maze like -There are countless fall traps in the most random locations (i.e between doorways, just after elevators, even in the middle of a normal ass room). The fall traps between doorways pissed me off the most -The vast majority of deaths don't feel deserved (for the reasons below) -Enemy attacks are horribly telegraphed -Status effects are near instant death -Enemy jumpscares are straight cheesy -Way too many bugs -Bosses are clunky -Controls are clunky, even on controller I wouldn't buy this game, but if you wanna waste some time, play it for free.

Captures the feeling of Dark Souls

Some context, to help potential buyers with a decision: while I'm a big fan of Demon's Souls and Dark Souls 1, I never truly enjoyed the other FromSoftware games, as I felt they were missing some fundamental aspects of what made the first two Souls games great. Of all the Soulslikes I've played over the years, Hellpoint comes closest to capturing the original lightning-in-a-bottle. It's got a great setting, interesting lore, good combat (not too fast-paced) and big levels with lots of details and secrets. It never gets boring or outstays it's welcome, and there is a whole bunch of stuff to uncover. The levelling system is ok. The levels are fantastically interconnected, unfortunately not as majestic as those from the original Dark Souls, mainly due to the setting and the game taking place in a closed environment. Like with Dark Souls and Demon's Souls, the average gamer should glance at a beginner's guide before the first play-through, just to get a better sense of the game's mechanics and progression and to avoid some common progression pitfalls (like when to use Breach Synchronisers or how to access some more obscure questlines). I've not played this in multiplayer, so I can't attest to the couch or online co-op. I've noticed the game getting quite a bad rep from online critics, which actually put me off from starting the game, but there seems to be some pervading misunderstanding on what this game actually is and how it should be played. So if you're at all interested, try not to look to much into the bad reviews floating around, and give this a shot.

Competent soulslike, excellent world map

If you're into the exploration part of Dark Souls this is the game for you. It features a deeply interconnected map with tons of optional areas and secrets, and exploring it and discovering all the shortcuts between areas was a joy for me. Some of the early areas look a bit bland but they're all visually distinct and memorable, and the enemies look pretty cool and the designs have a somewhat buddhist inspiration to them. The audio is not exceptional but still pretty serviceable. The combat has a few twists on the Dark Souls formula but it's more or less the same though but fair ordeal. I found it challenging enough, but you can find some items in the world that you can use to make an area harder or easier, and there's a weird system where if the area of the station you're in is currently facing the black hole it's orbiting around, the enemies will be thougher and yield better loot. Overally very solid game and deserves more attention. I got it for free out of curiosity but I really enjoyed my time with it and I'm looking forward to whatever Cradle Games is doing next.
