Fun but buggy
Its fun but pretty outdated gameplay. It's also very buggy.

Boiling Point: Road to Hell
Description
Read about re-release this cult-classic from 18 years ago in our INTERVIEW with Ziggurat Interactive!
“We boil at different degrees.” — Ralph Waldo Emerson
Originally released in 2005, Boiling Point: Road to Hell is back. Revisit this early pioneer in the open-world roleplaying FPS genre. Upon finding out his daughter has been kidnapped in the pseudo-South American country of Realia, Saul Myers, a veteran of the French Foreign Legion, must head to Realia on a rescue mission. Saul must navigate through the Realian Valley; a region full of tropical jungles, farms, villages, and estates. Saul now has to manage to make his way through the landscape while navigating through dicey situations with corrupt politicians and criminal organizations to find his daughter’s whereabouts.
Manage your reputation. While there are no immediate enemies in the game, it is all in how you play. While the natural habitat of Realia can be dangerous, being home to snakes and large predators, there are six factions for Saul to try to satisfy. While these relationships begin neutral, completing missions can raise or lower your reputation with the Realian government, guerrillas, the mafia, native tribes, bandit groups, and even the CIA. But be careful, creating allies can lead to unrest and enemies elsewhere.

Controls so bad, its almost unplayable
I do not take any pleasure beating up an old game like this, that has a genuine commodity of open world realism. While it has many faults. It does have the appeal of being open enough, similar to say Morrowind. But with so many bugs. So much is also lost here. A true rebuilt is needed to bring the mechanics up to modern game expectation. Playing this in 2024, feels like a good proof of concept at best. Playing the stock game is a mess. Playing with fan made patches still cannot make the game better. Graphics do not matter here at all. To some, it may be offputting. But what really breaks everything, is poor controls. So terrible are they, that everything you try to do, feels wrong. Its like trying to drive a car...while you are gagged and hogtied in the back seat of it. Its bad. Then there is the complete lack of logic, to just about every action that makea your character behave insane. Yet no reaction by npc. Eating food as a health restore is on par with medical items. More broken stuff you ask? Pull a weapon outside the bar and kill people, with no reaction. Walk inside and you cant pullout a weapon. Go back outside and keep open the door and throw a grenade inside. Kill people inside annddddd.....casually order a drink wtf!?? It is such a mess. You cant lean left/right. Iron sights view is....another mess. Sorry folks. The entire game is a dumpster fire of could be ground breaking. But just fails from everything not meeting expectation of function. Is it fair to compare to modern games? Yes! Why? Because it feels like nobody had any clue how to design even simple controls. Just adjusting the option settings crashed the game! I dont even want this game for free, having actually played it. You have been warned. The die hard fans rather blow smoke up yer backside, rather than concede it is a broken mess.

Stating to Like This Game
I have no guide for this game. However have been able to die a few times to further my navigation. I'm stilll exspirencing momentary freezes. My CPU is more than adaquate to handle the game. So I'm not quite sure why. The games story is really getting interesting too. Music & sound effects are great. Lots of suprises in both game action & people interactions.
