Got it at giveaway

This was my first souls-like and i highly enjoyed it, compared to others in this genre (from what i saw when others played) this is definitly not as hard, it gives a good challange here and there, but nothing too difficultt. Finished it in 19 and a half hours, so not too long nor too short. There isn't a huge variety of amors or weapons. Lots of secrets, hidden nook and cranies. But for someone like me its a great introduction souls game, it was fun.

Incredible exploration-focused Soulslike

I should start by saying that the Fromsoft Soulsborne games are my favourite series, and I love playing similar games. With that said, Hellpoint had, without question, the best sense of exploration in any game I've ever played. There is so much hidden and obscure to discover, uncover and puzzle out, it kept me thoroughly enthralled through multiple playthroughs, across PS4 and Switch. Excited to jump in again on PC, and eagerly awaiting more news on the PS5-native version. Plus, devs are super nice, super approachable and have fantastic tastes in metal.

Ho. Ly. Cow.

First "souls-like" game I've ever played, and I really didn't like it much at first. Hellpoint has the slow-burn, subtle psychology of a Denis Villeneuve film. From frustration with each new element to the moment when it "clicks", there's a lot to enjoy here. Choices in character builds, equipment modifications, and the like are relevant, but the whole thing feels both streamlined and arcane. Sword-fighting humongous spectral creatures on a vast space station orbiting a black hole tens of thousands of years into the future? The bizarre and the conventional sit side-by-side in this blend of dark magical sci-fi futurism.

Underrated

I liked it very much. Most (not all) bugs are history .I had a fluent Gameplay Experience The Atmosphere and Leveldesign is very good, the fights are mostly a bit easier as in DS.

Not worth the money, even if free

Souls-like means that the world and environment are punishing, relentless, and difficult. These factors should not be due to lack of features and options, such as key-binding, or having an in game menu that allows you to close the game that is accessible from any normal (non-cut scene or cinematic) gameplay moment. This game offers none of the above. Further, I saw the option for multiplayer with the rift (only after investigating it did it alert me to what it was). I thought, "Hey, I want to get my feet under me first and try to finish any tutorial like portions before getting my teeth kicked in". Queue action from another player who successfully one shotted me no less than 5 times as I tried to get through portions of the beginning area. I spent half an hour on this game, which was free, and I want a refund of my time, and energy. I cannot express how disappointed I am in this game strongly enough while abiding by the ToS of GOG.
