Want to love it but can't

Mix in some Dark Souls with a little bit of cinema like Prometheus and Event Horizon, and it makes this. Hellpoint looks awesome, feels awesome and it has a lot going for it. But, there's so much grind, so much dying, do much wandering and collecting and wandering the same ground over and over and grinding away (has the grind been mentiond?) And the player is lost from the start and remains so for a long time. Just, lost and losing and repeating over and over and occasionally getting a little bit further along before the next insurmountable roadblock comes along. Visually super cool, atmospherically incredible and has some great game features but, if your into masochism, this one's for you.

A missed opportunity

PROS: - setting, this game just blends sci-fi and occult in the most perfect way - combat (when not ruined by issues) is very "meaty" and tactical - random events (pay attention to that "clock" in the top left) add new level of terror to an already difficult game - loot CONS: Well I'll rather describe it here why I gave up on it even though it was the most interesting "souls" game to me; A.I. is often stupid in a way that it runs towards you in a straight line and gets stuck, platforming parts of map are sometimes problematic because character control lacks finesse for precision movement, but the worst; I uninstalled on 3rd boss (first double trouble). There are still glitches there when the one that can do ranged attacks can sometimes shoot through the walls. This made me very angry as combat makes no sense when unfair; died 2 times to study their patterns (2nd time ranged shot through walls) and then on the 3rd try he could should through the walls again, did my best to avoid (I'm not a Souls newbie) and died as 1 boss was down and their total health had only 10% left. Then I died because I rushed still frustrated from glitch in previous try and 5th time it happened again and that's when I decided it's not worth it with all the good points. In conclusion even with visible smaller budget, this game would be an easy recommendation and 4/5 IF issues were fixed.

Less Dark Souls more Dull/Dumb Souls

Store page makes the game look good. Especially the concept images they show in the description. This is NOT what the game looks or plays like! Initially game seems good. Visuals kind of remind you of Hellgate London. Mystery about who you are and whats going on. You're curious to explore and find out whats happening. Within a short time it starts to fall apart and it just gets worse. Combat is easy but feels pretty good and is fun. But... The camera is AWFUL! If you're fighting multiple enemies or in a narrow space you'll typically have a camera view of only your characters back or inside your character model. If you or the enemy are on stairs or a ramp one of you will have their hits not register. Enemy AI glitches out and gets stuck. Bosses will bug out and do nothing. I even had one main boss actually fall out of the level and die before I even saw them! Blocking is sporadic. The same enemy and the same attack. Sometimes it blocks it sometimes it doesn't. Enemies sometimes randomly have invulnerabilty for no discernable reason. Enemies are solid and push you around, often this can result in you being stuck waist deep in the ground unable to do anything. The games lighting varies between extremely dark or stupidly bright washed out overbloom. The main thing that will kill you is gravity. You'll fall a lot. The game is stuff full of annoying fatal jumping puzzles. Made worse by the games awful platforming. Your character sometimes won't jump when you try or will randomly stop sprinting even on flat ground. Worst is that the developers use jumping puzzles CONSTANTLY! No rhyme or reason. Just jumps everywhere. If you turn a corner or go down a dark hall except a sudden drop. Always. The story is a jumbled mess. It seems like they couldn't decide what story they wanted so just did all of them. They try so hard to make it vague and enigmatic that its just forgetable. The true final boss is worst designed and balance boss ever.

Not fun or interesting

This game has a couple moderately interesting ideas but they're few and far between. "Dark souls in space" sounds fun, but pass on this one. Whether you are a souls fan or not, I think you'll be disappointed. -Very, very, VERY confusing and repetitive area design with artificially limted fast travel -Clunky, plodding, repetitive combat -Parkour elements in some places, but jumping is clunky and slippy and if you fall you die Really I can't overstate how repetitive everything is. You fight the same five enemies over and over and over again. Every area is like those 3D mazes you have to get a ball bearing through, it's just torturous. You might finally get somewhere only to take a door you had no idea was one-way until you end up on the other side, or use up all your fast travel unlocks and get stuck in some huge empty zone that takes an hour to get out of. The game is alternately frustrating and boring and worst of all, unrewarding. It's not a *hard* game, it's just not fun to play. I got this game for free and honestly wish I hadn't installed it.

Good

Not, I would give 5 out of 5 stars, buth my main gripe is the optimization. PC version is more up-to-date, but consoles have been completely forgotten. Even here, there are occasional crashes/glitches which could easily get fixed if developers were more active. Though, they're setting up an expansion, the Blue Sun DLC. MAjor points are to the atmosphere and sound effects, while the combat is ok-ish, with tons of customization. Difficulty is high at the beginning, mostly due the huge sense of exploration given by the jump mechanic, something which souls-like rarely add to their core. Is it worth it? I'd say yes, but only if on sale.
