Hellpoint rips the soul from what constitutes the soulslike genre, devours it, and then regurgitates you a half-digested, wretched abomination of a game. Most bosses are recycled elites and brutes, the controls are clunky as hell, and all regions are literal mazes. At some point the game gets an identity crisis and decides it wants to be a platformer. You are then forced to go through platforming sections as if you were fvcking Mario.
The allegedly not watered down multiplayer is indeed watered down. The other player can't interact with key items or operate most doors. If the host dies, the other player dies too. Very frustrating.
Hellpoint has some interesting mechanics and ideas, but the unpolished gameplay outweighs all positive aspects of the game. It truly is wasted potential. Hellpoint is hella bad to the point of no redemption. Play Mortal Shell instead.… Expand
