    I have to say this is a pretty good game despite what the other reviewers say. Yea their is not much of a story and i am not a souls fan at all. But i cant put this down. I really like the feeling of being in space and duking it out. Yes the PS4 might look a little better but i think that graphics are fine and its portable. Give this game a shot.

    Dark sci-fi Hellpoint sits smack-dab in the centre of soulslikes quality-wise. It's not terrible, but it's far from a good one too. Should you wait for a price drop, and a couple of fixes for its technical issues? Frankly, no. The strong atmosphere and cryptic plot have the capacity to provide the incentive to endure the many flaws and keep on playing, but aggravation and plain 'ol boredom will soon ruin everything. IF still willing to try it out, stay away from the Switch port, as it is the worse one yet.

    If you are a fan of Dark Souls and/or Bloodborne and are looking for a soulslike game on the Nintendo Switch then Hellpoint is absolutely for you. It is an expansive world that is destined to be explored with a fair but challenging difficulty. If you’re not so much a fan of this genre then I would say to give this one a miss.

    Hellpoint is a satisfying sci-fi twist in the Soulslike universe, it brings an interesting setting and adds a lot of surprisingly positive mechanics to this gender. On the other hand, the Switch version is a bit lackluster as it comes with unimpressive graphics and general performance issues that compromise the experience for most players who are eager for a great Soulslike experience.
