    Love, love, love this game. True there are some frustrating issues with frame rate and jumping that will have you tearing your hair out but that doesn't change the fact that this is a wonderful game to play, just like the Dark Souls games in that you don't want the game to end. When the last achievement popped in this game I felt sad that it was over. Well done developers!!!!

    I don't always agree with reviews, but I generally understand why someone might disagree with my take. Hellpoint reviews... confuse the hell out of me. This is one of my favorite junior soulslikes and I think the people who didn't like it aren't really looking for a Souls"like".

I think maybe (just maybe, as I really don't get the complaints) they're either looking for something for children, or they're looking for an exact copy of dark Souls. I highly recommend it. It's got tons of interesting gameplay innovations, It's utterly beautiful, the level design is unlike any other Souls game, and it has a horror vibe that most other scifi Souls games don't even attempt. Controls are great, i just adore it. My only complaint is that the omnicube BADLY NEEDS A BETTER EXPLANATION FOR NOOBS. My first play through i was so frustrated with just equipping it and trying to make it work predictably. Maybe I merely missed something, cuz I couldn't even find one online. Which must mean others didn't have that problem. Anyway, killer game. Expand

    If you’re a Souls fan, you’ll most likely enjoy Hellpoint, as long as you can handle its lack of polish and extremely janky platforming. It would have been easy to write off Hellpoint as a simple Souls knock off, and I almost did until I found a friend to play alongside. It’s unforgiving in every aspect and doesn’t hold your hand in any way, something Souls fans will appreciate. The co-op feature makes it much more accessible for casual fans of the genre like myself, but there’s enough content within to really test yourself with for those accustomed to difficult challenges.

    A dark and terrifying adventure that many may go into, but only a few survive. The good is met with the bad, evening out the quality to being pretty decent. While the design of enemies and combat are great, the flaws (in my opinion) lay in the confusing areas and much too well-hidden secrets. The lack of resources that would allow you to travel hinders the overall experience. No map, limited fast travel, and zero direction on what to do next will be confusing enough to stop you from completing the game. Is it difficult? Yes, but not all in the sense of combat. It’s difficult to continue on with the journey because of hurdles that slow down the pacing. I thought leveling up was great and dying only made me try harder. However, doing simple tasks like dismantling items or picking your next weapon was a chore.

    So if you're looking for an experience similar to Dark Souls, but with a different story and a great exploration factor, Hellpoint is your game.
