Hellpoint Reviews
Hellpoint makes no bones about it, It’s a Dark Souls game through and through. It is also a very good Dark Souls type game with a really good setting and satisfying combat, it’s hard not to fall in love with it all.
All in all, the game is challenging, beautiful, horrifying, exciting, and exhilarating in all the ways players want from a game of this genre.
Hellpoint is a great Souls game that will keep you entertained for hours. You have a large variety of armor, weapons and enemies. The combat system is not too complex, but not too demanding, so it is a good choice for beginners. This title really deserves a place in your library, and if you like these types of games, it's almost a must. Hellpoint will definitely offer you more mechanics and keep you entertained for longer than, for example, Mortal Shell.

Hellpoint is an excellent take on the Souls-like formula that incorporates some fresh new ideas despite a few hiccups.
Hellpoint is a stellar souls-like, so much, in fact, that I don’t believe it to be an inspired child of its parent games. It can stand alongside titles like Dark Souls as an equal, matching its quality pound for pound. If the technical issues can be put to bed in a post-release patch, that fact will be cemented within the game’s legacy.
Hellpoint is, mechanically, a typical game in the Dark Souls genre. However, the sci-fi theme is really what separates it from other games. Although the upgrade systems aren’t always intuitive and the game has a few other minor issues, the unique enemies and story make up for it. Hellpoint is a hard game but well worth the struggle.
Cosmic gods, interdimensional entities and space stations orbiting black holes. Sounds like my kinda sci-fi party, if I spent the night with a ‘kick me’ sign on my back as well.
Hellpoint is far from a bad game. In fact, it more than holds its own in the genre and gripped me a lot better than Demon’s Souls (PS3) did when I started playing that. It does the important parts extremely well and despite not being as pretty or as popular as other games out there, it’s a really solid entry. The platforming required adds unnecessary difficulty but the combat, the co-op, story and bosses are all brilliantly implimented. The story is slowly drip-fed, making it not the easiest to follow, but there’s enough there for you to eventually make sense of it – more so than Bloodborne, in my experience anyway. The addition of the timed features in the game is an interesting addition to the genre and one that I think should be used more in the future.
Hellpoint is an interesting entry to the popular Souls-like genre and I think it is one worth playing. I wish it was more clear on the rules of the world and I'm not a fan of fast travel being restricted. Still, the black hole and rewarding exploration make Hellpoint a fun and rewarding game.
Hellpoint is certainly cut from the all-too-familiar Souls cloth when it comes to character progression and combat, but it's the sense of exploration that makes this one Soulslike that shouldn't be missed.
Quebec City based developers, Cradle Games, didn’t hold back showing where the roots and inspiration behind their recent title, Hellpoint, had originated. As someone who has sunk A LOT of hours into the Dark Souls games, I was pretty excited to see what this one had to offer, and if it was worthy enough to be placed among the ranks of this newer ‘genre’.
Hellpoint offers us a light and entertaining soulslike with a sci-fi theme and enemies everywhere. The handling of the character is quite pleasant and the different novelties that are included to give it a distinctive touch take effect. On the other hand, the set design and visual style are not up to par with what would be expected from a game of this type.

I finished Hellpoint recently and i must say that it is a genuine Souls-like with enough content and some different elements from souls series. Boss fights a re really amazing and the world is full of mysteries and challenge. There are some big problems like awful system of collecting your souls after dead (that in 90% of times place your souls in locations you can't reach ever and it's really important in a game that souls are everything ), unbalanced difficulty level in many parts of the game (that really can make you leave the game) and long loading scenes after your death (it is really important in a game like this that you die over and over again), but in the end, Hellpoint is a game that every Souls fan should experience.

Hellpoint may not ultimately stick in the memory long after you're done, but it's a solid enough challenge that will keep fans of the genre busy for a while.
Despite being a bit basic in terms of combat and controls, Hellpoint is a good action-RPG, with a interesting universe, a nice level design, a cool cooperative splitscreen mode.

Prepare to Die... IN SPAAAAAAAAAACE!
Hellpoint is a fun game that presents a well-balanced challenge with many secrets and areas to explore, but it lacks in visual appeal and suffers from persistent performance issues.

If Dark Souls were set in space, it would be Hellpoint, a strong souls-like marred only by its similarities to so many others in its genre.
If you are a Souls fan, you should definitely try Hellpoint. It is clunky at times, but absolutely fun to explore.
