Hellpoint ps4 review5/17/2023 ![]() I am a huge fan of science fiction, and Hellpoint brings something novel in the form of a sci-fi Souls-like which immediately caught my attention. The environments are colorful and vibrant, while maintaining the exceptional supernatural sci-fi vibe. Another thing that Hellpoint excels at is world-building. Combat has such an ebb and flow in Hellpoint, and feels developed and rewarding. For example, the various options there are to upgrade your weapons and armor, or that every melee attack will help to charge both your energy (used for ranged weapons and power ups) and your healing item. It is extremely challenging and embraces fully the Souls-like combat and RPG mechanics. Hellpoint lives and breathes this energy. There is a challenge and an immense catharsis when you finally beat a boss in a Souls-like game. Sekiro caused me to change that perspective and taught me about how rewarding Souls-like games can be. My perspective had been that they were rage inducing, as you couldn’t save and every action (jump, roll, and attack) required use of stamina. I have had an aversion to Souls-like titles in the past. I saw the critical praise Sekiro received and wanted to see what all the fuss was about, and it did not disappoint. ![]() I only recently delved into the Souls-like world with Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. You are greeted by The Author, who tasks you with gathering information on an event known as ‘The Merge’, saving Irid Novo, and learning its secrets. In Hellpoint, you are born (or created) on the space station Irid Novo, orbiting an ominous black hole. It is a supernatural, hard sci-fi, Souls-like, action Role Playing Game (RPG). Hellpoint comes from developer Cradle Games, and is published by Tinybuild. Praise the sun! Dark Souls, I mean… Hellpoint is now available. ![]()
