But that’s something one shouldn’t have to do. If you work out the timing, then you can handle the controls. But with the controls in this game, a leap over a small gap leads to instant death. Like, in any other platformer, I could easily leap over a small gap. This hurts especially in the jumping department as there were too many times I’d die from a simple leap because my timing was off.

Overall, I have to say Hellpoint is a frustratingly sweet experience that even with its drawbacks, I’d still dive right back in again and again.įirst up are the controls–they’re mad quirky! There seems to be a lag when it comes to my button pressing and what happens on screen. But at a medium level, things aren’t so bad. You can’t have the volume up too high for this one or don’t wear headphones with the volume up. Finally, the sounds and effects are disturbingly clear yet extra sharp an example is when automatic doors open and close or when you strike an enemy or surface. Thankfully, with what I have, the game is still playable, though I have some issues I’ll tackle in the next section. So, I know I need more RAM to achieve that quality. The animation on my system was framey, but I’ve seen video where the animation was mad smooth. The innards of the space station are well detailed and the monsters are horrific and imaginative. The graphics are beautiful, especially when you can stare out of a large picture window and view what’s outside. It’s not “toss your controller” upsetting, but there were areas where I had to put down the joypad and step away for a bit. Putting aside the gameplay frustrations I have with Hellpoint, it’s still a beautiful and fun game to play. With that, let’s dive into the TOV Breakdown. And I’ll make a note of that in this review. However, I’ll also point out that my laptop needs more RAM, so my experience may differ from most whose machines have better specs. Hellpoint was a rough ride, but the true difficulty you’ll experience won’t come from the monsters or obstacles, but the gameplay. So, I was sitting on a pile of these things, which then allowed me to level up nicely, making that first area easier to tackle. However, I learned hours in that you get to keep the axion cubes you collect. Also, when you die, you lose axions that you’ve gained. That adds a new level of difficulty to the game. Plus, when you die you’ll face a ghost spawn of yourself, in the area where your body dropped, which will sport the same equipment you had when you died. But finding them is a chore.Īnd getting through this one won’t be a breeze as you’ll face death many times. You can apply axions at breaches, which you can also use them to travel throughout the space station. You can apply a set number of axions towards one of eight stats such as health, stamina, energy and strength. You can also increase your level further increasing your effectiveness by collecting axions from fallen enemies or cubes that also fall from bad guys.

For instance, a sword can lengthen, which will allow you to cause more damage.

These can be modded and improved, plus if you continue using the same weapon, you’ll increase its skill. Yet, you’re not without means for defending yourself as you’re able to find weapons and armor from defeated enemies. But it won’t be easy, as some obstacles and enemies stand in your way. Hellpoint takes place on a dilapidated space station where your character, a spawn, awakens and must find his way out off of this terror-ridden ship. And the first game out of the TOV GameView box that gets to test my PC’s mettle is Hellpoint, an action/RPG similar to Demon's Souls or Dark Souls, only frustrating it’s on a different level.

But now that I’ve picked up a new gaming laptop in the form of an HP Omen 15, I’m no longer hindered with low specs as this new laptop packs the punch needed to take my PC gaming to the next level. Plus, I mostly stayed within the console region. And you’d think in the Val-Cave I’d be up to date. And that’s mainly because my machines weren’t packing enough power. It’s been a while since I’ve dabbled with games on STEAM.
