The idea of having a Souls style game set in space is a pretty kickass one if you ask me, though the technical issues and the way levels are structured is what really holds Hellpoint back. There isn’t really much of anything new it does for the genre, outside of its setting, but it’s still a fun time killer, especially for Souls fan. I will say for those on PS4 you should perhaps wait until more performance patches are issued before attempting. Otherwise, I would say get the PC version if you are wanting a more stable experience.","2024-12-06T06:12:14.843781-05:00","2024-12-29T20:20:33.816897-05:00",{"id":23,"logo":40,"name":41,"slug":42,"tags":43,"bluesky":44,"twitter":45,"youtube":46,"facebook":47,"mastodon":26,"muckrack":26,"claimed_at":26,"description":48,"website_url":49,"score_format":50,"average_score":51,"default_timezone":52,"last_review_date":26,"stats_updated_at":53,"headquarters_city":26,"news_editor_email":54,"platforms_covered":26,"claimed_by_user_id":26,"reviews_this_month":17,"active_authors_count":17,"headquarters_country":26,"reviews_editor_email":54,"editor_in_chief_email":54,"published_authors_count":17,"published_reviews_count":17},"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.criticdb.com\u002Fstorage\u002Fv1\u002Fobject\u002Fpublic\u002Favatars\u002FOutlets\u002FMP1st-Logo.jpg","MP1ST","mp1st","[  \n  'independent',\n  'online_media',\n  'ingestion_pending'\n  ]","mp1st.bsky.social","MPFirst","MP1stTV","MP1st","Your #1 source for breaking news, reports, game updates and patches, and more!
