Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking a short, linear adventure may find the open world and optional secrets too sprawling

- Players looking for a primarily non-combat science-fiction experience
Our take on Hellpoint
Its broad interconnected world trades a tightly directed route for freedom of exploration. Real-time station events also make encounters less fixed, which suits players who want changing conditions but gives up some predictability in the campaign’s pacing.
What is Hellpoint?
Explore Irid Novo, a derelict space station orbiting a black hole after a quantum cataclysm.
The interconnected colony contains hidden routes, secrets, and mysteries that can be approached in any order. Combat uses melee and ranged weapons, armor, and weapon abilities that develop through use. Character building supports different play styles. The station’s real-time orbit triggers changing events, including boss appearances, horde attacks, and altered enemy statistics and positions. The story follows a Spawn of the Authority investigating the catastrophe known as the Merge and the role of the Cosmic Gods. Play alone, in split-screen multiplayer, or online with friends. Cooperative play supports the full game, shared loot, and saved progress for the second local player.
