HELLGATE: London

Want to fight a boss that regenerates every time it hits 10% HP? How about one that spawns 15+ adds every time you get near it? This game is not fun to play, certainly not in this form. No multiplayer of any kind, endgame content was never implemented, won't work for London 2038, and there's a very good chance that enemy modifiers are bugged in various ways.

Still One of the Best Games out there --Despite the Limitations-- a Classic that still delivers.

I really remember the original Hellgate: London fondly, and I felt nostalgic. I was surprised to find it available on Steam and quickly bought it. It was cool to revisit, and I found this version of the game fun enough. I modded it with DLSS 5 injection, and it looks great! It wasn't that hard to spend 10 hours in the game. I enjoyed the nostalgia enough to wonder what multiplayer was like, since I never tried it back in the day. And I managed to buy an original copy of the 2007 DVD of Hellgate. I had heard stories about the Steam version being worse, but the direct comparison from playing this version for 10 hours, and now playing the original for 5 hours after... the original really is so much better that it is shocking how it is being sold in this state. Flagship had great artists, and the game assets look great. The Steam version of these textures are all compressed, lack contrast, and have weird pink spots on them, on any detail setting. I was surprised at how much worse the shading is in this version, compared to the original. The lighting doesn't light for as far of distances, and anything that flickers does so more slowly. The itemization is so different: You get a lot mor…

Great game

Unplayable

Satisfies the 'good VS evil' itch in a closed (not massive multiplayer) setting. It could remind one of Diablo in some ways. I think this game could be successful if reworked/updated and re-released.
