While we would all want Zero Punctuation to review Hellgate London, we weren’t so lucky. However the Escapist online Magazine has plenty of qualified reviewers and one of them, Adam LaMosca had the pleasure of playing through Hellgate for over 30 hours now.
He has similar views to say that many other reviews have done, however he goes on to say that with polish HGL could potentialy be great.
It might be stuck with the lackluster review scores prompted by its problematicHis negative views of the game are the usual bugs, lack of environments as well as a small stash and lightness of features. He does however finish with this:
retail release, but Hellgate still has the potential to become a worthy
successor to Diablo.
Hellgate’s obviously premature release earned a lukewarm critical reception
that, given numerous recent bug fixes, may already be undeserved. Even in its
current state, it’s an appealing, rewarding, and addictive game. With a bit more
fine-tuning its out-of-the box online component would be well worth the retail
price. Were Flagship to completely iron out the wrinkles and start delivering
some genuinely interesting exclusive content, Hellgate’s subscription service
could eventually become a no-brainer.
