If you love hoarding stuff and don't mind repetition, Hellgate: London is a really neat but often uneven game that will probably keep you busy for at least a month or two, even if you don't subscribe. But, for many, the game's issues will be a real deal breaker. If you're on the fence, you might want to watch the game's patch notes to see how many technical glitches, as well as other annoyances, are cleared up.
The second is at YouGamers with an overall score of 71/100:
To be honest, Hellgate: London is a disappointment. Unfinished, unpolished, monotonous and offering poor value for money with the subscription scheme. Yet it kind of grows on you over time. If you like the Diablo-style item hunt across randomly generated maps, by all means do check out the demo - just dial down your expectations.
The third is at ActionTrip with an overall score of 75/100:
Sure Hellgate: London has many features that are found in the Diablo series but they have not made a Diablo clone. The games could be called kissing cousins but for all its downsides, HG:L can be an addicting experience. FlagShip Studios has an uncertain road ahead of them. It remain to be seen whether they will prove to players that paying $9.95 a month is worth it by delivering some good content. If not, that one item may be the holy water that banishes Hellgate: London.
And the fourth is at Spectrum Online with no overall score:
So far, I must admit. I'm hooked. This is not a deep, tactical game -- at least not as far as I've progressed. One can easily jump in and get going. There is a story, but it is forgettable and peripheral. But the progression of abilities and loot feels just right. And it's hard to stop playing.
