Hellgate: London – Exodus Novel Review

Despite the fact that the game has been offline for quite some time (except for in Korea), one of the editors at Hellforge felt it was necessary to crank out a scathing review of Exodus, the first of three novels in the Hellgate: London book trilogy.

What is consistent throughout the book is the terrible writing. I can only assume that this was taken from a scanned hand-written manuscript using character recognition technology and then never checked through as an electronic copy. While words are mostly proper english ones, they often make no sense. “hack” appears instead of “back”. “lie” appears where “he” should be, “oven” instead of “over” etc.

Hellgate: London: Exodus showed promise late on, but ultimately was a rather unrewarding read. Avoid it, even as a free borrow. It may be a little late to warn any of you, but hey, nobody warned me!
