” …Speaking of randomly generated, Hellgate, the pseudo successor to Diablo and its sequel carries on the lineage of randomly generated loot, monsters, and (as I already said) zones. This can be a double edged sword, though, as you might enter a location and be face to face with a legendary boss right off the bat, or worse yet be forced to backtrack endlessly to locate a dropped quest item you missed. Locales range from side tunnel networks, fire-blasted city thoroughfares, and store rooms with more boxes than you can shake a copy of Doom II at. As the story progresses you’ll also become familiar with hellgates themselves which offer a glimpse into how the other half lives. Beware though, some of the minions you encounter in there may require a little more than the few hundred rounds you pumped into them to fall.”

А тим часом на офіційному сайті Hellgate London з`явилося повідомленя, що новий патч v0.6 з`явиться на цьому тижні.
Що воно таке:
“Patch 0.6 has one very notable fix – the invisible group member bug has been slain. This was a crafty, fierce thing with rows of nasty sharp teeth, but we believe it has now fallen into the mists of legend. We’ll stay vigilant in case it raises its ugly invisible head again.

As always, we’re reading the forums, getting your feedback, and seeing your desires for Hellgate. The biggest issue we’re currently working on is the client-side memory usage issue. This is very complex and involved, and we also know that it’s a major issue for users. We’re pouring all of our energies right now into working on the game, so if you don’t see us reply to your posts it doesn’t mean we aren’t listening. It just means we’re working hard to make Hellgate: London a better and better experience.”

Похваливши загалом, IncGamers розкритикувала Hellgate London за дуже велику кількість багів. Оцінка 7.5/10.
“…You play Hellgate as a character who uses weapons and/or spell casting to fight off countless waves of bad guys. Each monster you kill has a random chance at dropping something. The something dropped could be currency, weapons, armor or various other potentially useful items. You can then pick up the items and use or sell them. That, in a nut shell, is what you will spend most of your time actively doing in Hellgate. Sound boring? Just see if you can stop. I mean, at 2 am , when your eyes are drying from staring at the computer screen you swore 3 hours ago you would only spend 5 more minutes staring at, just try to go to sleep. If you are like me (and I do not say this with pride) you will dream of the game when you finally do stop…

…I must painfully point out that, while Diablo (I and II) is my favorite game series of all time, it was not met with universal acclaim when it hit store shelves (in some cases receiving 7 or 8 out of 10). Hellgate seems to be receiving similarly (although a bit lower) rating thus far. I understand that it is frustrating to have games released that are not perfect (but what game ever really is?). If stability is the main factor in rating a game, I would agree that Hellgate deserves some low marks. However, if the true mark of a game is the ability to entertain and keep you drawn in, Hellgate is a semi-flawed gem that, once polished and patched, will be played by some for a very long time.”
