I actually enjoyed Hexen II more than Hexen and Heretic, mainly because it was a good mix between both, plus the conclusion to the Serpent Rider trilogy was pretty awesome. Eidolon in the end was one of the toughest bosses i've fought in any FPS. |
There's no accounting for tastes. I mainly bash Hexen II because it wasn't as innovative as the first, that at its times was groundbreaking, and its atmosphere of desolation was superbly rendered despite the crude graphics. I agree that its gameplay was good and Eidolon tough, but the level design was pretty average. Also, Hexen II left me less satisfied because I played it after Heretic II, that surprised me as it was the only Third Person Action Adventure I really liked besides Tomb Raider, and it had an even better camera control, never giving problems during fights, and the level design was exceptional. To sum it up what turned me down of Hexen II were level design and atmosphere, I didn't like them, or to put it better, I didn't find them up to the series standard.
