Fans of the masochist-games genre have been enjoying Hellpoint for the past few months. The Souls-like game by the small developer Cradle Games enjoyed an average to positive reception from fans. However, a lot of criticism was focused on the technical side of the game.
Cradle Games has been working hard to get rid of these issues. They recently released Update 1.05 that fixes a lot of annoying bugs and also added some small new features. The game now has been locked to 30 FPS in consoles. This was done to improve the performance issues at higher frame rates. Players now have the ability to dismount all the weapons. A new ‘Camera Shake’ option has been added to the settings menu and GOG achievements will now unlock as intended. Inventory will not show junk items in them anymore.
The patch notes for the Xbox One version of the update are mentioned below. You can also read the PS4 Patch Notes over here, there are only a few differences between them.
