The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.
“On the basis of Hexen 2, I'm glad this was just a trilogy of games. Heretic was fantastic, the two Hexen games are not, with H2 being a series of "fetch" quests with minimal excitement and irritating puzzles. The end boss is the spongiest…”
