The expiration date on this game has long past. Running around a 3-D environment and shooting slow-moving enemies used to be fun, when Doom first showed up. Now, it's boring. To make matters worse, Hexen looks too dated. Today's first-person perspective shooters have higher-res graphics, cooler effects and less pixelization. Hexen does offer one thing not found anywhere else: a choice of different characters to play as. This helps a little bit: it adds variety and replay value (but once you beat the game, would you want to play it again as a different player? Probably not). Unless you need another Doom game, skip Hexen.

Way back in 1995 Hexen made its debut on the PC, and it offered a refreshing update to the then-popular Doom engine. Players were set loose in a system of central “hubs” that made exploring levels more challenging, were given the ability to use spells and fly, and could choose among three distinct characters to play. Now in 1997, Hexen in all its glory has made its way to the Saturn, and unfortunately, its age shows.
