Hellgate: London presents a wonderful story set against an artfully designed world but never goes that extra mile to separate it from the masses. It's unlikely this game will appeal to the masses but is sure to find a strong cult following. Sure, it's more enjoyable than the demo, but it's worth a try before you commit yourself to another MMO.
IGN : Remember Hellgate: London? The dark fantasy action role-playing game came out in 2007 for PC, a year before developer Flagship Studios went bankrupt. Since then, various free-to-play and online revivals have come and gone. Now, 17 years after the release of Hellgate: London, it’s back.
I remember some friends and I all bought Hellgate: London day one because it was made by some original Diablo devs. We had fun playing it, good memories.
PC Invasion: Hellgate: London is back on Steam, but it's not what you expect it to be. It's a single-player game in the vein of Asian MMOs.
Let's take a look at the loot-based shooter that started it all and set the path for Destiny 2 and the Borderlands franchise.
It's a shame Hellgate: London did so poorly. It was an interesting game, and well worth a sequel.
So it's decided that the game is a decent MMO instead of a superb singleplayer RPG like Diablo?

And if they added the review from a MMO perspective, that is kind of old fashioned. Its the whole "Diablo is not a RPG" all over again..
