Electronic Gaming Monthly ' s 1998 Video Game Buyer's Guide named Hexen the 1997 'Game that Should've Stayed on the PC', commenting that while the Nintendo 64 version was the best of the console ports, all three were poor conversions, and Hexen was too old by the time they were released.

Ce machin n'avait et n'a toujours aucun semblant d'intérêt : un simple cash grab de l'époque risible et inutile.Hexen was released by Probe Entertainment for the Sega Saturn on April 30, 1997.
C'était déjà chiant dans les Doom, ça l'est encore plus ici, même avec les monstres à peine différents des Doom qui vous barrent le chemin régulièrement. Avec les classes au corps-à-corps comme le guerrier, ce jeu doomesque devient aussi confus que grotesque et consiste comme d'habitude à errer dans des niveaux labyrinthiques comme un pauvre hère pour récupérer les clés afin d'ouvrir les portes et ainsi de suite.

The possibility of choosing your character that increases the replayability, the setting and the medieval graphics that look even better than Heretic, the introduction of more interesting puzzles for the Doom engine and a greater importance in object management. This game, in addition to all the news that Heretic brought (which I already reviewed by the way), introduces an open world and the option to jump, which was innovative by the way for the time.

We will never know, but now I will review Hexen, which in my opinion, is how Heretic should have been. First there is the Warrior: strong, fast, With good armor, but mostly fights close-quarter battles with hand weapons. We will never know, but now I Something I never understood is because instead of doing Heretic 2, they made Hexen as a direct continuation. You have a choice of playing three different fighters.
