Dec. 2024

Painkiller Hell and Damnation is a retro arcade shooter which harkens back to the days of old for first person shooters. Cut your ways through mindless hordes of enemies using an array of guns and strafing. Overall the game is visually appealing and the cutscenes are very well done in terms of conveying what minimal story the game has. And this is the games main fault, in essence its story is very minimalistic, not that it represents a genre strong in this regard but if a first person shooter is to be centralized around single player gameplay then the main story should be engaging. Multiplayer is also an option with this game although it seems an afterthought. Regardless this game delivers on action and is a fast paced shooting experience. Recommended for casual play or those wanting to pick up something that will take them back to the older days of FPS.

far from a flawless game, but it's so video game, I was a bit disappointed at the "normal" rocket launcher weapon with a "boring" chaingun alt-fire because the weapons are that wacky. emperor of slavjank, polska doskonałość

Sept. 2024

Painkiller: Hell & Damnation remains a timeless classic, delivering unadulterated gaming bliss. A refreshing throwback to an era where games focused solely on entertainment, free from extraneous distractions. A true testament to the power of straightforward, skill-driven gameplay, this title continues to captivate audiences with its intense action and uncompromising challenge. If you're seeking an unapologetically fun gaming experience, look no further.

overall decent. story is short, you can beat it in two days. Get all the DLC. This game is a nice remix of levels and some of the challenges are fun. The cutscene in the train station is funny. I think the decision to sell the original game levels as DLC was a bad move. There is also no connection to Overdose, Resurrection or the others. You may like it, you may hate it. It's cheap and not a bad spend for $15. Or you can ignore me. I like it though.

May 2024

This game, reminiscent of classic shooters like Doom and Duke Nukem with a modern twist, delivers a blast of pure, unadulterated fun – albeit in a short-lived package. While the campaign lacks depth and narrative complexity, the inclusion of massive DLC packs (albeit lacking narrative connection and replayability) extends the experience considerably. However, the slicing of content into DLC feels like a blatant cash grab. The absence of inventory management, resource gathering, quick-time events, and even a reload button creates a streamlined focus on pure action. It's a "you vs. them" experience that's undeniably enjoyable in short bursts. Unfortunately, the online multiplayer seems deserted, making co-op a friend-dependent affair.
