Stop “reimagining” things ffs, just make a remaster of the original. Got this game on discount for $7 which I know I shouldn’t ask much for that price but still, having played the original as a kid, I simply cannot recommend this game for the following reasons: Pros: I like the fact that this game is simple, it does not have 1 trillion microtransactions/cosmetics, stupid game currency system or overcomplicated game mechanics. The graphics is okay and the game is well optimized. Cons: Obviously the original was way better, the main selection of characters is super weak and their lore seems weak as well, as for the maps/enemies are super generic and lazy. In the original you had maps with specific themes symbolizing events in human history which brought great destruction and human suffering, from WW1 and WW2 battles to the Atomic Bomb. These maps had a lot of symbolism, for example the Atomic Bomb map was named literally Hell and showed the destruction of the Japanese city of Hiroshima, the enemies are also Japanese soldiers, same goes for the WW1/WW2 maps with a variety of German and Russian soldiers and officers (with accurate weapons for their respective armies like MP40 and PSSH) and the maps were consistent with certain battles like Leningrad etc. The maps on this game however feels soulless, lazy and repetitive, the enemies are also super generic and are not consistent with a specific theme, for example the first mission I’ve played happened in a mine (it’s not explained why a mine or what happened there and there is zero symbolism there) and the enemies are literally just generic zombies, at least you could’ve make the enemies miners or something, and give that place a bit of background (like using a real life disaster which happened in a coal mine and explain it through details, dialogues...etc.) but ofc they didn’t, it’s just there and makes zero sense and its lazy. Conclusion: If you need a simple co-op shooter I guess for $7 it’s alright, but if you played the originals as a kid and you’re expecting something similar but with updated graphics then nah, not recommended. Wasted potential.

В игре катастрофически мало контента. Мало оружия, мало карт, мало героев. Попытка из Painkiller сделать игру сервис провалилась. В ней просто нечего делать. И как факт мёртвый онлайн.

Painkiller ist ein grafisch ansprechender Single/Multiplayer First Person Shooter der mit guter englischer Vertonung und sattem Sound gefallen kann. Einzelspieler können mit Bots spielen, die aber keine große Hilfe sind. Puristen stört das dieses Spiel mit dem Original Painkiller sehr wenig zu tun hat, aber damit kann ich leben. Sollte der Preis in einem Sale angemessen erscheinen, wird dieses Spiel zur Empfehlung.

The way people talk about the original painkiller in negative reviews of this game you'd think that entire game was the final stretch in hell (represented as wartorn locations from history) and not a game that also has you shooting up grannies in a cemetery or ninjas in an opera house or zombie soldiers in a train station or what about the goofy carnival the expansion pack takes you to. If anything, this new painkiller couldve stood to have had more of the gonzo anything goes vibe the original & overdose had. At the end of the day I dont really play the painkiller games for the story. What matters is: am I having fun shooting dudes up for a few hours? Are the weapons a little wacky? And in this game, much like the original, the answer is yes. The 3 boss fights are a ton of fun too. They should have had the solo mode at launch, and theres enough unique arenas in the roguelike mode its a wonder they didn't string them into a fourth set of levels, but as it is I think the game is a no brainer on sale.

I didn't even get through the prologue. The game completely broke my low expectations and the Painkiller name... I guess I should have read all those negative reviews. I ended up refunding a $10 game. RIP PAINKILLER.

I am a big fan of the original Painkiller, and have very fond memories playing it. Some of the expansions were also decent - not as great as the original, but definitely playable. Therefore, despite the negative reviews, I wanted to give this game a shot. After about an hour, it became clear that I wouldn't enjoy this at all. The only thing I liked is that they tried to stay faithful to the original weapons: the stake launcher, the painkiller weapon, the electrodriver are all there and they are revamped in an okay way. But that's it. They tried to make this into a co-op shooter, which severely takes the atmosphere away. The locations I encountered until when I stopped playing were meh, the enemies were already becoming repetitive after half an hour, the miniboss encounters felt stupid and tedious (shocking them until you can one-tap kill them), the story is non-existent and the gameplay is also a failure. Which should be very hard to do, because making a proper boomer shooter only requires getting a handful of things right. I was hoping to at least hear some metal music that made Painkiller such a fantastic game, but nope. Well, at least I can't say that I didn't try. I requested a refund.

this isn't painkiller, they gutted the story and welded on a 4-player co-op mode instead, so what's left is a generic corridor grinder that could be reskinned into any other coop shooter without anyone noticing. it's left 4 dead and doom eternal had a kid nobody asked for, and the kid inherited neither parent's charm. purgatory looks fine, plays hollow, nothing here feels like painkiller except the name on the box. matches barely fill, grind sets in by hour two. they bought a legendary name and forgot to buy the game that went with it. not even the original metal music style was reintroduced. shame on you, developers! rest in peace 2004 painkiller, you deserved better than this reheated fever dream. 2/10, wouldn't buy again.

This game is deeply corrupted with Live Service elements, that I only played one mission before uninstalling and refunding. I had zero desire to continue playing because the Live Service that's so deeply rooted into the games mechanics means I'll be grinding the same boring mission for the same random stuff that do next to nothing. Content is thin, gameplay loop is incredibly boring because there's no replayability because the live services force you to replay not because it's actually fun. Which it isn't, because all you're doing is the same objective in a different arena.
