About Painkiller: Resurrection

✦ AI summary

Painkiller: Resurrection is a fast-paced first-person shooter where you battle through Hell and Purgatory as a dead operative given a second chance to atone for collateral damage, armed with an arsenal of bizarre and inventive weapons. The game combines rock-hard action across classic linear levels and massive explorable regions set in a medieval-inspired underworld influenced by Dante's Inferno, all powered by a revamped engine with advanced physics and particle effects.

William "Bill" Sherman has a problem - he's dead. Blown to pieces by his own C4 payload, which he wanted to eliminate a South American druglord with on behalf of some shady secret service people. The fact that he accidentally blew a bus full of innocent civilians into the Great Beyond has given rise to an all new problem - Hell doesn't exactly have any problems with claiming his soul. But now Bill's in purgatory and he's caught the eye of heaven's warriors. He's been offered a chance to make good the havoc he wrought using his quite special skills. And with weapons of course. Bizarre weapons. Crazy weapons...

The Game

Developed by Homegrown Games with former developers and modders from the previous Painkiller games in collaboration with Studio Med-Art and with a Catholic priest advising, Painkiller Resurrection combines rock-hard, no-frills action and an exciting story with painstakingly researched details. In a bizarre world influenced by medieval ideas about hell and purgatory and Dante's Inferno, the mixture of fast, straightforward levels and enormous, explorable regions containing the worst scum of any hell provides a unique gaming experience.

  • Unique storyline told using top quality "graphic novel" style cutscenes
  • Completely reworked "Painkiller 2.0 engine" with shader effects, weather systems, a superb physics engine, and ultra-fast netcode, including an anticheat system
  • The best weapons from all of the Painkiller titles + new, inventive tools of death
  • Classic-style FPS levels and enormous, explorable areas provide varied gameplay
  • Countless eSports-grade multiplayer modes with numerous new and updated maps

✦ AI summary

Painkiller Resurrection is a fan-made expansion with ambitious open-level design and story moments reminiscent of Max Payne, but it suffers from severe technical issues including broken pathfinding, frequent crashes, performance problems, and game-breaking bugs that make progression difficult or impossible. Players universally agree the game feels undercooked and poorly polished, with messy level design and a clunky healing system that forces tedious downtime during fast-paced combat, making it a frustrating experience even compared to other Painkiller titles.

As loading screen says, it's a fan made game. It should be free. It should also be avoided because of how many bugs, bad level design and performance drops it has. Any positives do not make this game worth a try.

[h1]Painkiller: Resurrection: Released, but Not Really Finished With Ideas[/h1] [b]Gameplay & Gunplay: 6/10[/b] [i]The gameplay isn't what drove me away. It's the same simple, fast shooting you'd expect, but it feels flat and has no spark to keep you interested.[/i] [b]Level Design & Structure: 3.5/10[/b] [i]The level design and structure are extremely repetitive and boring. I tried hard to keep playing and couldn't. I dropped it very quickly, and it wasn't because of the graphics or the gameplay, only because of how tiring and dull the levels are.[/i] [b]Graphics & Sound: 6/10[/b] [i]It's acceptable and nothing more. It does its job, but there's nothing memorable about how it looks or sounds.[/i] [b]Innovation & Content: 4/10[/b] [i]Zero innovation. It feels like it was just thrown out there, with no real point that makes it worth playing.[/i] [b]Value: 5.5/10[/b] [i]For someone sick in bed with nothing else to do, maybe.

The game is not fun, looks like ♥♥♥♥, and is so unpolished that the devs should be ashamed. The fact that this is a paid product is staggering, and someone should be jailed. Genuinely abysmal.

[h1]The return of Ibuprofen[/h1] 5 years (!) after the original game release yet another group of fans decided to sh~t out another expansion for Painkiller. [h1]These guys took notes from Overdose[/h1] [olist] [*]Instead of small levels with tight rooms - GIGANTIC "kinda open world" locations [*]No more Belial Bullcrap - original weapons again, with a new bonus one - basically Faster Spearthrower that can also drop out GIGANTIC GRENADES [*]Music is somewhat better - although its practically stolen [*]Bunny hopping and multiple endings are back (no one asked tho) [/olist] [h1]Why it sucks[/h1] Max Payne-like storytelling (comics but worse, WAY worse) You play as BIll - a mercenary who killed a ton of people back in the day but like any other bad protag - refuses to kill innocent - so he died. From his own bomb. And now forces of heaven and hell are fighting for his soul while Bill fights them back. Edgy - but stupid. It gets even more stupid when you reach any of the endings. Somehow they fixed the performance of the game (no more stutters) but instead we got VERY LONG loading screens. Quick saves are snappy tho. The textures are completely fked tho. Broken geometry, light…
