About Painkiller: Resurrection
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...

✦ 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.1 found this helpful
Painkiller Resurrection introduces six new levels, open areas a lot of shooting and updated graphics from the ealier games. This expansion of Painkiller however, is pure hot garbage, plastered & duct taped and glued togheter. No pathfinding what so ever in the levels, just make sure to hit the "checkpoints". Levels feels like a damn pizza with a lot of ingredients and overly salted. Yeah and tasted like old squichy ham with nice overly made stinky cheese! The good things are the story with it's max payne like cutscenes and occationally some moments of fun can be found during combat and "it's puzzles". I did not encounter any crashes like some other talks about. Pros: +Open areas +Story, Cutscenes +Puzzle like Cons: -Messy levels, only six -buggy -getting stuck eventually Four cheese out of ten1 found this helpful
Я пытался дать шанс этой игре. Игра наотрез отказалась его принимать. Здесь есть относительно неплохие уровни (кроме последнего шестого, он говнище), но в общем-то и всё. 1. Музяку после первого уровня хочется вырубить. 2. Главного героя после первого произнесённого слова хочется вырубить. 3. НАШИ ТЕКСТУРКИ ПОЖРАЛ ДОЛГОНОСИК. 4. О, У ТЕБЯ СЕРЬЁЗНАЯ БИТВА С ТОЛПОЙ ВРАГОВ? ЛОВИ ВЫЛЕТ! 5. О, У ТЕБЯ СЕРЬЁЗНАЯ БИТВА С СЕРЬЁЗНЫМИ ВРАГАМИ? ЗАСТРЕВАЙ В ПОЛУ! 7. Спавны врагов выставлены жопой. 8. Чекпоинты выставлены жопой 9. Слоты оружия выставлены жопой, их надо менять вручную в настройках на то, как было в первой части. 10. Новая пушка о господи за что... зачем... Хотел было поставить эту часть повыше редемпшена (там вообще мультиплеерные карты из первой части украли, с такими же дерьмовыми спавнами), но тот хотя бы не вылетает и в полу не застревает.
(This review is mixed cause even after patching it using Patch 44 and the Megafix v2 mod to fix bugs and make it less tedious it still crashed a TON and it's very clear that it's very undercooked but still plays like any ol' Painkiller. BUT only get this if you're thinking about getting the full Painkiller collection during a sale since it's NOT worth it on it's own even on discount.) Painkiller: Resurrection is another Painkiller game but if it wasn't obvious by the reception, not NEARLY as well received as the original nor even Overdose. Developed by Homegrown Games, it follows William Sherman, a hitman who gets sent to purgatory as a car bomb meant for a drug lord accidentally also killed a bus full of innocent people. As such William gets sent to Purgatory and now has to fight his way for Redemption... no that's a different Painkiller game. It's a surprisingly compelling premise that's completely wasted cause looking more into it, this game absolutely had a TON of ideas and concepts that weren't fully realized for one reason or another. Gameplay wise, the gunplay and movement is actually like what you'd expect from Painkiller, featuring all the weapons from the original game…
I cannot get past the first level nothing in this game works the ground will melt and objects noclip. Its kinda shocking how little this game actually works at this point its not even a game.
Bruh, Heal system still makes you stand over dead bodies like a moron waiting for them to vanish – in a "fast-paced" shooter, that's unforgivable. Another trash heap in the Painkiller franchise. 0/10, go play actual Doom instead.
