Painkiller



pros:
- physics are fun corpses falling, envormental physics objects flying all over the place
- movement is really smooth and fun to control bunny hopping gives you awesome speed and is satisfying
- lots of level and enemy variation
- huge boss fights

cons:
everything else
- shooting isnt that fun or fleshed out
- guns are boring and arent fun to use, look at, or shoot
- very repetive gameplay that gets boring after 20 minute sessions
- game cycle forces you to clear every area of enemies to progress the level like its a beat em up or something
- on normal difficulty not much of a challenge and even if it was more difficult it would not enhance the game just make it more of a slog
- boss fights in general are a let down and arent that amazing
- final few levels suck and are nothing like hell like it was suppose to be, final 'boss' is a massive joke / letdown

overall the game is helped out massively by its control, movement speed, and physics engine, varied locations and enemies. but everything else is medicore or unimpressive and it falls flat. and for a shooting game with boring shooting, thats not too enjoyable

5.5/10
