Flawed diamond. Pros: + (kinda) Painkiller Black Edition, but with better graphics + new weapon + some music changes are great ! (yes, the one in Colosseum really slaps) Cons: - minor bugs still exist (bunny hopping can sometimes launch player into random direction) - polish dubbing is obnoxious K**WA bad - in cutscenes we can listen to some hmmm dialogue cut off ? I don't know maybe everyone in this game has dementia and they forgot what they wanted to say in the middle of sentence ? - levels are splitted between main content and dlc . Yeah, we have new levels, but behind paywall. It is weird to kill main boss and then moving to some additional levels like factory. - with new graphics, Painkiller Hell & Damnation lost a lot of in terms of grim atmosphere. Summary: This is still very good game, but it's flawed. And despite that, this is must-have title in your steam library

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

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.
