Painkiller Review. Painkiller is a simple first-person shooter at heart, but it's very well-put-together and does what it does exceedingly well. Nordic Games Holding acquires JoWood and The.

From best to worst:1. Painkiller: Black Edition2. Painkiller: Hell & Damnation3. Recurring EvilI will say that I've never played Recurring Evil as the bad reviews turned me off. Honestly, the first game is the only one I'd recommend anyone play. Hell & Damnation is OK but it's basically a remake of the first game without all the levels. I found Overdose too annoying to play for longer than a few hours, and I never really gave Redemption or Resurrection much of a chance.the bad level design and flow of combat in those two games made me regret buying those.I've always been a huge fan of Painkiller, to the point where I bought the horrible 'Dreamkiller' simply because it looked a lot like Painkiller.

I love old-school, action packed, run-and-gun shooters; I still play Doom I & II and the Quake games occassionally. I think what happened with the Painkiller series is that People Can Fly only designed the first game and expansion pack. After that, everything that came later was made by fan groups or outsourced to inferior dev teams.If People Can Fly ever come back to the series (which I don't know if they will now that they're apart of Epic), I think a true successor to the first Painkiller can be made.

Otherwise, the series will continue to lower in quality. To me Recurring Evil is the work of someone who understood Painkiller's potential and gave it an extra push. Hundreds of enemies forcing you to bunnyhop like mad, no much obstacle in areas, pretty challenging environnemental moments and no HPsponge mobs, mostly cheap stuff to kill and make fly around. It's pretty much all I want in such games. It should be as nobrain as this, and make your fragboard increase insanely quick. Emphasis on fast reactions and crowd control is the most exciting thing about Painkiller (besides it's original arsenal). So I encourage fans to give Recurring Evil a go even tho reviewers didn't quite get its purpose imo.My only regret is that the fight areas could be a wee bigger.

Go beyond plus ultra. Sometimes it felt so tight I had to hop onto enemies (which was kinda cool at some point).On the other hand, I advise to not get Resurrection. I think any professional leveldesigner in vidya industry could make highschool lessons out of it. Buggy, no hint on where to go, wrong use of wide open space, awful map construction (props, assets etc.

They're just thrown randomly), AI pathfinding was pathetic, frames droppin etc. We could go on.It just looks like made by a mad fan just discovering a game engine but who obviously never got a gamedesign doc in his hands, nor does he have any insight into maps developpement. No reflexion on Painkiller formula. You get stuck often, enemies spawn in the ground, AI is dumb af instead of agressive, the maps size is a waste and makes no fun (you can just bunny miles aways and snipe mobs), you're always wondering where to go, indoor fight areas always have bunch of momma's furniture in yo legs, making the game rythm collapse every 10 seconds.

Resurrection at least had interesting environments, but it didn't lend well to the gameplay at all so I agree. Originally posted by:From best to worst:1. Painkiller: Black Edition2.

Otherwise, the series will continue to lower in quality. Reccuring Evil atleast has better level design than Ressurection and at least had original levels unlike Redemption. It's main flaw was the fact that it threw too many enemies in small corridoors.

Reccuring Evil is designed specifically for die hard Painkiller fans who want more Painkiller, that is all. Painkiller Battle Out Of Hell - Has some of my fav levels (Loony Park, Leningrad, Dead City, Orphanage)2. Painkiller - You can't go wrong with this, love the levels too, a classic to remember, badass game, just like Battle Out Of Hell3. Painkiller Overdose - Bugs aside, this is an awesome Painkiller game, feels like Serious Sam 2 in the sense that everything is so bright, colourful and goofy even though it may deviate from the dark feel that the original Painkiller and Battle Out Of Hell had but that isn't necesarrily a bad thing, it's a very refreshing change and Belial was funny.4.

Painkiller Reccuring Evil - It is decent, Graveyard was a fun level, the rest were pretty meh though, not bad per say but meh5. Painkiller Hell And Damnation - This would have been higher had it used the Pain engine but the Unreal Engine made the game feel very laggy at times. Plus the new skeleton enemies have an annoying melee attack. Visually though this game is really great and I love the redesign of the levels.6. Painkiller Ressurection - Levels were hit and miss. Haunted City was ok but the rest were abysmal.

So many graphical bugs in this game. It's still better than #7 simply because they were actually trying and it did have a more open map to explore.7. Painkiller Redemption - Terrible. Just terrible, sure you can play as belial again but they removed his two best weapons (egg bombs and sword of shiba).

All the levels are recycled from multiplayer.
