Painkiller: Resurrection Critic Reviews

The fourth part of the Painkiller series plays just like the other ones. Using weapons like the painkiller you're fighting lots of weird opponents like axe-wielding monks or pirate zombies. As usual they act dumb, there is no AI to speak of. It's a game to play casually for 30 minutes now and then and doesn't aspire to be anything else.

Makes a one-man war against the armies of hell quite depressingly dull.

Although it is simple, direct and fun, it still doesn't live up for the absolute lack of polish of other aspects.

The third standalone add-on can be described by a single word – amateurism. Originally it was planned as a mod and it should of stayed as a mod permanently.

Painkiller: Resurrection is a buggy trip into hell.

You need an extra dose of Painkillers, to play Resurrection without headache.

Quotation forthcoming.

Painkiller: Resurrection is a bugfest. It is technically outdated and the co-op mode is hidden between the menus. There is no way to make this multiplayer mode work well.

Glitchy scripts, three-minute loading times, broken saves, crashes to desktop and the abundance of blur make this game a nerve-wracking challenge.

It's a repulsive cocktail of inconvenience, design missteps and frustration that fails to entertain on any level. Quite simply, if you buy this game, you are wasting your money.

Painful in so many ways.
