    Bringing something from the past to the present can feel refreshing when its entire heritage is lost in the current version of the genre, and even though this version isn’t as polished, as good-looking or as smooth-running as the PC version, it’s still a blast to the past.

    Painkiller Hell & Damnation is a short, unattractive beast that will sink its claws into you if you give it half a chance. But be warned: it could also be a throwback that may fly right over the head of a modern FPS gamer. [September 2013, p76]

    The only thing Painkiller gets right (sort of) are the original weapons. Everything else is a complete mess. The game looks better than the original, but that is about the only good thing you can say about the graphics. Blurry textures, horrible screen tearing and slow loading details ruin the experience even further. [September p.88]

    Painkiller: Hell & Damnation is an old-school FPS that is sadly dated, boring and tedious to play.

    No amount of ragdoll-fumbling can save this Gothic horror show. [Sept 2013, p.94]

    Nostalgia is a powerful thing – but in some cases it can be problematic. The industry has certainly moved on from the days when games such as Painkiller: Hell & Damnation were commonplace, and while it's not unreasonable to look back on these times with fondness, that doesn't mean that this lazy rehash deserves your attention. This is a shining example of corner-cutting, outdated ideas, and, in truth, is a complete waste of your time.

    Hell and Damnation is what you'll experience while playing this game. Our advice: don't.

    Painkiller is not brilliant in technical terms, but it is addictive as hell if you like pure action first-person shooters. I particularly likePainkiller is not brilliant in technical terms, but it is addictive as hell if you like pure action first-person shooters. I particularly like the gothic atmosphere, as well as the design of characters, levels and weapons. Besides, it has an online mode, though there are not many people playing.… Expand
