    I would like to enjoy this game but the crippling lag on co op and multiplayer clearly shows how unfinished it is... I really would avoid this until the lag is fixed otherwise you are buying a short single player campaign and nothing else really.

    this game made me want to scrape my face against a cheese grater. personally i think a 10 year old could make a better game than what was provided. the upgrades barley changed the game and the walls were as if they were covered in land mines. i spent 20 minutes before i got to a checkpoint. the only thing that was even passable was the fact that it was free and maybe thethis game made me want to scrape my face against a cheese grater. personally i think a 10 year old could make a better game than what was provided. the upgrades barley changed the game and the walls were as if they were covered in land mines. i spent 20 minutes before i got to a checkpoint. the only thing that was even passable was the fact that it was free and maybe the multiplayer...MAYBE. honestly the game was like gargling razor blades before smashing my head with a hammer. don't get your hopes up.

    I cannot believe that Valiant Hearts has a lower score than this. It really goes to show that todays generation want mindless rubbish over deep story, art style and gameplay. PixelJunk is an utter joke of a game. I played for around 4 minutes before turning off and uninstalling. The game is like a child’s version of jetpack. The graphics are insulting, the art style is pathetic and theI cannot believe that Valiant Hearts has a lower score than this.

The graphics are insulting, the art style is pathetic and the gameplay is exciting for around ten seconds. If you enjoy games stay clear of this mess. Expand

    No matter if you want to play by yourself or with a friend, there is a lot to like with PixelJunk Shooter Ultimate’s smartly designed environment puzzles and infusion of dynamic fluids that offer a refreshing experience on this take of a shooter meets puzzler.
