Painkiller Black Edition
Description
Painkiller Black Edition includes Painkiller and the expansion pack Battle Out of Hell, featuring 10 additional single-player levels and many new villans.
Gothic Story, Frantic Gameplay. Painkiller is a first-person horror shooter, designed to satisfy a gamer's hunger for intense, fast-paced action. It's an adrenaline addict's nightmare, where hellish monsters swarm in seemingly endless mobs.
Graphically, Painkiller is unmatched. The proprietary PAIN Engine puts out an unbelievably high polygon count, while adding increased texture quality and the latest lighting and shadowing techniques, including soft shadows, DOT3 bump mapping, water reflections, glass simulation, volumetric light and fog, and more. Plug in the Havok 2.0 physics engine, and you get a realistic environment in a totally fantastical setting.
Stranded in a place between Heaven and Hell, your time of judgment is at hand. The Underworld is on the verge of unholy war, and you are but a pawn in the infernal battle. As you fight for your purification, the truths behind the deceptions are revealed.
FEATURES
- Combo weapons: All weapons come in pairs, with a primary and secondary fire.
- Morphing: Your unholy pact gives you the power to morph into a powerful possessed creature with every 66 souls collected.
- Lasting replay value: Painkiller features a standard single player campaign, with additional modes to encourage replay.
- Physics Engine: Painkiller employs the Havok 2.0 physics engine, allowing for inverse kinematics ("rag-doll physics") and deformable, interactive environments.
- Over 30 levels of fierce action, dozens of different enemies in completely unique and varied environments.
- High adrenalin gameplay: non-stop action, hundreds of enemies to be decimated and gigantic bosses.
- 14 incredible weapons, including the famous stake-gun, and the mythical Painkiller.

Does what it sets out to do very well
I wouldn't say it's completely mindless, but it sure isn't the same as Half life 2 or Bioshock. This is just pure action with a wide variety of weird weapons, enemies and locales. For 10 bucks you SHOULD get this game. If I didn't already own it, I'd buy it here for sure.

Stretching the meaning of 'old'
I was thinking the same what UT2004 was release on gog, but hey, I'm not complaining. Painkiller is a game inspired by the Series Sam and original Dooms in that it basks in randomly and aimlessly killing things without any side missions or support characters. Therefore, you will enjoy this if you are nostalgic and want to play those games in shiny new graphics and physics... ...is what I would be saying had I played those games back in the day. I have to say that I'm probably a rarity on gog. I've been seriously PC gaming for just over a year now, so this review will be taken at a different angle. Hopefully it will be less biased due to lack of nostalgia, but we shall see. Being the Zero Punctuation fan I am I was fascinated by the concept of Painkiller. All you do is murder tonnes of dudes, no other 'rubbish' to be seen. As I myself have only played modern fps', the main pull factor from them were good stories, immersion and the fact you don't have to think too hard while playing. The combination of these things have made the fps genre very successful in the industry and the modding scene. Why I've never been sure, as strategy games have always been my favourites, but clearly playing a game without the need to think is hardly a niche. Painkiller takes this to a new level but making it so you have to think even less. The gaming industry's form of innovation is making sub genres and cross genres. This creates new experiences while people know almost exactly what their getting. And as time goes on, the original genres start to die out. From RTS, formed RTT and RTT then bred with FPS to form Tactical Shooters. As technology moved forward, FPS' managed to get more sophisticated and compelling. They also combined with adventure games to make them more story based and some puzzle based too. Painkiller, however, has managed to beat natural selection and remain very unsophisticated. At first I was sceptical of this being any good. I have Doom 2 on steam and I have to say I found it pretty boring. And not having to think in a game is never a good thing in my books. However I must like it as I've given it 4 stars. The reason for this is how rewarding Painkiller is. Killing an enemy is always very gory and satisfying. The weapons are also amazingly well designed and the game looks visually stunning. The game is clearly very well realised with brilliant design in everything. Sure you don't need to think whatsoever, but sometimes that isn't a bad thing. The game does, however, really frustrate you at points. While your sitting there, not thinking at all, the game likes to randomly kill you, so you have to keep on your toes. This is bad as the game is more fun when you don't have to think and being randomly killed breaks the flow an awful lot. And the bosses often make no sense either. My point is, if your going to make a game where you don't have to think, chances are your not going to want to think while playing. So don't. Painkiller is fun when you don't. And you will enjoy it. However, as I said, the game sometimes forces you to, which kinda sucks. Give it a chance, but certainly don't go in with the expectations of Yhatzee's Review.
