I found Painkiller (2011) in my library and cant even remeber when or why I got this - Sopuli

Can somebody remind me why I might have downloaded this? I’m sure it must have been pitched to me somewhat effectively already but I really can’t remember what made me get it or why I never got around to playing it

Oddly, I had a similar experience with the game. It just sort of ended up in the collection of “backed up” games in my library. Can’t remember who recommended it. Maybe it’s cursed? If it is a cursed game, they at least made it fun. It’s a pretty fast-paced shooter with lots of unique enemies and pretty backdrops.

oh hell yeah. going with this theory, it’s like a copypasta.

It was recently given away. I prowl the free games communities but often don’t play myself, just collect.

Painkiller is from 2004, excellent shooter with some unique weapons, mechanics and set pieces.

are you for real? sure its corny but this looks really good for a 2004 game. why does it feel like Doom and Left 4 Dead had a baby?

I think they’re referring to the 2025 reboot

Painkiller on Steam

The classic Painkiller series is back! Battle through Purgatory in fast-paced co-op action, wielding infernal weapons against relentless demonic hordes. Condemned for your sins, the Voice of the Creator offers you a chance at redemption. Will you seize it or be lost to darkness?

It got a patch and a little TLC last year iirc little bit of a glow up and fixed some bugs. Then went on sale/free all over the place. They made the mode where you can play as Duke Nukem work better too.

If you used to watch Zero Punctuation around 2011 then it might be because Yahtzee called it the best FPS game ever made.

Played it myself and can’t say I agree, but I can kinda see what he saw in it

Played through the game after his video-- no regrets
