Painkiller! I used to love the older games in this franchise, one of the great "boomer shooters". Glad to see it back.

Loved the original Painkiller. The battlefield frozen in time was cutting edge stuff to see in a video game back then.

Hopefully this is released on PC too.

Painkiller. A franchise where I like every game considerably less than the previous one.

Still, OG Painkiller and its (first) expansion was REAL good. I also loved that you were just some nebulous dude who was murdering the generals of Hell to be reunited with his wife in Heaven rather than a rogue demon/angel or a CIA wet works agent or whatever we are up to now.

Which other game series has a gun that shoots shurikens and lightning?

I've played the original for years and never found all the secrets. Can't wait to miss more in the new one
