What is Painkiller: Black Edition?
Stranded between Heaven and Hell as an underworld war approaches, you fight through levels of monsters and bosses in this first-person horror shooter. Weapons have primary and secondary fire, and collecting souls lets you transform. Black Edition includes the base game and the Battle Out of Hell expansion.
For you if...
- +you like weapons with alternate fire and soul-powered transformations
- +you want a long single-player campaign with an expansion
Not for you if...
- −you prefer cover-based gunfights over constant movement
- −you want a story-led shooter rather than frequent enemy swarms
