Critic reviews
- Gaming Trend8.0Can it do enough to earn its way to something bigger?
- TheSixthAxis5.0Painkiller is a shame not because it's especially bad, but because some of the fun weapons and combat are buried beneath the dull, uninspired and repetitive mechanics, and a surprisingly short 6-hour runtime.
- GearsRealm7.5Painkiller (2025) is worth grabbing if you’ve got friends and want fast, bloody fun in co-op - but don’t expect a full return to the glory days especially in solo play.
- IGN5.0Painkiller is a frustrating game. The designs for the Raid levels and enemies are largely disappointing, the story is nearly nonexistent and ends on a low note, and the Great Value Wheedonisms the characters deploy in combat often had my eyes nearly rolling out of their sockets.
- PlayStation Universe6.0Does Painkiller aptly bringing the pain and becoming a new killer app for genre aficionados to rejoice, or is it simply doomed to fail?
