The game comes of as mediocre from the demo. It's too colorful, full of shit on the screen and with less than desirable production value.

Witchfire accomplished more with less.

Just tried the demo available at Gabe's headquarters and I agree, it is a definite

Heavily co-op focused with mandatory clown bot companions (in a literal sense) and protagonist delivering Marvel one-liners, two weapon limit, cluttered directionless action with 100% console gunplay and HUD/power-ups/progression resembling mobile games..welcome to the shift-delete hell.

Not in the conventional sense, at least in the demo. There's a mini-hub where you can automatically set up raids with bots (or online) and unlock more maps, upgrades and cards in typical 202X fashion. Reviving such an old franchise only to make something else designed to alienate the fans whilst quenching GenZ-y needs (the ones who don't even know Painkiller) is certainly a decision Laughing

"
Game ended up a as a generic co-op shooter. It feels clunky, full of traversal stuttering and it does not even have DLSS or FSR only XeSS upscaling i never seen that before lol.

Nothing in the environment is destructible even the 2004 Painkiller had that. Visuals are subpar i dont think it even uses nanite or lumen.

Im skipping this very disapponited.

tried it and while it does look like doom its nothing like it and its so fucking generic and bad....

was expecting at least a single player campaign but its some generic levels that u play with ur co op bots, weapons have no punch, the voice acting and one liners are so cringe

graphics are good and its smooth but thats about it

On the bright side, it reached an all-time peak of 871 players on Steam with ratings that match the "quality" of the product, so hopefully, there won't be more pain.

...until the next random pointless reboosequel, that is!
