Painkiller: Black

Amazing game and one of the best First Person Shooters I have played. Painkiller is just Epic. In the core it is just a First-Person Shooter in which you shoot monsters and progress to the next stage, classic stuff that Doom, Serious Sam and Duke Nukem did before, but this game feels different somehow. It has a unique style of playing and some mechanics that are different in a way that it offers a fresh new concept. Some unique mechanics in this game is the soul collecting when killing enemies, which increases your health by one for each soul collected and let you enter demon rage mode, killing everything you point at. You can also earn Tarot cards that give you a bonus in each level if you selected that specific card for the level. You first earn those cards by completing a challenge in a level, for example, kill fifty monsters with explosions, or kill all enemies on the stage. What sets this game apart for me is the sound and music. I think I can say, without a doubt, that this game has the best music that I have experienced so far, even better than Serious Sam. Every level has a unique Heavy Metal fight track that really gets you pumped up. Combine this with the excellent sound effects of your weapons and the enemy grunts and it makes for one epic experience. It is just a masterpiece. Painkiller: Battle Out of Hell offers a new campaign with, once again, ten completely unique levels, enemies and weapons. Although it is still the same principle of the first game, the new levels were amazing. I loved Painkiller: Battle Out of Hell and I thought it was even better than the main game. It was long ago that I could enjoy a game as much as I did this one. In the end, Painkiller and its expansion is a masterpiece in every way and one of the games that I can play any time of the year. It is a real classic and that is why it has multiple sequels and a remake, rightfully so. I would surely recommend it to everyone.
