Painkiller
One more overview for Painkiller offers up a look at how we will kill our pain in Painkiller
Things are popping off here for Painkiller, and we have one more push for the game for those who have been ignoring it all. Who does not want to have a good FPS title where our friends and we need to survive Purgatory? Also, where we will be using tarot cards to modify things in the game as Anshar Studios and 3D Realms tries to fire up this IP for another solid go. You know you want in on Painkiller, but if you needed one more thing, then we have a new overview of the game to look at just before October 21st comes, and we can just play the game on the PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. I hope you have your friends ready, or you are getting ready to send them this new bit to see if they will join your fight in Purgatory.
Those who might have missed it the umpteen times already, Painkiller will be placing us firmly in Purgatory with a load of weapons and various other abilities to head out and decimate an endless horde of demons out there. Not on our own, thankfully, as we will be able to have two friends get trapped in Purgatory as well, so we can all try to survive the battle and kill everything that is coming at us. Although if we are in Purgatory, that would mean everything is already dead, and we are not doing much for the population. That could be why Painkiller will be a never-ending battle out there, with the horde just repopulating as we go about our duties. Maybe I am thinking a bit too much for a game like this, when I should be focusing on all of the violent weapons we will be able to use and upgrade along the way. Have a look at it all and get ready to enter the new, horrible version of Purgatory next week.

Did you get to see anything new for Painkiller that you missed out on before, or is this all the same thing we have had since the game was announced? Do you think there will be a reason for the dead coming back, or will it be as simple as we are just moving them around in the afterlife? How big will the weapons get in the game, and how will we be able to wipe out massive chunks of the horde in a single shot? Let us have those thoughts in the comments and then discuss them all until we can get trapped in the Underworld. If we get anything further for Painkiller, we will share it with you here. Just please keep on coming back so you can see and hear about all of it as it flows out there into reality again.
