At face value I shouldn't like Bulletstorm. It comes off as obnoxious and crass, full of toilet humor, emphasizing a sort of dickish boldness and attitude that's been driven into the ground by countless shooters over the last few years.

The sequel could have explored the unrealized potentials of Bulletstorm with just simple additions like projectile-based shooting, jump, creative levels. As it currently is, Bulletstorm is a great FPS you should play. Although I have already a nostalgic affinity to Painkiller, I have to admit Bullestorm is People Can Fly's best work.

Apr 7, 2017 · Bulletstorm: Full Clip Edition, released today, is a remaster of the 2011 sci-fi FPS—with a side of Duke, but more on that later—and it's still a lot of fun.
Bulletstorm is a 2011 first-person shooter game developed by People Can Fly and Epic Games and published by Electronic Arts (EA). The video game is distinguished by its system of rewarding players with "skillpoints" for performing increasingly creative kills.
