What players think
The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
AMAZING weapons at the level of chemistry that only good classic FPS had like Doom 2!
Painkiller has a strong atmosphere on its levels, the sound and level design, the theme for the levels and the chapters are spot on.
Theme by theme
Every theme is scored by what reviewers actually said about it, not just whether they recommended the game.
Ranked by how many sampled reviews mention each topic. A topic sits in a column by what reviewers said about that topic; the percentage beside it is how many of them recommended the game anyway. One more theme was raised by fewer than 6 sampled reviews and is not shown.
