PixelJunk Racer, PixelJunk Monster, PixelJunk Eden firmly established Q Games as someone willing to take risks, combining bold artistic design with sound gameplay -- and usually backed by a killer soundtrack. PixelJunk Shooter perhaps the most traditional of the PixelJunk releases yet, continued that streak of elegant innovation, as Q Games released its own twist on the action game. I got in touch with Q Games founder Dylan Cuthbert over e-mail to discuss reaction to PixelJunk Shooter, how he's approaching the sequel, and concerns over the pricing of digital games."
Each week Sony brings PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, PlayStation Vita and PlayStation Portable owners new content, add-ons, games and more.
Jake from PC Gaming Enthusiast reviews the former PlayStation exclusive.
He writes:
"The ultimate edition received a major overhaul, which includes graphics. The overall artist effort truly shines on the PC. The water in each level looks like it is actually flowing, with perfectly precise physics, and subtle depth."

If you know anything about Q-Games, you know that we made a name for ourselves during the PlayStation 3 era with our acclaimed PixelJunk series. Debuting way back in 2007, we were one of the first indies to cut our teeth on the newly released console. Our idea for the series was simple: rework old school gaming concepts in beautiful high-definition visuals, while keeping the easy to learn, difficult to master gameplay that made us fall in love with games in the first place.
I wanted to like it but ultimatley it falls a little flat compared to Monsters. I don't think these guys are as focused as they once were. I'm excited see what their next 2 games in the series is or was it 1 game left? I know they're working on one right now but I don't know if it's for the Pixel junk vol 1 collection or the vol 2 collection. Shooter, to me, wasn't evena shooter... Gravity Crash is a much better game.
