The original PixelJunk Shooter is a game of details. It had wonderfully intricate interactions between different earthly elements, the game world and the ultimate goal to save survivors. PixelJunk Shooter 2 attempts to continue this on, adding a few more elements, new enemy types, suits and a general design philosophy of “more”. With this, Q-Games have seem to forgotten that calling the original game “Shooter” was a bit of a misnomer.
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."
It’s pretty common for the “older” generations to be dissatisfied with how times have changed and to be nostalgic for “back in the day”. I try not to think of myself as old, or dissatisfied, for that matter, with what today’s gaming industry has to offer… but I can’t help but feel like somewhere along the way, we damaged what used to be such a pure form of entertainment.
I agree SaveFerris! I still feel very privileged that I was growing up in that time and I got to experience it all first hand. It was a magical time.
Yeah, back in the 90s every video game was like a little wonder to me, those were good times to be a kid. I still have my Famicom, SNES and Genesis and play them time to time using flash cartridges, cuz I don't have any games left. xD
A game with "Shooter" in the title sucks because it's a shooter...
Really?
A critical review from 4playerpodcast, what a surprise. I really enjoyed the first PJShooter, and I've heard decent reviews from PJS2. Sounds like you're mad that you couldn't get through some levels.
