Pain analgesics is an ignorant FPS, which is good

As the gaming industry comes here with the weight of Triple A expectations (not to mention Triple-A budget and Triple-A development time) comes here, it's a very comfortable mid-level, low-risk game like Roguelikuel's first-person shooter, and I can play the game while I'm playing it, and in my favorite situation, I'll feel like this is your favorite game, because it's your favorite person, because it's my favorite game, because it's my favorite game, because it's my favorite game. Work with friends online. Will Painkiller be the best first-person shooter of the year? Not Doom: The Dark Ages exist. Will it have the best story of the year? Hell, this is hardly tried in that department – it's OK. But the revival of this bullet shooter is totally available for the original work: the least stress, mostly blind (in a good way) three-person collaborative FPS, lets you adjust weapons, perks and difficulties at numerous levels. And there is no nonsense in the field service. In short, it's just a decent time and we need more time in the video game industry.

Demons, Hell and Purgatory Stick immediately starts with painkillers. You are a wise demon hunter who falls straight into purgatory, but this obviously can be done because you have a devil to shoot. The hub where everything happens is the crossing point of Purgatory, which is a safe space where you can choose characters, weapons and tarot cards (called raids) or look for a game before starting the game. No matter which character you choose, there will always be three people in the raid, and non-human players are filled in by the bots – I might add that this seems quite capable in the time I built with the preview. I started as ink with its energy soul recovery (also known as health) increased by 20%, then tried invalid (weapon damage +10%) before trying ROCH (+25 Health Points). The fourth character I didn't try was SOL, which has 50% higher ammunition capacity than its peers. They sometimes chat with each other occasionally during the game, and I appreciate it when it ruins the quiet repetition.

In terms of weapons, I exploded the running gun-like smoker, which fired wooden stakes with tip edges at extremely high speeds. I really like how it will get into the enemy and fix it to the wall behind them because it adds a little bit of charm to this weapon. The Alt-Fire of the grenade launcher is also very convenient to charge and ready to go. Another weapon I use is with electric, which is a machine gun-like side that shoots small fast-fire Shurikens and has a secondary lightning attack that will take away any demons on your direct radius. There is also a default melee spinning blade weapon that can be used to cut the weakest enemy types. All of these can be permanently upgraded for future raids, use kill kills, cancel larger small currencies and in-game currencies obtained by achieving goals.

This makes us the familiar Roguelike stew for painkillers: Deckbuilding's third group. You can buy a tarot lottery to add enhancements and enhancements in each run. For example, a card I drew, blasphemy, added 30% damage to my weapon. Yes, please give it to me, thank you! Note that the cost of drawing cards is quite steep – at least in the early blocks I've played with – so don't expect to be able to repaint from the deck only until you get the exact modifier you want.

Once you actually roam Purgatory and actively hunt demons, the gameplay is very typical. Bad people are not smart, but they are rich, but as mentioned before, whether it is human or robot, you will always get help. And, thanks to the whole opaque purebred thing, your allies can revive you if you walk down, which adds extra tension to a game when you bleed against a teammate who is still upright. It's nice to be resurrected, though, rather than letting your run end unfortunately. At the same time, these graphics may not blow socks, and the dialogue is intentionally cheesy. But again, painkillers don't take much attention to yourself, which is great.

If you need a game to entertain yourself while chatting with one or two friends online, and that doesn't require a lot of investment (by any definition), then the pain people – October 9, PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X|s – seems to solve the problem. Maybe that's not enough for a year that's definitely packed by killer games, but for the specific purpose of hanging out online and playing together, you might be worse than painkillers.
