Bulletstorm: Full Clip Edition

This is a remastered version of Bulletstorm. On first glance, this seems to be basically the same game, except without GFWL, and I’m mostly okay with that.
Bulletstorm is somewhat of a homage to old school FPS campaigns. It’s a linear experience, has a decent enough story that is a little bit heavy on creative language, and some things to collect. There’s a grappling hook of sorts, a weapon upgrade system, and a creative skillshot system where you get rewarded for killing enemies in a unique way. The weapon designs are pretty damn fun as well. It all comes together in an over-the-top action-oriented package of fun that’s worth a playthrough if you crave a linear FPS game of yesteryear. The movement is a little bit chunky, but it doesn’t detract from the experience too much.
The environments of Bulletstorm are the standout thing here. You’ll be exploring a desolate run-down alienish resort thing, and there are a ton of crazy sets and one-off places to explore to keep things interesting. You’re effectively walking down a long hallway in this game, but all of the crazy detailed spaces keep things interesting.
I really enjoyed Bulletstorm, enough so to now own it twice on Steam. I’ve beaten it a few times over the years, and it has generally aged well. I wish the remaster did a bit more, a coop mode through the campaign would have been great, or maybe some kind of bonus level or something… I think the Duke Nukem thing is new, maybe?

Extremely stupid game that I enjoyed immensely, start to finish.

Back in 2011 Bulletstorm found itself in the middle of a scandal concerning its attitiude towards violence and creative profanities - so much so that people quickly saw it as a commercial trick and dismissed the game itself as mediocre.
While in reality Bulletstorm was - and to a great extent still is - the future of shooters.
Its greatest achievement is that with its skillshot system it makes the player feel like they're playing a Devil May Cry game. Juggling enemies, finding new ways of dealing with them, combining those ways - all of it with the most diverse arsenal of weapons each of which has a special mode to its name. And unlike in Devil May Cry, here fighting creatively is a neccessity - scored points are spent on ammunition and upgrades - and ammo is pretty scarce in Bulletstorm. That is one of the reasons why Bulletstorm was not very well recieved back in the day: the habit of the general audience towards CoD-like shooters impeded many from embracing the fast and aggressive attitude this game requires.
Stylistically, Bulletstorm is Gears of War gone punk - in the most basic sense of the term. It is very silly - by design. Many moments throughout the game are intentionally comedic - like escaping the room with an armed superbomb through a vent only to circumnavigate your way back into the same room. But it never falls into slapstick territory. Bulletstorm is, despite what you might think, an extremely well-written game. Here are the reasons:
1. Obscene language here is obviously a result of long and hard work: you see that you're dealing with outlaws, soldiers and sailors - and should you forget, they will remind you by mentioning someone's mother, orientation or genitalia in a way that is likely to stick in your mind forever.
2. Bulletstorm has some very solid worldbuilding despite (or rather thanks to) having no collectible pieces of information scattered around the level. You get all you need to know - no more, no less. This universe is not ten kilometers deep, but it still does a very good job.
3. Most importantly - Bulletstorm is very much like Fury Road in that it manages to keep the breakneck pace all throughout its 8-13 hours of play. The whole game is a giant ACHTUNG - the protagonist is in an extreme situation, the antagonist is in an extreme situation, everybody wants everybody dead, and everything on this mad planet is aggressive and volatile. Not to mention the over-the-top setpieces like the infamous section where you are being pursued by a gigantic wheel or another one where you use a remote-controlled monster shooting lasers from its eyes to destroy a gang of enemies. Every moment you are being thrown into a new creatively concieved scenario, where your protagonist and all around him will joke, curse and shout so believably or so amusingly, you will have no choice but to curse, laugh and shout with him.
Imho: Bulletstorm is the best setpiece shooter ever made, and we are yet to see an FPS to surpass it in creativity. Or writing.

Underrated, overpriced.

Masterpiece Game, but this game is so underrated. I recommended you should play this game, and this game is incredible. Well, multiplayer is quite dead, but the campaign is amazing!!! Huge boss fight is amazing! I love it!

You would be crazy not to pick this up on sale. This game has the crazy fun type of wild weapons and frags you usually only see in a DOOM game. Okay, maybe a second rate DOOM - but you can't go wrong for 90% off. It has great graphics that still hold up and hours of game play.

BulletStorm was released in 2011 when shooters such as Battlefield and Call of Duty did not travel in time and did not return to World War II. Of course, it was from then on that the shooters replaced the various versions of the Voloverin with the hero of the story to constantly repair themselves. The first-person shooter clichés, which had a successful formula for these games, continued to attack. They sent money to the publishers' pockets. It was unfortunate that People Can Fly Studios made a completely unusual game (even in non-serious and stupid situations!) And won the hearts of old gamers. Of course, we should not forget that the first-person shooter of this studio was swimming completely in the opposite direction of the river, and this also gave a lot of work. Slow down for gamers to enjoy a silly but extremely lovable first-person shooter. But now, the publishers have accidentally decided to invite an uninvited guest who was once the king of this style (Duke Nukem) to the game and cover the losses of the previous version by publishing the remastered version.
Bulletstorm is like an old man, he enters in his traditional way and tells his story as simply as possible. The old man may be ridiculed by today's youth, but we must not forget that the "young and old youth" of this old man, with all the simplicity of his story, draws attention to issues that may never be considered in today's games. Dealing with the fate of the strange planet Stygia and how it turned into a scary place is one of the most beautiful details of the game's story. Also, the fate of one of the characters in the game, which turns into a cyborg due to his injuries. The inner struggle of the human and artificial intelligence of this character and the issues that arise make the story of the game very interesting. However, we must not forget that the story of the game has little to say compared to story-driven games and even special shooters (like the BioShock series), and it is only the best among competitors and games of the same category. The game's confusing ending also looks a bit annoying. But all this can not stop you from enjoying the fascinating, funny, and a bit ridiculous part of the story.
Bulletstorm, among the first-person shooters of those days, and even the shooters right now, with all its stupidity and simplicity, tells a very pleasant story and creates characters that are memorable but funny. Characters whose dialogues can make you feel good. We just forgot to say that these headless people can move Jackson's poison record in the field of insult.
In terms of gameplay, Bulletstorm retains the true identity of a first-person shooter, reminiscent of classic style games. At the same time, the main designers of the game, with their lovely games, have added strange elements to the overall trend of shooter games and have created one of the most beautiful games of this genre.
The first rank of the game's exotic mechanics is given to the Grayson Hunt's boot, for the blows that this powerful boot inflicts on the enemies, no scientific reason can be found. But what if the game doesn't allow you to object to its logic? With a power equivalent to firing a war cannon, Grayson can kick his enemies into the air.
Skillshot's creative system, which in 2011 looked like a miracle, is still fresh, attractive, and fun. This system is born of creative and, of course, sick minds. It forces you to slaughter enemies in strange ways to gain points. In fact, after ranking four gameplay elements, it's the Skillshot system that makes Bulletstorm a special and unique game. The combination of Grison's whip and his mysterious kick, with the environmental effects of the evil planet and the game's ruthless weapons, brings you thousands of different and, of course, far-fetched ways to kill unfortunate enemies. From plugging their bodies into electricity to throwing an enemy into the mouth of a cannibal, of course, sending enemies to the far side with the constructive strategy of "kill it, it will never get old."
Scores obtained through the Skillshot system, which is awarded to you by the strangest killing methods. The game can be used to buy weapons, upgrades, and buy ammunition. Of course, don't forget that newer weapons and more ammunition will earn you more points because by progressing in the game and going through the grievance stage, you will use the strangest possible methods in the history of humanity to torture your enemies. And it's not easy to do that without new weapons.
