PixelJunk Shooter Ultimate is a PS4 re-release of PixelJunk Shooter 1 and PixelJunk Shooter 2. Ultimate packs both of these games into one neat re-release, with updated graphics, of course. Although the game starts out strong, it doesn’t finish strong. The formula grows old a little over halfway through Ultimate, and the last several levels become an absolute slog. It's just sloppy, to sum it up in one word.
PixelJunk Shooter Ultimate is an arcade style, twin stick shooter, puzzle game where you control a mining ship that heads deep into the planet to rescue survivors and collect gems whilst killing various enemies and avoiding deadly traps. Check out The Digital Gamer's review on PC
Packs a lot of play into a small package; PC fans anxious to join the PixelJunk fun should go ahead and dive into the depths.
Full review by Josh Boykin on Popzara Press
Pixeljunk Shooter and Pixeljunk Shooter 2 are combined into one game – with impressive results.
If you are on the fence about getting this game, don't listen to this review. The game is anything but sloppy. The level design is challenging but not cheap. And it looks/plays great on the PS4.
To put this review into perspective, this game is a port of a critically acclaimed PS3 title with upgraded graphics and added content.
Halfway through and enjoying it so far.
