PixelJunk Shooter 2 is the first full sequel in a series that had previously made big departures with each new game. The game will certainly offer more of the same basic environmental discovery with controls built on old twin-stick shooters, but the sequel will also provide a challenging online multiplayer mode to stretch the design concept in a new direction.
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."
i love all the pixeljunk games and bought every one available for the ps3. not sure if it's worth buying again for the pc
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.
Jrpg games. Hell; the Japanese still make better games...just so few are ever made anymore. But when they come here, they are great.
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
Exactly , every game had these little secrets that you had to discover by beating the game or some other stuff, now they became DLC
I'm a bit dubious about this new multiplayer mode.
I hope it can eventually be played offline.
I hope the mode will expand to 4 players.
I hope there will be a traditional DM or TDM modes.
All just for variety sake. That said, this MP mode sounds like it could be a lot of fun.
