PixelJunk Shooter 2 is the sequel to the critically acclaimed PixelJunk Shooter by Q-Games. This twin-stick shooter completely throws realism out the window in an attempt to create an experience of which you can’t really get in many other games today. So, do they succeed or does PixelJunk Shooter 2 fall short of it’s predecessor and many other shooters in the market today? Hit the break for the verdict.

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
Loving this game. Hard as hell sometimes, but then again this gen is a bit babying.
That's one thing about Japanese devs like Q-games (and Demons' Souls' From Software) -- they treat us like the hard core gamers we are.
Nice to see a game that breaks out of the normal categories...
