It's a clever little marketing trick, prefixing all your games with something that might as well be the name of the developer. Pixel Junk is now synonymous with high quality PSN releases that fill their own little niches, but beyond that, nothing really ties the individual releases together. Shooter doesn't really buck the trend on any of those notes, but in spite of the seeming straightforwardness of the name, it's probably the cleverest and most ambitious project to date.
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."

If you know anything about Q-Games, you know that we made a name for ourselves during the PlayStation 3 era with our acclaimed PixelJunk series. Debuting way back in 2007, we were one of the first indies to cut our teeth on the newly released console. Our idea for the series was simple: rework old school gaming concepts in beautiful high-definition visuals, while keeping the easy to learn, difficult to master gameplay that made us fall in love with games in the first place.
