Painkiller: Recurring evil is easily the best Painkiller installment since Overdose but is also a mostly forgettable experience.
Painkiller: Redemption is a lazy expansion that lacks variety.
Painkiller: Overdose could use more polish in some areas but, overall, it’s a worthwhile expansion.
Painkiller is a timeless entry in the genre and has earned its place as a top tier shooter and should be recognized as such.
