I bought Painkiller: Hell And Damnation on steam sales and I thought I'd drop a word on how it plays. On my nVidia 560TI rig it plays smoothly at 1920x1080 and everything maxed out. Until now, no frame drops even with many enemies on the screen.
A few minor issues that I encountered are
- some crashes when you change some graphics settings,
- some UI elements disappearing (sliders) when interacting with them,
- some post-processing artifacts on the right and bottom parts of the screen,
People often mention slow loading times but I find them OK. Not fast but not to the point the get annoying.
As for the game it's a brainless old school shooter with tons of things to kill and nice weapons to do so. I find it quite fun.
