About

Stranded in a place between Heaven and Hell, your time of judgment is at hand. The Underworld is on the verge of unholy war, and you are but a pawn in the infernal battle. As you fight for your purification, the truths behind the deceptions are revealed. Painkiller puts you in a nightmarish world where monsters swarm you in mobs. Eliminate your enemies using a variety of weapons and using your power to morph into a possessed creature.

AI-powered picks based on gameplay, mechanics & feel

Doom

Doom

Trade demons for ghosts, but keep the relentless pace and over-the-top violence. Doom's arena-style combat and aggressive power-ups offer the same visceral thrill as Painkiller's demon-slaying ballet.

Helldivers 2

Helldivers 2

Team up, rain down hellfire, and watch the chaos unfold. Helldivers 2's chaotic co-op and emphasis on tactical teamwork scratch the same itch as Painkiller's multiplayer modes, but with a galactic twist.

78% Match
Dying Light

Dying Light

Parkour through a zombie-infested city, then unleash brutal melee attacks. Dying Light's blend of parkour and gory combat provides a different flavor of action, but still delivers the same adrenaline rush.
