Bulletstorm: Full Clip Edition
While it isn't quite the neglected classic some claim, Bulletstorm was always a fantastic, hugely entertaining FPS. Nothing about that has changed: this remaster does a good job of bringing the visuals more up to date, and if you’re an FPS lover and haven’t played it, you really should.

So it all comes back to that original question: what is the ideal purpose of a remaster? In this case, it certainly does represent a second chance for Bulletstorm to be recognised and applauded for its innovations, and there's a genuine thrill to getting to grips once again with the renegade blaster.

What mistake would you fix if given the chance? What regret would you try to undo? Would you win the heart of the one that got away? Could you steal the spotlight at that critical social moment while bar hopping? Would you feed that bully from your...

For longtime fans, Full Clip Edition doesn't offer much to be excited about. Additions like Overkill Mode and the upgraded visuals are certainly welcome, but fundamentally, this the same game they already played in 2011. That said, the experience absolutely holds up: the skillshot system remains wildly fun and inventive, the weapons are still a gruesome joy, and the writing...well, it's as distinctive as ever. If you missed Bulletstorm when it originally released--and based on sales numbers, you probably did--now's the time to treat yourself to a clever if cringe-worthy blockbuster.

Bulletstorm: Full Clip Edition is a great-looking remaster of a still fun, ridiculously over-the-top shooter from last generation that pokes fun at the genre while introducing its own distinctively violent, melee-heavy playstyle. On the other hand, it’s almost completely devoid of new content, which makes it less attractive for returning fans who were hoping for anything more than a facelift.

If you only ever experienced the original on consoles, though, Full Clip Edition might be more enticing. It speeds up the framerate, includes all the DLC, and even provides an insane new way to experience the campaign. Whether or not Duke adds to that is yet to be seen, but at least the main package lives up to its title.

Full Clip Edition represents the most complete and enhanced way to experience Bulletstorm, as some smart additions and an improved presentation help breathe new life into the 2011 FPS. Many of the game’s issues from the past still remain, as some questionable one-liners and depth-lacking modes are still present for this 2017 remaster. But the core FPS combat still remains one-of-a-kind among its fellow shooters, as the high-flying action urges to be experienced by both veterans and newcomers alike, as long as you’re willing to get your boots a little dirty.

Bulletstorm is obnoxious, crude, and silly. This was true of the 2011 release, and it's still the case in 2017, with People Can Fly partnering with Gearbox Software to remaster and rerelease the game.Still, I had a lot of fun playing the game, and...

The MSI GS60 Ghost has the power to justify the price tag, especially since it's considerably less expensive than Razer's laptops, but the build quality can make you forget that you spent close to $2,000 to acquire it. For PC gamers on the go, though,...

Bulletstorm had a fun idea before getting quietly shuffled away back in 2011. Now that Gearbox Publishing and People Can Fly are bringing a port with updated visuals touting higher-res textures, 4K resolution on PS4 and PC and new modes, maybe it'll...

Bulletstorm est sûrement l'un des plus gros jeux de la dernière génération mais qui n'a pas eu le succès qu'il méritait. Parce que tout le monde a le droit à une seconde chance et étant confiant de son potentiel, Gearbox s'associe avec People Can Fly...
