An actually innovative FPS experience! I don't remember playing any other shooter like this before, with so much dedication to all of these different weapon combos, enemy attacks and patterns and the unique ways to deal with all of them. The game's brutal, but worth the effort to learn it. Take care, though, since it's really addictive! And if the content the base game offers begins to feel too scarce, Ultrakill has …

After over 100 hours of playing this godforsaken game, i can say for sure that its the best fps game I've ever played or will play unless Ultrakill 2 happens. In my opinion, this is one of the best shooter games to hand to someone that isn't that good at fps games. I'm not proud to admit that I'm straight ass at most fps games, but it's the truth. with this game however, i was able perfect rank all of act one and …

This stupid ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ game has made me want to tear my face off of my head and eat it more times in my life than i have ever been happy. I have never been more purely infuriated than trying to put an end to that miserable piece of ♥♥♥♥ polygonal meat ♥♥♥♥ in order to fight the only good boss in the game for one sweet moment of release from the most accurate depiction of hell i have ever put myself through.

A retro action shooter with awesome movement and weapon tech, and some really cool secrets and puzzles hidden in the levels. It has a huge skill ceiling, so you'd be surprised at all the combos and techniques people come up with. For instance: you can shoot out a grenade, switch to pistol, and shoot it mid-air for a massive explosion

Absolute Cinema of game, I admit I'm really bad at the game.... But I'm still able to play, and the more I play, the better, so I get better scores like Prelude, 1st time: B-rank, now: S-rank... I accept being ♥♥♥♥ at the game, and grow from it !

Players who liked ULTRAKILL talk about innovative gameplay with unique weapon combos and enemy patterns; those who didn't talk about some players find it boring or not top-tier. Which matters more to you?
Critics, per Wikipedia
Ultrakill was praised for its movement mechanics and authenticity towards earlier arena shooters and first-person shooters. Christopher Livingston of PC Gamer described Ultrakill as faster and "even more metal than Doom Eternal" and commended the game for its verticality. It was also described as "[moving] like turbo Doom Eternal", in another PC Gamer article by Dominic Tarason, who noted that it "looks like a PSX game". It was also reviewed by Peter Glasgowski of TheGamer, who wrote that "...Ultrakill ticked off every box for me." On 15 May 2024, the game had achieved 100,000 Steam reviews with a 98% approval rating. On 8 December 2022, Ultrakill gained official controller rumble support,…

The Encores (unlocked after beating the game) remix rooms from previous levels with advanced enemy encounters and some new twists. #ULTRAKILL youtu.be/jAr9wjUmYoA
neutral · AI labelView post →Fun fact: In 2017, before ULTRAKILL, I worked on a short horror game that mixed together PT and the Black Lodge from Twin Peaks with randomized "scares" (creeps? eeries?). I only worked on it for 2 days, but some files from it still live on in the ULTRAKILL project. youtu.be/1DxaxjaZfIY
neutral · AI labelView post →I was honestly really proud of the Gabriel design I worked on and the research I put into it, but instead of people talking about him I had to put up with Ultrakill fans making bad jokes for weeks because they think the game invented putting golden crosses on helmets :”/
neutral · AI labelView post →I made an account for ULTRAKILL now, so I'll be posting the screenshot saturdays and such there, for people who only care about the game and not about whatever I'm watching or listening to. There was also another ULTRAKILL account that already existed, but I have no idea who made that.

neutral · AI labelView post →People make fun of the phrase "it's a good game, but a bad (franchise) game" but That's Real Though. That's a completely understandable, sane position to be in. If there was a Gears of War game that played like Ultrakill, no matter how fun it was to play, it'd be a dogshit GoW entry.

neutral · AI labelView post →I waited a couple of years before I got a PC to run Doom 2016, and ten years after that I still find this game was worth waiting for it. It's a short and polished journey, almost without overcomplications and trash mechanics populating/polluting it's sequel. Remastered Doom keeps it all constrained to deliver a glimpse of what OG Doom can look like made today. It's an arena after arena of tight bloody fights with demons to the beat of an awesome soundtrack. Nothing more and nothing less, just…

And this game comforted me. I don't know why, considering the contents of the game, but it did. It got me through my depression that came from my mother's passing. This game has seen comforted me at the worst and humbled me at my best, and I am forever grateful that this game exists. Thank you to the community for making me laugh. Thank you to…
