Summary

Today, the gaming industry is riddled with first-person shooters that try to become as realistic as possible. The craze is centered on semi-realistic damage, bullet drops, and true to life recoil. Bulletstorm: Full Clip edition is a breath of fresh air, since it offers an arcade-y feel. It’s more of a Serious Sam and Borderlands than PUBG and Battlefield. Note that you’ll have to spray dozens of bullets to take down rampaging enemies and make heads explode with well-timed skillshots.

Though it’s not exactly your traditional FPS today, should you give it a shot or are you better off causing a “bullet storm” in other shooting games? Let’s check out what it has to offer:

Plotline

Bulletstorm’s plot is a classic tale of friendship, teamwork, and revenge. Instead of a bright and optimistic coming of age story though, this is filled with bullets, blood, exploding heads, dismembered body parts, and gore. It’s not a tale of ponies and rainbows but of spaceships, guns, and other mature themes. The game is full of profanity, but if you want a PG experience, you can always disable gore and get rid of the interesting vocabulary in the settings.

Without diving deep into spoilers, you will take the mantle of Grayson Hunt, a captain of a Black Ops squad. He and his band of dysfunctional marksmen are misled into killing innocent people by a top-ranking official named General Sarrano. Once they discover the bigger scheme of things, they turn into outlaws to exact revenge and in a twisted way, justice. You’ll get to interact with Hunt’s squadmates like Ishi, Rell, and Doc who are rather colorful characters.

Gameplay

Bulletstorm is an action-packed, arcade-y first-person shooter. There isn’t an ounce of realism in this game. Both human and mutant opponents take at least 10 shots to the head to kill. Early in the game, you’ll get to acquire a gadget called the energy leash which grants you several abilities. These include grabbing and lasso-ing enemies, interacting with the environment, and lets you gain access to information about them.

Apart from firing a hail of bullets towards your enemies, a major part of the gameplay lies on charged shots and skill shots. The guns lets you charge up and fire alternate shots. For example, an assault rifle can fire a volley of bullets in front of you while a Flailgun can make the chains it fires cut through enemies like a hot knife through a block of butter. You can carry three weapons at the same time and granted, you will have a lot of firearm choices. This is perfect considering that you’ll have enemies like standard grunts and gigantic mutants.

Skillshots are one of the game’s fun and interesting elements. This happens when you kill enemies in creative and destructive ways. The more unique the kill, the more points you will receive. For example, if you use an energy leash to pull an enemy towards spikes or traps, you’ll earn more than a standard shot to the head. Other creative ways to kill include using a flailgun to wrap grenades across an enemy’s head or to use a cannon in close range. The points you earn are used to purchase new firearms and items in “dropkits” scattered across the game’s many areas.

Community

Bulletstorm has a multiplayer mode which is largely uninhabited on the PlayStation 4 and rather disappointing. The game shines as a single player shooter, so it’s best to stick to the story mode. The game has a small community on Steam and Reddit, and you can join up and chat if you want to talk about the game.

Graphics/Sound

Bulletstorm: Full Clip Edition is an outstanding remaster of the original Bulletstorm. Compared to the 2011’s last-gen edition, the environments are more detailed. The game feels more immersive whether you’re fighting inside a crashed spaceship or an urban jungle. Even the blood and gore is turned up a notch, with finer, smaller details like scattered entrails and dismembered limbs standing out more. This makes every blast of a cannon or a shotgun feel more satisfying since you can see even the smallest results of your work.

In terms of audio and voice acting, you’re in for a treat. Enemies actually react and speak when you shoot, kick, and throw them around. Explosions and the booms and cackle of gunfire feel natural. The characters are voiced and fits the crass humor and profanity-filled dialogue. Though the script isn’t enough to warrant a Hollywood remake, it will give you a barrel of laughs every now and then.

Conclusion

Overall, Bulletstorm: Full Clip Edition is a perfect example of an arcade FPS and is something you would want to play. The game turns wanton destruction into an art form. The variety of weapons and environments means you will almost never run out of ways to creatively take out enemies. If you’re a PlayStation Plus member, downloading and playing it is a no-brainer.
