What players say
Putrefaction 2: Void Walker is a noticeable step up from the first game. The original felt like it was trying to be a budget Doom clone, but this sequel leans more toward the Serious Sam style of arena shooting fast paced, over the top, and packed with waves of enemies. The gunplay is solid and the movement feels better this time around. Weapons have more punch, and the overall pacing is snappier. That said, it's...
