Bulletstorm
Bulletstorm is an FPS developed by People Can Fly and Epic Games.
The game is set in the 26th century, where the universe is run by the Confederation. The player controls the commander of a black ops unit Grayson Hunt who went rogue after realizing that the unit was tricked into killing civilians by its' superior, General Sarrano. 10 years pass when Grayson and his team come across Sarrano's cruiser, attempt to destroy it and crash land on a surface of a planet called Stygia which used to be a tropical-like resort.
The game focuses heavily on combat and features a scoring system named Skillshot. Players gain points for every kill, the more creative the murder is - the more points one gets. Environmental kills are valued the most. Points are used as currency that can be used to upgrade your weapons, buy new ones or get ammunition.
Players can carry three weapons with the assault rifle being the default one and can always be found in one's inventory.
There is no competitive multiplayer in Bulletstorm, but co-op and score attack modes are available.
On release, the developers made fun of other games in the marketing campaign. The dark humor was one of the defining aspects of Bulletstorm.
