In this game you don't say GG when you lose, because it's not a good game...it's a bad game. In the following review I will outline all the problems with pixel gun 3D systematically and in over 1000 words.

----SPEND 500 DOLLARS TO UNLOCK THE REST OF THIS REVIEW-----

If you're a returning player of Pixel Gun, read on. If you're new here, save your time and find a different game to play. Trust me on this one.

Pixel Gun 3D is a game I loved during my high school years, and is quite nostalgic to return to. It's safe to say that any live service game would be different after all those years, but Pixel Gun has changed for the worse, completely bogging the game down with ludicrous amounts of microtransactions, introducing a battle pass, an overwhelming variety of different premium currencies. It wasn't always like this, but nowadays the game is downright predatory, let alone the most pay to win game I've ever seen.

Despite all that, it's a guilty pleasure of mine. I returned to it when it was ported to PC, and I'll admit I still play from time to time. It's core gameplay is the same, fast-paced and fun multiplayer I enjoyed back in the day- but most of the time I'm winning isn't because I'm good at the game, but because I shelled out money for better guns. It's fun in the moment, but not rewarding long term, and even after spending money- there's always going to be somebody who spent more than you. It's extremely obvious when somebody one-shots you and takes over three headshots to kill in return, with a weapon that also usually one-shots people. While the game is the definition of pay to win, it also doesn't help that it's just terribly balanced.

The single player campaign is just as pay to win as the multiplayer, and has a genuinely uninteresting "story" that doesn't seem to know what it wants to be. The levels themselves are boring, basically coming down to how you're going to cheese each one, because if you don't cheese it you won't get three stars. Pair that with random difficulty spikes, and lack of cool/useful rewards, it's a huge waste of time.

Pixel Gun 3D is a far cry from what it used to be, but still has the core gameplay I fell in love with. If you're a new player, who decided to keep reading despite my warning- stay away. If you're a returning player, and you have any amount of self control, it's worth popping in for a few games just for nostalgia's sake, but otherwise it's not worth the time of day. Pixel Gun- as far as it's predatory monetization, awful campaign, and terrible balancing- is everything a game SHOULDN'T be.

TLDR; pay to win, terrible single-player campaign, too many premium currencies, terrible balancing, predatory monetization

1,400+ hours on record before game was ported to Steam.

Shortened review:
I urge you with every ounce of my soul to never touch this game. It is genuine garbage.
Anyone who legitimately thinks this is a well-designed game needs to seek mental help.


More detailed review:

Played since 2014. Currently level 63. Highest is 65.

Don't play. Waste of time and effort.
Crappy pay to win nonsense and constant ads. Go play better games. Stay away from this garbage.

High level games are filled with either sweats living in their mum's basement or straight up aimbot fly hackers.
Progression means nothing as the rewards gained from levelling can be easily gained by spending a bit of money.

why the ♥♥♥♥ did install this

Pay to Win nonsense

pay to win

this game is greedy as crap

If anybody ever reads this I'm guessing you already know all about pg3d, but in case not:

do not play this game

having an account from many years ago that was made good before it became impossible to become good without spending money, I play death matches at max level (65) and get 50 kills- in other words I am that annoyingly overpowered guy who one shots you before you can pull out a weapon, and ruins the game for everyone - and this account has spent less than 5 dollars in history. Three cat spammers don't stand a chance when I whip out my max anti champion ritfle lmao.

Also the devs are ass. Being a returning player from several years ago I can vouch for the greediness and low quality of what they provide. The game has always been poorly made, and then it became slowly more pay to win.

To avoid wasting your time, avoid this game. Even as an over powered player, this game is barely enjoyable despite one shoting every person I see and casually getting kill streaks of 5-10 without being touched.

0/10.

p2w

just like the mobile version and just as cash grabby. too many bots in multiplayer and story mode is too grindy
