"Bulletstorm" is a first-person shooter developed by People Can Fly and published by Electronic Arts, released in March 2011. Set in a vibrant, dystopian future, the game follows the story of Grayson Hunt, a disgraced former soldier of the Earth Empire who seeks revenge against his former commanding officer, who betrayed him and his team. The gameplay is distinguished by its unique "Skillshot" system, which encourages players to eliminate enemies in creative and stylish ways.

Players can kick, whip, or manipulate enemies into hazardous traps, making each encounter feel fresh and engaging. The colorful and exaggerated art style contributes to the game's over-the-top action, and the narrative is infused with dark humor, adding an additional layer of entertainment. With its campaign mode as well as additional modes like Echoes and a multiplayer component, "Bulletstorm" offers various ways to experience its exhilarating gameplay, marking it as a standout title in the genre during its time.
