Some videogames stand the test of time, offering an experience you’ll never quite forget, and The Astronauts’ co-founder Adrian Chmielarz has worked on at least three of them. First, there’s Gears of War and its 2013 spinoff, Gears of War: Judgement. Then there’s Bulletstorm, with its creative skill points system and chaotic, baudy action and broad sense of humor. And, finally, there’s Painkiller, a cult classic FPS game known for its horror-tinged atmosphere and big, punchy guns. Spawning spiritual sequels, remakes, and now Anshar Studio’s 2025 reboot, I ask Chmielarz what he thinks of the IP’s latest entry. His response? “Next question, please.” Then he bursts out laughing.
