    Shadow Warrior 2 applies subtle, modern tweaks to a known formula, adds entirely new systems to good effect, and polishes the whole thing to a blinding shine.

    It’s DOOM without the claustrophobia. A Serious Sam + Borderlands cocktail with weighty, thumping, exciting, speedy combat. Diablo in first-person, with wide open spaces, packs of enemies, giant bosses and more weapons than you can shake a wang at. Shadow Warrior 2 is anarchic, excessive, ridiculous, occasionally spectacular and almost entirely wonderful.

    Game looks amazing I would recomend to anybody even if you may not like shooters because its so much more! You can wield a variety of swordsGame looks amazing I would recomend to anybody even if you may not like shooters because its so much more! You can wield a variety of swords and guns. It is a reboot of a 90s pc game that blends the best of old genres on better hardware. Even the first game was great from 2013, this one just became a low key, goty possibly. So first off... Graphics are great! Very high fps! Funny, crude humor that most video games dont use! Demons! Rpg! Good music! Story is ok! Acting is good! Crafting! Variety of landscape! Unigue guns and weapons! Bright colors! Powers! 2-4 player Co-op! And best of all the gameplay is so fun and fluid, switching between favorites in your arsenal is very fast and combat is an over the top rampage that doesnt get boring or repetive. This is a fast paced, action-packed revenge mission with a badass protaganist. Lo Wang.… Full Review »

    As an fps shooter it's mediocre at best. There is a lot of meaningless and dull grinding loot in a game. In fast pace fps shooter thereAs an fps shooter it's mediocre at best. There is a lot of meaningless and dull grinding loot in a game. In fast pace fps shooter there shouldn’t be too many elements that takes you away from the flow of the game, but I feel that this game does it all the time. You'll spend a lot of time in menus optimizing and upgrading weapons and skills. And all of upgrades aren’t that good either. It just feels like developers did that on purpose, just to make this game last longer. It's fine if you like it, but for me, it ruins the flow and immersion. We don't need a lot of perks and tons of sh***y loot in fast paced shooters. The newest Doom did balanced that perfectly. There were some upgrades and perks in Doom, but it didn't destroy the game flow. It was quick and fluid, which I liked a lot. The shooting, in the game, doesn't feel that precise either. The weapons, in the game (that goes specially to the guns) luck the feeling of heaviness, feeling of that you are using some badass weapon, like Doom 2016 have. The shooting feels kind of cartoony and uninspiring. There is no weight to the weapons, no realism at all. The graphic is good, but I have seen better. The particle effects look kind of low resolution and not that impressive, in my opinion. I personally wasn't impressed by the gameplay at all and after playing Doom this year I feel that this game feels like a downgrade on all levels. But the game is chip and it will get cheaper as time passes. I would recommend this game to those who like loot hunting and shooting. It can be entertaining for some people.… Full Review »
