    However, some guns feel too light, loading screens take quite a time, interfaces are clunky and naturally, you have to be fond of a certain repetitiveness. There could have been a little more interaction and more quests in your main base. Coop's story progression is only for the host, but you keep the instanced items.    … Expand

    A crazy RIOT of a game and a terrific experience all around. Devolver Digital really lived up to its name with this incredible FPS semi-open world mobkill shooter-slasher.

As someone who is tired of generic shooters like Halo, this one really delivers in being simply fun and insane. You run around, dash like madman all the time and slash and shoot demons/people/robots. Lo Wang is a humorous racist and is a very welcome and likeable protagonist. The characters are campy and the dialogue is faux-wisdom and cliche-ridden but to a funny level- what else can you expect? It's almost like a Serious Sam but with better graphics and MELEE combat with katanas, energy blades and chainsaws. The controls are very smooth and fluid and you have minimum cooldown dash, which quickly becomes your mode of transport--- great idea. Gunplay is fast and solid and my only gripe is the atrocious inventory system and the gameplay is easy, even at the highest difficulty level. It's addictive and very fun and relaxing to play after a long day at work. Play this game and hours will pass without you noticing! The guns and melee weapons selection is substantial but not too plentiful. Also, they should have added a free roam. The assault rifles and SMGs are also too weak and should have been given a boost. The graphics are very good and the FPS is well-optimized for PC gameplay. I like how refreshing this game is and it is a worthy successor to the series. I got this on GOG sale at a huge discount and it has to be one of my best purchases ever. If you are looking for a fun and wild RIOT shooter/slasher and just want to play and make things go boom and splat without much thinking about the story or details, grab this for an explosive experience!… Expand

    Way better than I expected it to be! It did get a bit repetitive, but it had just enough depth and a lot of well written dialogue.

    Lo Wang is a hired mercenary kind of guy who is contracted to rescue a damsel, only to screw it up and wind up with her stuck in his head. From there-the story takes some turns and I had no idea what was going on for the last quarter of the game. Maybe it would be more clear if I had played the first entry in the series.

    The dialogue was very well written, though, even when the story lost me. There are quite a few funny lines and Lo Wang is basically a shogun version of Deadpool, which worked well. Some of the jokes were a little eye-rolling or childish, but it had more hits than misses!

    The combat is excellent, with tons of different melee weapons and guns. I found that you could salad-shred your way through most problems with just a sword, but it was nice to have the option for a cool gun as well. I do think that the amount of skills and upgrades might have been a bit much. It's not really the type of game that warrants stopping and figuring out what medallion has the best bonus. But that doesn't really detract much and by the end I didn't put much time into it.

    The only major downside is that it is repetitive. You will revisit the same levels over and over and fight the same enemies or slightly different variations. It gets a bit boring even though the game is short. By the end I was running through the levels instead of stopping for each fight.

    I would still recommend the game over all and it was an excellent Game Pass game. You'll finish it quickly and might not play it again, but it is definitely a good way to spend 8hrs or so!    … Expand

    Great game for DOOM/Wolfenstein fans. I had plenty of fun, the game offers a huge adrenaline and fast paced shooting/sword fighting. The landscape is amazing: from cyberpunk scenarios to hell! A worth choice to have plenty of fun and have some laugh.

    Shadow Warrior is one of the best shooters that released in 2016, simply put.

    For starters, the game is one of the most well optimized titles from that year, I tested this with my 4690K and both my GTX 770 and 1070, and I could achieve more than 60 FPS with both setups and a decent image quality overall; the game scales well down to the minimum spec hardware, that's for sure, and then    Shadow Warrior is one of the best shooters that released in 2016, simply put.

    For starters, the game is one of the most well optimized titles from that year, I tested this with my 4690K and both my GTX 770 and 1070, and I could achieve more than 60 FPS with both setups and a decent image quality overall; the game scales well down to the minimum spec hardware, that's for sure, and then runs amazingly well on more powerful PCs.

    Graphically it has all the options and settings that a proper PC game should have and are within the engine's specs, it even has HDR support (still not too common in 2016) and a new NVIDIA peripheral resolution rendering technique called Multi-res Shading, which makes the peripheral section of the screen to render at a lower resolution, thus giving us extra performance at no noticeable difference because it's on the peripheral region and our brains won't notice it as much as the things we're looking at directly. Clever, and it works really well, indeed.

    When it comes to sound assets, I can't find any issues either, the game sounds great, most weapons have a different sound from each other, they sound like they're the real deal and they're meant to destroy our enemies into a million pieces, that's what we want, and the music is amazing too with some nice tracks now and then, especially for important moments like the boss fights.

    Gameplay is where the game is at its best though, it's amazing, this is a very, very fast paced shooter where you'll be using the DASH key a lot, both in and out of combat, but it really shines in combat, it's like a dance of death and carnage if you manage to master the use of the dash key and its different movement combinations and aerial tricks you can perform. Also, just like it happens with DOOM, you need to keep switching weapons in a fight, to be able to deal with different types of enemies and their different elemental resistances. I've read some people complain about bullet-sponge enemies but I've finished the game on HARD and there's always a way to quickly deal with these so called "sponges" and that's by carrying a proper weapon with the correct element imbued to it, it's simple.

    Furthermore, some people seem to not even use their CHI for anything but healing, that's wrong too, Chi powers can help you bring down some enemies, and even deal with groups in a more efficient way; the game is all about mastering all the ninja arts Lo Wang is capable of, and not just running around with a shotgun: it can be done but it's not what the whole game has to offer, so keep that in mind, it gets deeper than that, believe me.

    Now, the controversial part of this game is clearly the LOOT system and its departure from the previous games, especially from the 2013 reboot of the series. This game has loot, like a Borderlands game but not to that extreme extent though, as in you won't be looting a gazillion weapons every level, like it happens in Borderlands, but you surely get a lot of upgrade items to insert in your weapons, armor, etc. Many of these are worthless at first and you should sell most of them, until you reach a point in the game where the forge is open to you and then you can fuse these items into higher quality ones.

    But some people don't like this departure from the traditional, linear, design, that's alright but we have to keep in mind the previous title is also a very decent game on its own, a proper remake of a crazy first person shooter from the 90's. What Shadow Warrior 2 offers is more of that craziness but under a new less linear format, with free roam options and of course cooperative multiplayer, which are great additions to the original formula.

    The gore and violence are increased a lot in this sequel too, and the special effects look amazing, this game has so much going on the screen at any given time, in combat, that it's amazing how well it runs. Also...some of the smoke and fog effects are one of the best I've ever seen for this type of game, especially for 2016, and even today.

    My final verdict for this game is: if you like fast paced, old school style shooters with cheesy humor, over the top violence and cool looking enemies and absurdly over powered weapons...get this game, the price on release was just right for what this game offers (took me 30 hours to finish the game on Hard difficulty in single player, and then it has coop and New Game Plus too), and today is quite often on sale (it was even free in GOG at some point, if I remember correctly). It's worth the money for the amount of fun I've had and I'll keep having with it in the future, but it's not exactly the same as the previous title from 2013 as I mentioned.

    Still, as a First Person Shooter fan, this game was one of my favorites for 2016, along with DOOM. A very solid 10 because it does a lot of things that other FPS don't, and then what the others do, Shadow Warrior 2 just...does quite well xD. As a fan of these types of games, for me it's a 10.    … Expand

    Since its inception, Shadow Warrior - as a close cousin of Duke Nukem 3D - always has the "touch" of an over-the-top (gameplay wise), non-sensical (narratively speaking) and self-conscious (inside jokes) video game.
    SW2 is all of that, plus a complete shift from linear missions to non-linear ones, combining procedural level generation and random enemy placement for maximum replayability -    Since its inception, Shadow Warrior - as a close cousin of Duke Nukem 3D - always has the "touch" of an over-the-top (gameplay wise), non-sensical (narratively speaking) and self-conscious (inside jokes) video game.
    SW2 is all of that, plus a complete shift from linear missions to non-linear ones, combining procedural level generation and random enemy placement for maximum replayability - which is good on theory, but can be both a blessing (more play !) and a curse (will that game ever end ?)
    The good news is all that is built on top of a rock solid "gun" feel that can be customized to fit your playstyle using upgrades.
    A quick note on upgrade though, contrary to consumables, they tend to "stack up" so you might be tempted to sell them. Resist that temptation since money will not be an issue and instead wait until you have access to Crafting (so you can convert low level upgrades into higher level ones).
    Also, learn their different effects, how they can affect both your damage output and you "shooting flow" since at higher levels of difficulty they can really make a huge difference :)
    One quick tip for upgrades (that took me about 50 hours to "find") is the ability to use a filter to sort the upgrades by parameter ! (It's on the top right of any upgrade list). So instead of checking each upgrade entry, use the filters !    … Expand

The story i dont care too much, is wortless but i didn't chose this game at first becouse of that, i chose for gunplay and movements and all that.

    What i really miss in this game, is a true replayability design, it has a bit of that with Orbs of masamune farming and upgrading weapons to insanity. But it lacks a few things that could have done this job better like a randomizer quests, more variations on locations, better prices for weapon upgrades.

    Anyway, dont forget the sell price of the game, is not a full AAA title and thats why i can forgive the lack of a good storyline. If you dont care to much for storyline, and really like to kick some ass and enjoy upgrading weapons and skills and being statisfy just by the fact of being OP. Then this is your game.    … Expand

Lo Wang is at times annoying an offensive, but he still finds a way to be funny and move the plot along. Combat is very fun, fast paced, and open to where you can move about freely and kill according to your style. There are plenty of weapons, tons of upgrades, and a decent array of skills to take advantage of. I would have liked to see more offensive skills that aren't tied to melee, but swordplay is still satisfying. Overall I was impressed by many different aspects of the game, most importantly though would be the combat and graphics. Shadow Warrior 2 pumped up at 4K with max textures is a pleasure to look at and has a very unique art style. A few areas of improvement for the game could include better itemization and an expanded leveling system where you control more of your characters' attributes.… Expand

    A great game with too much repeat
    Shadow Warrior 2 is a first person shooter slash hack and slash game where you play as lo Wang...
    The story starts with this girl getting possessed and her soul leaving her body and entering yours...
    so you have a girl in your head, and not in a good way..
    You spend the rest of the game trying to reunite her soul with her possessed body…
    The first half of this about 6 hour campaign if you stick to just the story, closer to 10 if you play around with side missions is pure joy…
    The most fun I’ve had in a game in a while…
    The levels here are pretty open, there’s platforming double jumps and climbing ledges, and everything feels extremely smooth and polished…
    The game is delivered through a hub area where you take on quests and sell items.. You then open your map, choose the mission location and teleport there…
    There’s a marker on the map for every mission with dots leading the way...
    And in these world are tons of enemies trying to kill you that you could ignore unless they’re tied to the objective or you can slice them up for drops and xp…
    There’s an insane amount of variety in weapons and upgrades to make your weapons feel unique….
    You can get both from enemy drops, shops, completing missions, and chests around the open maps…
    This amount of variety is a gift and a curse though because there’s so much choice that it feels almost paralyzing…
    Enemies are dropping all of these items constantly and you have so much to sift through that it feels overwhelming and I just started ignoring them since what I had was getting the job done…
    the mission design and world design overall is initially varied and well-designed fun to play through…
    but onto the 2nd half of the campaign… where you have to go back to levels you’ve already been to..
    and on top of that they throw in keycards where oh you get to a door and its locked, run back the way you came and kill the enemy holding it and then run all the way back here…
    I’ve never been a fan of replaying levels, and I never will be… shadow warrior 2 is no exception despite how fun and satisfying this combat is…
    it feels great going from katana, to gun with the tap of a button, pulling out a chainsaw or using your powers to pull spikes out of the ground
    On top of dropping upgrades and weapons, enemies also drop chi and health packs,
    And you can increase the drop rate, effectiveness along with other perks using the skill points you get from completing missions and leveling up…
    and you need this chi to pull these spikes up or blast overwhelming enemies back…
    And while the combat is fun, it’s not even my favorite part of the game..
    The writing, it’s hilarious, its sweet…
    it always keeps you waiting for the punchline, and I was laughing from start to finish at the banter between every character in the game…
    Combat banter is there too, but of course it starts repeating and gets old pretty quickly…
    The only other issue I had with this game aside from repeat levels, is a bug in the trials…
    after completing a trial it wouldn’t let me leave so I had to back out into the main menu… this caused me to lose the progress of an entire mission I completed because you have to save the game by crossing the path of a shrine… there is no auto save.. A little annoying... so I didn’t touch these trials beyond the first… which means I stayed away from the crafting system here..
    And again... the choices are overwhelming as it is, I didn’t need more choices…
    Shadow Warrior 2 is a blast to play through, one of the most enjoyable first person shooters in recent memory…

    Lewd, crude, and possibly dangerous to know, Shadow Warriors 2 is nonetheless a rollicking first person shooter full of boomsticks and gibs.

    Fun and frantic, but soon grows tiresome. [Issue#181, p.78]

    Shadow Warrior 2 is amazing. The shift from linear to semi-open-world shooter hasn't hurt the game since the action remains constant and adheres to the classic shooter style over the more modern one. The multitude of new weapons gives the game some variety, even when taking artifacts into account, and the solid combat ties everything together into a very enjoyable package, whether you're going solo or cooperatively. It ranks up there with Doom as one of the best pure shooters of the year and one of the best timed exclusives on the PC in this genre.
