    Great fps game. I like new approach to finisher mechanic. I also enjoyed boss fights. It is arena like shooter with tons of shooting and action. Deep environmental opportunities during fights.

    The good :
    - good optimization
    - good graphics - frantic action. - good weapons choice. The bad : - childish humor - uninteresting story - a Doom Eternal clone - chi power useless.

    I did not end the game because of the frustration generated by being forced to start again and again a few difficult places from the beginning.    … Expand

    A high octane fps that delivers a ton of fun. So much better then sw2. A great soundtrack as well although the audio pops out occasionally when the action really gets going. The first one still has the best story, but this one is just a pure blast from start to finish. Also the collector in me is very happy that they released a hard copy. Great game.

    Overall, possibly the best of the current iteration of Shadow Warrior. That is due in part, however, to the fact it's nearly identical to Doom Eternal gameplay-wise. Picture Doom Eternal made on a budget and written by a team that thinks its funny to say things like cock or to reference Fast and the Furious. Yeah, it's humor is still bad, but at this point, it almost becomes part of it'sOverall, possibly the best of the current iteration of Shadow Warrior.

Picture Doom Eternal made on a budget and written by a team that thinks its funny to say things like cock or to reference Fast and the Furious. Yeah, it's humor is still bad, but at this point, it almost becomes part of it's charm. The gameplay as mentioned is doing everything it can to emulate Doom Eternal, but it's still fun regardless. I won't complain about playing dozens of Doom Eternal clones, that gameplay loop activates my ape brain in satisfying ways. Buy on sale, and skip the cutscenes.… Expand

    Overall though I continue to find the Shadow Warrior games a lot of fun… it’s nice to have a different main character to the muscle bound blond balls of brawn we are usually provided. Lo Wang is the hero we don’t deserve… but he’s all we’ve got… and it’s a lot of fun playing as him.

    I can’t judge Shadow Warrior 3: Definitive Edition on how well it matches up with its predecessors. What I can do, however, is judge Shadow Warrior 3: Definitive Edition on how much fun it is – and by that metric, I can’t imagine a more enjoyable game.

    In all, Shadow Warrior 3 is a fun game with a few minor issues that may not even be issues depending on the player. The game is also receiving constant support, with a Definitive Edition next-gen upgraded release that is free to anyone that already owns Shadow Warrior 3 and will be available at a discounted price for anyone interested in the fast-paced combat that Lo Wang specializes in.
