    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.

    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.

    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.

    Overall, Shadow Warrior 3: Definitive Edition brings more Shadow Warrior 3 to its fans. You know exactly what you get with Shadow Warrior 3: fast-paced combat, wise-cracking jokes, and a pretty streamlined experience. The Definitive Edition gives players more to do and allows them to go back to their favorite parts of the game. In addition, it brings a higher quality of the game to current-gen consoles. As far as Definite Editions go, Shadow Warrior 3 does a solid job in implementation.

    Shadow Warrior 3 ends up being just ‘ok’ in the grand scheme of things and especially in comparison to the games around it. Lo Wang deserves better and if the fates will it we will get to hang out with our pal Wang again soon.

    As it stands, Shadow Warrior 3 is a fine game, and the Definitive Edition will be a welcome upgrade to owners of the original console versions, but it only manages to meet expectations while also running it under a track of abrasive banter. It’s like playing skeeball while the fire alarms keep going off. It’s not a bad way to spend your time, but you might be happier if you went and found out what’s burning.

    While a really fun experience, its lacking environments and incredibly short playtime make this a hard game to recommend at full price. But it most definitely is a game worth playing on sale or if you have it already and want to check out the PS5 or Xbox Series X upgrades. The frustrating combat scenes, simple environments and plain environments make it hard for even Lo Wang to quip into greatness.

    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 occasionallyA 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.
    Was also really impressed with the production value in this game the visuals especially look great.    … Expand

    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 DoomOverall, 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'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

    The bad :

    The ugly :
    - no manual saves
    - in a few places, forced to restart at the beginning if death : very frustrating.
    - very repetitive.

    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
