   I would like the start with the fact that I have never played Shadow Warrior 1 and I mostly play Shadow Warriors 2 in Co-op. I truly missedI would like the start with the fact that I have never played Shadow Warrior 1 and I mostly play Shadow Warriors 2 in Co-op. I truly missed games like Shadow Warrior 2, they have become so rare and sadly that has been especially the case on the PS4. Three weeks ago I started up the game for the first time, in single player, I played through the tutorial and afterwards, I directly closed the application. The gameplay wasn't bad it just felt a little weird, same for the Art Style and Graphics. I told my best buddies that I bought a game that was freaking awesome and playable in Co-op, but honestly, at the time I just wished it was awesome '' we really needed something fresh to play''. One of my friends directly liked the idea of the game, but was a little sceptical and wanted to see some gameplay through Share Play, so I started up the game (second time ever) and started playing. It took a full 15 minutes and bam we both became super enthusiastic. The Sword mechanics still felt a little bit weird but I was killing things with it and I slowly started to control the sword as a master. The game is extremely satisfying, as a coop experience, you both find your own loot, there is no reviving mechanic, meaning if one dies the monster's health bar just reset and I think that works extremely well. You constantly try to keep each other alive (you watch one another) instead of trying to get somebody back to life occasionally and that only strengthen the Co-op experience. This game has a lot of different difficulty settings from Easy to Insanity and Insanity has multiple difficulty levels on it own. Insanity 1 is the start, Insanity 2 is the logical next step, Insanity 3-4 is where the pain starts and from their, you start to wish again you could super fast revive your mate instead of resetting the monster's health bars you had been busy cutting into for the last 2 hours! Grrrrr, this game is great because it's not too easy, it doesn't hold your hand and tells you which mission you need to do, neither does it forces you a certain path on skill three, no ,no you free to go where you want to, and to molt and shape your character the way you like it '' I only hope for you, that you characters vision will work or you will keep dying a horrible death, over and over and over, reset, after reset, after reset.....… 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…
   I give Shadow Warrior 2
   an 8/10… Expand

   I expected more from this game. I beat it on co-op with my friend,and it was ok. Levels are usually the same thing over and over - Go there,I expected more from this game. I beat it on co-op with my friend,and it was ok. Levels are usually the same thing over and over - Go there, kill the enemies, take that artifact, go back, take another mission, take the artifact and rinse and repeat. The jokes and voice acting are good, the game has unnecesary too much weapon and character upgrades. Too much artifacts,perks and everything that it looks too much confusing. Overall, mediocre game.… Expand

   Being a fan of the previous Shadow Warrior I was excited to get this because I thought it would be more of the same. Unfortunately it isn't.Being a fan of the previous Shadow Warrior I was excited to get this because I thought it would be more of the same. Unfortunately it isn't. Shadow Warrior 2 is completely dissimilar to its predecessor. Instead of a fast paced, fun, action FPS, it's an open-world RPG with an uneven loot-based system. The original gameplay from the first Shadow Warrior is overhauled with the annoyances of bullet sponge enemies and lackluster upgrades.
   
   What was an enjoyable story with a witty protagonist is now a "been there, done that" journey with the same beats and plot points. The multiplayer is tacked on and unenjoyable, being that the host is the only player who actually progresses in their game. This sequel pales in comparison to the first Shadow Warrior.… Expand
