    I find it hard to find anything positive to say about the game. The humor is funny, perhaps? The most frustrating thing are the controls. Double tap in one direction with the stick and then press another key? Hello? I got it working about once every six times, which lead to extremely frustrating experience when you'd need to use one of the ki-strikes in a tight spot.

I got it working about once every six times, which lead to extremely frustrating experience when you'd need to use one of the ki-strikes in a tight spot. I ended up deleting the game because of that -- I've never done that before, ha, ha! Gaming's supposed to be fun, not annoying! Maybe it's just me, but over the 20+ years of playing video games, I've never felt this frustrated. Thankfully I only paid a few dollars for the game when it was on sale. Again, it could be just me, but this is a strong no buy from my perspective. Spend your money on another game.… Expand

    I like my first person shooters, a lot. Every so often its nice to play a mindless shooter, but this game is just far too sh1t to recommend anyone to play. The graphics are like last generation. The physics are slow to respond. The voice over is just lazy and the actual old school gameplay is boring. I turned this off when I came across an exploding bicycle cart and vending machines.

The physics are slow to respond. The voice over is just lazy and the actual old school gameplay is boring. I turned this off when I came across an exploding bicycle cart and vending machines. I felt as though you had to put time and effort into this game to see any sort of enjoyment out of it. The first 2 hours of gameplay just dragged along, by far the worst game I have played on the PS4. I'm surprised Devolver Digital had anything to do with this game. Hotline Miami is such a great game, Shadow Warrior however, is not. 2/10 for a lazy effort.… Expand

    The game proper? 7/10 The developer and publisher? Big fat 0/10.
    There is a bug on PS4 where if you have too many friends in your Friends list (I think over 100?) the game will crash unless you stay signed out of PSN when you launch it and the whole time you are playing. I have sent countless e-mails, tweets, and Facebook posts to the developers and publishers but they have made clear    The game proper? 7/10 The developer and publisher? Big fat 0/10.
    There is a bug on PS4 where if you have too many friends in your Friends list (I think over 100?) the game will crash unless you stay signed out of PSN when you launch it and the whole time you are playing. I have sent countless e-mails, tweets, and Facebook posts to the developers and publishers but they have made clear they are simply "not interested" in fixing this massive bug in both the retail and digital copies because "few people" are affected. Yeah right! New posts pop up on Facebook all the time with people having this same problem. I even told them its related to the friends list and how someone deleted all their friends to fix the issue. And how my alt account with 0 friends doesn't have the issue. But they still have no interest in fixing it. So, I have no interest in buying any more of their games or in giving them a fair review. SHAME ON YOU Devolver Digital and Flying Wild Hog. SHAME ON YOU.    … Expand

    It's undeniably simple. [Christmas 2014, p.88]

    The 'humour' occasionally feels flat. [Christmas 2014, p.78]

    It may need help to stand tall, but when it's pumped with blood, it rocks. [Christmas 2014, p76]
