May 31, 2017Shadow Warrior 2 surprised me. It takes a chance by adopting a more open-ended structure, but it pays off. All the humour of the original game remains intact, and there’s more emphasis on you simply having fun, whether that’s by yourself or with others. And what fun it is.

Jul 24, 2017Even though Lo Wang and his encyclopedia of offensive terms can get a little tiresome by the end of the journey, Flying Wild Hog squeezed a lot of play variety onto this disc. Deftly combining looting and RPG elements with speedy, accessible sword and shooting mechanics, they’ve created an unforgettable experience for fans of console first-person gaming.

May 25, 2017Shadow Warrior 2 is an old school FPS, with frantic gameplay, great design elements and incredible fun. Its constant jokes made us smile throughout more than 12 hours of gunpowder and blood.

Jun 7, 2017Shadow Warrior 2 is not only one of the most beautiful FPS of Xbox One, it also has blood, guts, humor and a lot of hidden fun. Despite that some bugs and the obvious graphics differences with the PC version could damage the experience, it's going to surprise you with the numerous options of personalization and the notorious gameplay.

Jun 8, 2017The return of the Wang in a deeper adventure. Fast, furious, bullet spitting, katana swinging fun.

May 30, 2017Those familiar with the franchise will no doubt be happy to see that Lo Wang has returned. With his trusty katana and arsenal of bad jokes, Wang once again returns to slice and dice his enemies into snack-sized bits. While some things remain the same, the second game also adds randomized levels and plenty of loot to collect. It is a mash-up of styles that work surprisingly well together.

May 22, 2017If you're looking for a game like Borderlands to play with friends on a modern console, you'll find that Shadow Warrior 2 is an excellent game that is more than worthy of your time.

Jun 25, 2017Shadow Warrior 2 is bigger, funnier, deeper and nutter than the previous game, thanks to its RPG component and more open environments. It still feels rough on the edges though, due to an inconsistent frame-rate and too bullet-spongy high level enemies that make us forget any strategy in favor of overly long shooting sessions. All in all, however a definitely suggested buy for '90s style FPS lovers.
-
May 30, 2017Shadow Warrior 2 is really enjoyable if you play with four players. The loading screens are, however, annoying and the game is not completely balanced. In the end it is a nice enough game with over the top action.
-
May 23, 2017Shadow Warrior 2 again has a complex control with strange combinations of buttons in the gamepad and has no new content to justify its delay in consoles. Otherwise, this is a very fun title.
-
Official Xbox Magazine UKJul 25, 2017A competent FPS with questionable jokes, entertaining gunplay and overlong missions. [Sept 2017, p.66]

May 23, 2017If you're in the market for simple, viscera-packed thrills, then you could do a lot worse than Shadow Warrior 2. Yes, it's a bit repetitive (it's getting repetitive writing the word 'repetitive'), but it's also a lot of fun.
