Shadow Warrior 2

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. The enhanced movement options and visceral action means it’s a joy to play, and the loot system just sucks you in as you seek out the best weapons and customisation items to make your Wang the best there is. Shadow Warrior 2 is more than I expected in a sequel, and you can’t get better than that.

If 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.

It’s the case of a small issue that turned rampant and hindered my play experience, but Shadow Warrior 2 is such a fast-paced, irresponsible, chaotic joy ride, that the mental pain I had to deal with from this annoying decision was well worth it in the end.

The reboot, in spite of its dumb writing, felt fresh and was consistently entertaining throughout its campaign thanks to its focus. The sequel, however, feels stretched out, like it’s trying to be an RPG, an open-world game, and a shooter all at once with little success. In the end, there’s precious little of Shadow Warrior 2 that makes for a compelling experience.

FPS fans, Shadow Warrior 2 is just brilliant, dumb, fun. You won’t regret investing your time and money in this raunchy and a bit outrageous shooter, believe me.

Overall I enjoyed my time with Shadow Warrior 2. Even though I found the story and tone of the game to be fairly abrasive at times, and the level generation system has a few minor issues, the combat does more than enough to keep me coming back to the game. The loot system feels like it’s been done before, but it serves its purpose well and is compelling enough to make me excited to find that next weapon and test it out.
