This game is best described as a mix between Doom and Borderlands. The fusion of insanely fast, over-the-top FPS gameplay with RPG mechanics makes Shadow Warrior 2 a huge departure from previous installments in the series. While the story is pretty weak and the humor is often cringe-worthy, the game was honestly a blast to play through. It features a large array of incredibly detailed and highly destructible environments to explore—most of which are procedurally generated, with the exception of story mission levels, which are hand-crafted. There’s a decent amount of side quests and story missions to complete, along with free DLC that adds bonus challenges and even more weapon customization options. As for the enemy variety—it’s impressive. The game features a colorful and diverse cast of enemies, each with dismemberable limbs, which is a satisfying and fun touch. Unlike Borderlands, which relies on randomly generated weapons, Shadow Warrior 2 offers around 80 pre-set weapons. Each one can be customized with a seemingly infinite number of stat modifiers. Your character can also be deeply customized. There’s a wide range of stat modifiers, and you can allocate skill points to level up specific abilities found throughout the game. Honestly, I spent just as much time figuring out my build as I did playing the game—and it was genuinely enjoyable. The game is on the shorter side, even if you complete all the optional content. However, there are multiple difficulty levels to choose from, plus a New Game Plus mode that adds replay value. There’s also a co-op feature, which I played for most of my time with the game. Unfortunately, it doesn’t work very well. The multiplayer loading screens are painfully long, and completed quests only register for the host. This meant we had to replay every mission multiple times so everyone in the group could stay on the same progression path. As a result, we were often hilariously over-leveled. Other frustrating elements include the fact that only the host can trigger key events—like picking up quest items, opening doors, or spawning enemies. Despite these fairly significant flaws, I never once regretted buying Shadow Warrior 2. Its over-the-top gameplay and deceptively deep RPG systems delivered a surprisingly engaging and fun experience.

Tremendous graphics with a fantastic art style. Tons of particle effects, body dismemberment into a dozen pieces, explosive environments, explosive weaponry, elemental effects, auras, weather effects which affect the foliage as well as everything else in the environment. - No DLSS - No frame generation - No Unreal Trashgine 5 - No TAA smudgyness And yet, runs buttery smooth at 75 fps with v-sync with no drops whatsoever on Ryzen 2600x and a graphics card with 4 gigabytes. What in the fuck happened to gaming in the past 8 years? In terms of gameplay, everything just feels polished and satisfying. The problem is that these developers are kind of notoriously bad when it comes to balancing, especially when it comes to enemy sponginess. I played solely on the "hardest difficulty" and the early game was by far the toughest "challenge" because you simply lack the means to kill shit effectively. However, after leveling up a bunch of times, boosting a ton of stats and setting up all the elemental effects on a multitude of weapons, it kind of became a breeze. After beating about half of the game, I realized that there were some "insanity" levels on top of the baseline difficulty which boosts enemies even further and gives stronger rewards. You can tweak this at will. Treat this game and its difficulty philosophy as if it was an ARPG (which in essence it kind of is) and if you're not as stubborn as I was, do yourself a favor and boost your starting character on something a bit lower and then switch the difficulties upwards when you feel like it's time. All in all, this is an extremely satisfying game with beautiful visuals which will keep you hooked for a long time. If you are looking to mindlessly slay all sorts of robotic and demonic creatures with myriad satisfying weapons, this is it. Oh, and if you don't like guns much, it is completely viable to build into a melee play style entirely. Best 3 bucks I have EVER spent by far.

well, if you want to get more positive emotions from the game, play a game from the Dark Souls series for 10 minutes before installing, a game from the Borderlands series for 15 minutes, rather yes than no, but the plot of the first part is more attractive, the game has + and -, despite the +, the game lacks something, of - most of all - it is getting stuck in textures and flying into the subtexture space during a jump ***** - poor optimization, - the craftsmen again made graphics from which the eyes get tired and watery

Game starts out decent. Nice battles. Later in the game you are stuck on the map trying to figure out on which way to go. Ya that killed it for me.

I have a some bones to pick with the reloads being too slow, strafing into annoying objects on the ground ruining the flow of battle, one crash to desktop and basically playing the same levels over and over and over again. That being said, this game is fun, funny and doesn't overstay its welcome too much but has an tons of extra missions if you *really* like it. I'd recommend buying it on sale though, normal price is probably too much for what you're getting buy sale price is just right.

Recommended for fans of graphics spectaculars and there is more than enough, without doubts it deserves the Steam remark of being beautiful, so as still it is heating-up nowadays hardware to the limits. Never I have seen such density of spladder and hack & slash animation like in here, Often you loose sight of such vast effects at the time when being in action. The name Shadow Warrior has not much to do with the original release from 1997 anymore, this is something individual like a simulator, the story is secondary, just equip yourself as best as possible, perk up your character and go killing foes with all refines as possible. The levels are well designed, you are deployed by teleporter means. There is the main story, side missions and bounties to be completed, make sure you do side and bounty tasks prior advancing in the main story. After some time the levels are becoming bored, there is not much of variety despite of meeting different times of day and weather animation but for sure, well made and with great effects. Weapons and upgrades are exceeding the common limits, too many of everything what yet becomes confusing, especially with additional options of forging your own stuff and refining your gear to the utmost. Just get a good mixed set from every type along as boosted with all available max elemental designations. Secrets are hard to find and for competing all achievements, more than once you need to hop in there, if desired at all. Anyway, forget about the story, just arm yourself and jump in there, the visual effects is the pro, the excess inventory and confusing upgrading system the contra.

I had a great deal of fun with this game. Game play and humor were terrific. Not generally my style of game because I am older, but this played very well. I saw the statement somewhere that it was like the bastard child of Borderlands and Doom. Very accurate. The gun play was reminiscent of Borderlands, which I have always loved, and Doom with all of the demons to be slayed. Very good game that doesn't seem to get as much recognition as it deserves.

I really wanted to enjoy Shadow Warrior 2, but unfortunately, the constant FPS drops completely ruined the experience for me. From the very beginning, the performance was unstable. Even on a mid-to-high-end system, the game suffers from frequent stuttering and inconsistent frame rates, especially during combat or in open areas. It’s extremely frustrating when the action slows down right in the middle of an intense fight. What’s more disappointing is that no matter how much I tweak the settings—whether lowering the resolution, turning off effects, or adjusting shadows—the FPS issues still persist. It feels like the game is poorly optimized, which is surprising considering it’s not a new release. Performance issues like this really break immersion, and in a fast-paced game like this, smooth gameplay is essential. Until the developers address these optimization problems, I cannot recommend Shadow Warrior 2, especially to players who care about stable performance.
