Shadow Warrior franchise suffers from having an identity crisis since every single installment is different than the previous one, and Shadow Warrior 3 decides to carry on the tradition by simplifying the gameplay and heavily copying DOOM Eternal by adding grappling hook, glory kills that replenish HP and provide new temporary weapons and mixing it with heavy platforming elements. The gameplay is actually enjoyable; I had a lot of fun while playing it. Therefore, it’s not necessarily a bad thing to be inspired by something successful and implement certain mechanics into your own work with a twist. I could even say that this was the most fun Shadow Warrior game I’ve ever played. Yeah, it’s short, but it doesn’t overstay its welcome, which is a good thing. I just wish it had more than 2 boss fights, though. The previous entries were longer, and they offered a lot more content compared to this one, but I didn’t really like the second one since it was more of a looter-shooter with heavy ARPG mechanics, and there were barely any unique missions in it. I’m glad they went back and implemented new stuff while they’re at it. However, the first Shadow Warrior will always have a special place in my heart. Unlike its predecessors, the achievements are very easy to get, and I’m surprised they didn’t add any when they updated it to the Definitive Edition. The Hero Mode returns, a game mode that grants you one life only, but this time, you can earn up to 3 by performing glory kills. Since the game is about 5 hours long, the mode itself doesn’t offer any challenge at all, especially considering that you can play it on any difficulty you want. Your reward for beating it is a weapon skin, which is kind of disappointing. There is also New Game Plus, and it gives you a chance to replay any chapter you want to complete the remaining challenges and collect the rest of the upgrades. The Arena Mode offers a bit of replay value, too, but playing each of them up to wave 10 is enough to earn yourself their dedicated weapon skins. The new challenges they add after beating the game only advance your rank, which rewards you with 2 more weapon skins. The humor is still there, and it’s better than ever, but the guy who delivers killer one-liners isn’t. They recast Jason Liebrecht because he is white, and it’s apparently offensive to some white folks for a white person to represent an Asian guy. Out of all the games out there, I never thought Shadow Warrior to devalue itself by falling into such a trap. The tragicomedic part of it is the fact that the new voice actor Mike Moh is Korean and Lo Wang is Chinese. You fired the original guy almost a month before the release and recorded new lines with a guy who isn’t even Chinese!? Flying Wild Hog and Devolver Digital, I thought you were better than this. I’m deeply disappointed because those guys aren’t even a part of your audience. [h1]TL;DR[/h1] A very fun entry to the Shadow Warrior franchise that is heavily inspired by DOOM Eternal, but a bit short and offers only 2 boss fights. Performing executions, swinging around with the grappling hook, and platforming are very fun, though. The sad part is that the original voice actor of Lo Wang has been fired to be replaced with a Korean guy to fix the inconsistency with Lo Wang’s cultural background. The only problem here is Lo Wang is Chinese, not Korean. Maybe that was a joke, too, huh?

I went into this game expecting a similar expirience as with Shadow Warrior 2, but everyithimg good about the previous game has been removed for some reason. If you expect a simmilar game as Shadow Warrior 2 do not buy it.

Another mediocre offering in the shadow warrior reboot trilogy. A pretty shallow but not entirely mindless doom eternal clone with a janky platforming, spread through 11 crash badicoot-esque levels. Has only two (pretty decently designed) boss fights and a catchy OST. On the gameplay and audio-visual merits alone I would recommend this game, provided you'll be able to buy it with a satisfying discount. So, why the negative review then? The characters. Enjoyable buddy comedy dynamics with a little bit of drama at the end is what elevates the first game in the trilogy above mediocrity for me. In SW 3, however, Lo Wang and Hoji are entirely different people (or, you know, demons) devoid of any chemistry they've had prior, with the game trying to convince you that this is what character growth is supposed to look like. And oh my god, they never shut the fuck up, constantly spouting pop culture references, you've heard one too many times already in every other media in existence, and all in all being very annoying whiny pricks. The crass humor was neutered to the point of (and I'm not kidding) baby poo poo jokes (yes, this is in the game, I'm not making it up). In spirit this is not a Shadow warrior game, they should've named it reddit warrior instead!

To start with the summary: It's a bad Doom: Eternal copy. It tries the same formual but doesn't really get it and it feels somehow just wrong for a Shadow Warrior game, especially the "arena" style combat with enemies (since it's nearly the only fights you get, there is hardly any encountering enemies while traversing through the world). The biggest flaw that: The fight areas are way too small! The feel tiny compared to the remake Doom games. Not even Wang's trademark talking can save it. To me the first game of the remake trilogy was a masterpiece compared to this one and a real Shadow Warrior game. Which is my advice: If you want the feeling of playing a Shadow Warrior game, replay either that one or even Redux of '97 one. First and foremost I'm disappointed, I was really looking forward to this one.

Asian Deadpool. Dragons, Raccoons, and a few good song references. Sadly, it's quite short (10 hours with just 3 achievements left) unlike 18h on Shadow Warrior 1, and 36h on Shadow Warrior 2 (you may guess which one is my favourite). It has no coop but it's still enjoyable. 7/10

A lot like doom eternal which is funny coz the OG game was a doom clone. There are fodder enemies that infinitely re-spawn until all the big enemies are dead and then they all have hart attacks and die. You can to a fatality on enemies, at the same time getting a hectic power weapon from them. Also guns reload on switching. Great enemy variety, goes from big ogre to jack-in-the-box. Great gun variety. Only 2 bosses, one is really cool and creative, the other sucks. Writing is very silly, like falling off a dragon Lo Wang goes "I should have brought a parachuuuuuuuuute!!1" Fun game.

It's a good game with a mediocre story. It's not as bad as other people say but it's not good by any means. Shadow Warrior 2 is still my favorite and i beat the entire game on hard in one sitting. Very short, 3/5
