PJ: "The original Shadow Warriors was released in 1997, based on an improved Duke Nukem 3D engine with the much-vaunted addition of ninjas and tongue-in-cheek racism. I remember sitting in front of my computer screen and snorting out loud: "Lo Wang? What an absolutely ridiculous-sounding name"...said the kid called Mok Xiang. However, almost unsurprisingly, I found the game to be one of the most viscerally exciting and downright fun games that has ever graced my hands, giving me what you would get if you combined Quake with katanas. Now, the recent remakes of classics within the gaming industry has produced a mixed bag of results, ranging from the genuinely good, such as XCOM: Enemy Unknown, to the atrocious - Duke Nukem: Forever. Where does Shadow Warrior fall? Read on to find out."

Yeah same here. Lots of unsuported indie horror games that end up being fully playble with standard controls and no issues whatsoever.
Thus far, most unsupported games run fine on Steamdeck but I have run on some issues with some lesser known games as well (do not boot at all despite trying various proton versions) but again those were mostly indie horror games.
Playable games almost always play well and have minimal if any issues so I am not sure what Anast is trying to point out here.
I have shadow warrior 2 and am playing it on deck right now. Runs really well and looks good too.
The "playable" label can be something as simple as needing a mouse click on a menu cause controlelrs don't work lol its crazy how many automatically claim a game will run like shit just cause of that label, same with those unverified. take helldivers 2, its unverified on steam because of the mp, not because the game itself doesnt work. just something to keep in mind.
I wasn't really impressed with the second game, hopefully the third one is better.
1 st one is the best. Second one is meh. Couldn't play third one because of, it was crashing on my PC.
The Shadow Warrior reboot debuted on PC 10 years ago today. Thankfully, it's still compatible with modern PC, PlayStation and Xbox formats.
Shadow Warrior debuted in 1997, an unlikely Duke Nukem 3D follow-up that later birthed a respected modern FPS series.
