Shadow Warrior 2 review - Polygon

Shadow Warrior 2 is a relic from another time. It harkens back to the days when games were ultraviolent and the protagonists were quippy and quick with the poop gags.

Dixiedevil3491d ago

Polygon doesn't like it? With that knowledge, I'll have to pick it up.

superchiller3491d ago

Agreed 100%. Looking forward to playing SW2 on the PS4 when it comes out, absolutely loved the PS4 reboot.

ReesesPuffs3491d ago

If you played the first one and liked it you'll love this one. Absolutely incredible game especially for the price.

Dixiedevil3491d ago

Yeah.I loved the first. Was planning on picking it up but now it's a must buy.

Bought it just now because of this review... thank you, Polygon.

"Shadow Warrior 2 is a relic from another time" "ultraviolent" I guess they didn't like the new DOOM either then. Oh wait, they gave that an 8.5.

This Steam Deck-compatible trilogy is now more than $100 off, perfect for fans of action-packed FPS

The Shadow Warrior trilogy is currently listed with a 93% discount on Steam, and you can save more than $100 - ideal for your Steam Deck?

It's rated as "playable"...it will look jank and probably run like it too.

ZycoFox686d ago

Well if it's not good enough for you then just play it on a decent PC.

@GhostMirror

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.

DaMist685d ago

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.

MehmetAlperTR686d ago (Edited 686d ago )

1 st one is the best. Second one is meh. Couldn't play third one because of, it was crashing on my PC.

Although the late 2000s Turok wasn't my favorite, I would love a new entry. Open world survival with shotguns and dinosaurs. Not sure how we'd get the fusion cannon, but that would be pretty sweet too.

MadLad1341d ago

Lol

All of these games are pretty much universally praised. Outside of Timeshift I literally own all of these.

Venoxn4g1340d ago (Edited 1340d ago )

XIII, The Darkness 2, Far Cry: Blood Dragon, Timesplitters: future perfect, Bulletstorm are awesome games

gurp740d ago

I played them all, they are all good in their own way
I used to be obsessed with FPS games
