The combat, and the RPG-lite system built around it, are pretty pointless when you’re given a weapon near the start the completely blows through everything you encounter. Aside from the main character, everyone you encounter is mostly forgettable when some of them really shouldn’t be, and the obscene gore present in the game is only fun for so long. I felt like I was mostly enjoying it while playing, but looking back it’s impossible to overlook some glaring faults. Basically, your enjoyment of Shadow Warrior 2 depends entirely on whether your sense of humour matured past primary school levels. Mine did not."

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.
Popularized by Doom in 1993 and still making video game haters gnash their teeth today, first-person shooter games are the best thing to happen to gamers since pizza rolls. So here are 15 underrated first-person shooter games you may have missed.
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.
Lol
All of these games are pretty much universally praised. Outside of Timeshift I literally own all of these.
XIII, The Darkness 2, Far Cry: Blood Dragon, Timesplitters: future perfect, Bulletstorm are awesome games
I played them all, they are all good in their own way
I used to be obsessed with FPS games
