Shadow Warrior 2 Reviews
Shadow Warrior 2 is an entertaining, mechanically solid, and gorgeous looking skirmish for PC owners
Shadow Warrior 2 is an excellent follow up to Flying Wild Hog's 2013 reboot. Lo Wang's latest adventure is bigger, meaner and bolder, letting players embark on the ultimate power trip as they shoot, loot and slice their way through demonic armies.
Wang is back and he is so hard! Shadow Warrior 2 is all about fun and if you think of a game that blends the newest incarnation of Doom with Postal 2 then you'll be in the ball-park of what this game is about.
Shadow Warrior 2 doesn't usually take itself too seriously with its dick jokes and outrageous story, which is the way this game should be. Don't take this game seriously and you will have a wonderful time even if the dick jokes might get a little boring from time to time. With tons of replayability and multiplayer goodness for only $39.99, Shadow Warrior 2 is a great game to add to your collection this year.
Shadow Warrior 2 is a great game, one that does its predecessor justice and remains true to what made its franchise, and the shooter genre of the 90's, great.
Shadow Warrior 2 is a sequel in the most truest of senses, offering something that feels fresh and new whilst still offering the same top notch action that returning gamers would have been used to. Some might not necessarily like the game’s new direction, but I loved it and would thoroughly recommend Shadow Warrior 2 to both FPS and dungeon crawling fans – you certainly won’t feel shafted by Wang’s latest outing.
For all my complaints about the mission structure and repetitive semi-randomised maps, I never once stopped playing thanks to excellent gunplay, and fun upgrade system, and just enough narrative to keep me interested. It is always difficult for developers to create decent narrative in these games and the story in Shadow Warrior 2 seems more ambitious than the game can effectively convey.
Drawing on some pretty obvious inspirations, Shadow Warrior 2 doesn't have many original ideas of its own, but that doesn't stop it from being one of most purely fun FPS games on the market right now.
Shadow Warrior 2 is simply incredible, and should be experienced by everybody who just wants to have some satisfying fun, while playing games.
Shadow Warrior 2 is a great shooter offering hours of quality entertainment, many enemies for you to cut, Lo Wang with with his iconic humor, and co-operation. If you wanna go crazy and aren't looking for a deep story, you're at the right place.

Shadow Warrior 2 surpasses everything that was its predecessor's 2013 release. A larger roster of weaponry to choose from, a Diablo-esque loot system for equipment upgrades, greatly improved visuals and most importantly, a 4-player cooperative mode.
It’s throw away humour will appeal to some, but others will find it puerile.
Solid gunplay, great weapon variety and completely over the top story puts Shadow Warrior 2 as one of 2016 best shooters.

So aside from some of the loot drops not being that good until later in the game, I really enjoyed my time with Shadow Warrior 2 especially when playing it in co-op. Considering the amount of content you're getting I can safely say that this game is worth getting at $40 especially if you have friends to play the campaign with but it's not bad if you have to play alone.
While Shadow Warrior 2 doesn't feature a complex economy system and the whole world seems to rely on a single blacksmith and two tiny shops, there's somehow plenty of wares to go through.
Flying Wild Hog präsentieren mit die schnellste und spaßigste First-Person-Action dieser Generation, lassen aber inszenatorisch und erzählerisch Chancen liegen.

Shadow Warrior 2 legt genau an den richtigen Stellen nochmals einen drauf und überrascht mit neuen RPG-Elementen und einer soliden Performance am PC. Die Geschichte kommt durch die neuen Co-Op und RPG Features leider etwas kurz, dafür könnt ihr den Titel jetzt auch mit bis zu 3 Freunden genießen und mit um einiges mehr an Langzeitmotivation in ein New Game+ starten.

If you've got a PC that can handle it, Shadow Warrior 2 is a fantastic bloody game. If you love yourself a good, over-the-top action video game that brings to mind the ridiculous (but enjoyable) action flicks of the 70's and 80's, then the Shadow Warrior franchise is not to be missed.
