FPS fans, Shadow Warrior 2 is just brilliant, dumb, fun. You won't regret investing your time and money in o this raunchy and a bit outrageous shooter, believe me.
The ability to dash around each enemy individually and slice them to pieces using the wonderfully hilarious procedural gore system is endlessly satisfying.
Shadow Warrior 2 feels hollow
Shadow Warrior 2's excellent combat mechanics cleave through its weak story and over-abundance of iffy loot. The result is a title that's incredibly satisfying to play, almost in spite of the surrounding flaws.
Solid gunplay, great weapon variety and completely over the top story puts Shadow Warrior 2 as one of 2016 best shooters.

Shadow Warrior 2 is much like its predecessor: a gore-spattered first person kill-fest interspersed with lowest-rung lowest brow humour. Both of these elements are executed to excess, giving us a game that is equal parts head and eye-rolling. Still, it never stops entertaining if you have a taste for it!
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.
Whenever I wasn't killing things I was bored out of my mind, as Shadow Warrior 2 offers no reason to explore or do anything but follow the objective marker through all-over-the-place levels. It's just fun enough to hit a 7, but could and should've been so much more and any fans of the first game planning on playing it single player will be hugely disappointed.
I give it four thumbs up.
Shadow Warrior 2 is in no way a bad game, and I found myself grinning through a lot of it. I'd groan at Wang begging to cut off a penis immediately afterwards, but some people will probably get a laugh out of that. Definite flaws and a laser focus on making the game a more universally sellable experience hurt it, but if you want to shoot shit while shooting the shit with some buddies, you could do a lot worse.
An overall solid sequel and a great game, with some evolutionary game design from previous titles in the series that may or may not appeal to you.
The best way to play Shadow Warrior 2 is also the most exciting and rewarding, as hanging back and shooting from afar is not nearly as effective combing your firepower with blades, and magic.
Shadow Warrior 2's combat is gleefully expressive and varied, but undermined by tired, dated humor.
A bold evolution of a tested formula. Shadow Warrior 2 is fun when played with friends but somewhat chaotic and disappointing when tangled with alone.

Shadow Warrior 2 arrives with a very powerful gameplay, more explict violence and a story that is longer than the player would expect coming from a kind of game like this.

Shadow Warrior 2 is anarchic, excessive, ridiculous, occasionally spectacular and almost entirely wonderful.
