Generic, half-finished, forgettable.

This game is always '75% off' for a reason. I can't be entirely sure what happened. While never out-right terrible, SW2 manages to get a C- in every aspect of its design. The art, the story, the gameplay, the RPG elements, even the SHOOTING. It's all... subpar. Never worse, but never any better. In terms of story, it takes Shadow Warrior 2013's sense of parody, and turns it into an exhausting cliche. It's art is incredibly inconsistent, ranging from 'technical masterpiece' to 'why am I in GTA IV?' The loot is a DISASTER. Think: 'what if Borderlands had spreadsheets?' (with an inventory system akin to a TI-85 calculator) My best explanation? It feels like Devolver tried to break into the looter/shooter market, but didn't want to commit financially. Fortunately, this cynical and poorly envisioned entry flopped - and we haven't seen any attempts since. In my mind, a sequel should build off the achievements of its predecessor - ideally, design around critiques the first game faced. SW2 does none of that. Don't buy SW2 at full price. If you play games when you're too tired to think, and need a time-waster: get it on sale. If you're addicted to looter/shooters and DESPARATELY need something new: *maybe* get it on sale. Otherwise, go play Doom 2017 or any Borderlands game. They offer the same things, but done properly.

Pretty but terribly broken

I got this game free from GOG so I didn't lose much but please don't make the mistake of paying for this. In the 2 or 3 hours I've managed to have with Shadow Warrior 2, it's great. Graphically incredible and plays smooth as silk. The problem with the game is that it is plagued by memory leak problems that the developers still couldn't bothered to patch, almost 4 years after release. With 8GB of RAM and 6GB of VRAM, I can play for about 30-45 minutes before an out-of-memory crash. Turning the visuals down didn't help much. I suppose you may be able to play 3 hours in one sitting if you've got 32GB of RAM, but that really doesn't free the developers from their responsibilities of releasing a product that isn't broken. Your mileage on your machine may vary, but if you google the game's bugs you can see that the memory crashes really aren't unique to my experience. It's up to you if you want to take the chance on a broken product.

As a fan of the original

I really love oldschool FPS. I like the retro graghics, the witty one liners, all of it. This is a great nod to those old school FPS titles. Lo Wangs character is funny as ever. The gameplay is fast and furious but not nearly as difficult as the originals. Im only a few hours in and am really enjoying the game and think its well worth a shot. If your afraid of humor then don't play the game. These games were never politically correct and never should be.

Not a real sequel . . .

The first one (2013) is better in every way other than graphically. This one has more replay value though so take your pick ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

For SW1 fans: Think before you buy

Shadow Warrior 2 is not a complete disaster but it's NOT a sequel to Shadow Warrior (2013). Core gameplay of linear, fast-paced shooter has been gutted and replaced with a Diablo-esque FPS ARPG game, where you spend time constantly fiddling around with the metagame, raising skills and upgrading weapons with never-ending stream of uninspired, generic loot, and grinding for money and equipment. The mix is flavoured with boring side missions taking place in procedurally generated levels that are empty save for occasional group of bullet-spongy enemies with a mini-boss. Devs burned the bridge between them and the original Shadow Warrior fans. Whether it was to appeal to "broader audience" or to just create something different I don't know. Just keep in mind that this is not the Shadow Warrior you've been looking for, unless you loved Diablo and/or Borderlands, in that case this is a game for you.
