fun, and the procgen maps are good
Not as intensely gratifying as Shadow Warrior 1, but still pretty good. Much more of a looter shooter smorgasborg of weapons and weapon buffs. The one big change is that elemental weaknesses and resistances play a siginificant role in combat, so there's some fiddly weapon switching involved in the middle of fights. The fights themselves are more prolonged, but with the same swift movement mechanics as the first game. The net effect is that fights feel more like pitched battles, which is pretty fun. The one knock on the game is the same issue that all looter shooters have: there is so much damn loot to sift through. You can ignore it for the most part, letting it stockpile until you want to change a weapon's build. Weapon builds are interesting, although I haven't had to put too much thought into them so far (and I'm playing on hard.) Maybe they matter more in the Super Hard difficulty. idk. There's also just a ton of stuff to do, with a mountain of side quests, each with their own bespoke map. well, quasi-bespoke. I dunno exactly how the procgen works with the maps, but they all feel cohesive enough. One thing that I really like about it is that it uses medium-size chunks to build the maps, so there's this odd sense of deja vu where you'll be in a place that is familiar (because you saw it in some prior level), but the stuff around it is completely different. I do wish that the elemental system mattered more, but as it is the game is a shedload of fun. Kind of dumb fun, but fun.

Shadow Warrior
Another good sequel. It is fun to play and the humour is just right for the genre.

I liked it.
A lot of people know the first one feels perfect in every way. This is the second one and it's amazing as long as you're looking at it from a game play perspective. Not to say the story isn't good. It's just lacking. I love the callbacks to the first one time to time, but along the lines of the story it just feels less grand. Less like an adventure with a story and more like a go get the stuff and kill things type of game. I personally love it this way as a stand alone title. Maybe not calling it 2, but something with a :EXTRA TITLE type thing. Like "Shadow Warrior:This girl got darkness inside her!" Shadow Warrior 2 could have focused on someone Wang knew from the old days who wants to ruin the world further and tries breaking open a portal to some candy land looking place. I think a second game should be about furthering the world. This one feels like exploring the same thing.
