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.

Aspiring but Flawed

I want to fit a lot into a short space so I'm going to use bulletpoints: Gameplay- + Combat much improved from the original, great weapon and enemy variety, maneuverability and verticality. + Melee combat is satisfying and forces you to move around quickly to avoid death. + Upgrades and elemental effects allow for some customisation and variety. - Guns are still weak and unsatisying to use, the only exception to this rule being Gauss Cannons. - Despite the freedom one is given by the more open world you frequently bump into invisible walls or can't take a more direct route to a location. - The respawn on death system is awful, death is barely punished at all, even on higher difficulties. - Combat is generally quite easy to cheese, you can easily retreat and heal, if you min/max and buy optimal upgrade paths this becomes even more of an issue. - Fights involving large amounts of enemies quickly become tiresome, forcing you to constantly move while making small jabs at the horde of enemies on your tail. - Bugs such as large quest enemies glitching through the floor and forcing you to restart the mission, and enemies that just get confused if you leave their patrol area (both occur rarely) disrupt gameplay. Story/Characters: - Worse than the original, which had unexpectedly good writing. - Most characters aren't likeable or interesting, Kamiko is annoying and Lo Wang tries too hard to be funny, although managed to make me chuckle a few times. + You can skip dialogue and cutscenes which is great for when you just want to kill stuff. Graphics: + You can play at higher settings even on a modest rig, effects like Bloom and Chromatic Abberation can be disabled if you dislike them, visuals are colourful and not plagued by ugly filters like many other games, overall very good looking. + Combat visuals are visceral and satisfying. - Some bugs such as rain inside building, trees poking through buildings, gaping holes into the void and random freezes. Overall a solid 7/10.
