Lo Wang is DOOMed
Shadow Warrior 3's primary strength is probably in its combat, which feels the most 'consequential' of the series. It's the most challenging game of the series from what I can tell, a big plus from SW2 which I enjoyed but felt was too easy. Guns have a level of oomph to them that the series previously struggled with and enemies in this game are probably the most distinct they've been for the series, contrary to SW2 where all enemies felt like the same kind of cannon fodder, requiring no change of strategy on the part of the player. The game clearly borrows from DOOM Eternal's gameplay, which may delight some players and annoy others. Like Eternal, the combat relies on the management of resources, tasking the player with keeping their limited ammo pool stocked and frequently replenishing their health, both of which have to be regained through different means, health via gun kills and ammo via sword kills. The level designs are lovely to look at but suffer from a strictly linear design, a disappointment for fans like myself who like to explore the environment. There are some hidden little nooks off to the side which hide upgrade points for your weapons or character, but aside from that, the game is practically on rails, ferrying you from one arena to the next, again, similar to DOOM. Much has been said about the game's length which is indeed on the shorter side, though didn't bother me as much as others, given my recent preference for shorter experiences. Still, it IS a pretty short campaign for a game with near-AAA pricing. Every game in the series is different. In alI, I enjoyed my time with SW3 and its increased stakes in the combat, even if I yearned for greater exploration. It's probably my pick for weakest entry of the series but I still enjoyed them all. It's not everyone's cup of tea but if you're in the market for a sillier DOOM Eternal, Shadow Warrior 3 just might scratch that itch in a way that, let's face it, few other games other than DOOM itself can.
