Good things first: - Immerse, creative and nicely handcrafted portrayal of a hellish dimension - on par with Doom Eternal - Nice ideas with the player hub (who ever thought a Succubus woulf have need of her own bathroom) - Title song has something; can't put my finger on it - the singer maybe Bad things and the realm between: - Dialogues that let you wonder if they were ment in any way serious because they are so bad you can't decide to laugh or roll your eyes back and hit the off button - Model quality varies a lot from fairly decent to amateurish - Absolut disconnect with the protagonist - it's not even in a tongue-in-the-cheek way possible to relate to this stupid thing - Boy! For a succubus, she is ugly as f*ck; regardless of character costomization - Duke Nukem rotates in his grave over her bad one liners of pointless slurs - Combat is... just no - Brainless waves of meat run into a woodchipper - She can't even parry and most of combat is strictly melee as you are swarmed with melee types - It's better than Agony - that's like being shot is more merciful than slowly suffocated with a wet sock Bought both games - don't regret it - as I like collecting failures in my life. Compared to Agony, this is endurable. Allthough stepping on a landmine is an alluring alternative. Maybe there is a masochistic streak hidden somewhere inside me - It surely helps enjoying this.
All the good things about Shadow Warrior are said. What I personally dislike around Shadow Warrior is NOT the game but how some people try to impose their political correctness nonsense on this game. No, it is not rascist just because it redicules stereotypes, oddities and sexism. If you can't understand irony, sarcasm or generally humour - please kindly fuck off. Politcal correctness in all its varieties is practized fascism - twisting words like in the George Orwell's novel 1984.
