Dec. 2025

Shadow Warrior 2: Lo Wang goes to Borderlands This isn’t a sequel, it’s an identity crisis. The first game was sharp, focused, and stylish. Even Shadow Warrior 3 at least tried to emulate that, but it got drifted into wave-shooter territory. This game saw Borderlands and chose loot over identity. I could barely remember the story, but the gameplay was a blast. Combat carries everything, with plenty of weapons to play around with. Swordplay is good, but it’s a downgrade from the first game’s katana mastery. At least Lo Wang himself is still Lo Wang , the jokes and dialogue carry more personality than the plot ever does. I finished the solo campaign and enjoyed the dumb chaos, but this is clearly built for co-op looter-shooter mayhem. 7.5/10 - Lo Wang survives, but the soul was traded for loot drops.

Words cannot describe what a WIERD trip Shadow Warrior as a franchise is: 1. The first game's a classic Build Engine shooter. 2. The reboot is a linear hack and slash/shooter hybrid that has its dull moments but can also be really bloody awesome. 2.5 I KID YOU NOT, there is an entire game's worth of story taking place between the reboot and the sequel, that barely gets a few mentions at best (and I would argue that would have been a very interesting tale at that). 3. Shadow warrior 2 is in a sense a Hack and Slash Borderlands with coop and some of THE MOST satisfying and visceral first person melee combat I have ever seen. 3.5 Bloody hell, ANOTHER game's worth of story takes place. 4. Shadow Warrior 3 is a semi-reboot, high quality movement shooter that sheds almost the entirety of its original identity, yet STILL tries to put the entire reboot franchise's plot. Gone is the incredibly visceral swordplay (though there is a sword still present here, I would say it kinda takes a more support role, than the spotlight it needs), gone is the custom visual charm of their in house engine (as the game switched to unreal). Shadow Warrior 3 is a good, no, a VERY good game, and I absolutely loved playing through it from the start to the very finish, but it's not a Shadow Warrior game. The only thing I can say is - Go play these games, they are not perfect. But fuck me, if they are not fun.

Oct. 2025

Shadow Warrior 2 stands out as one of the strongest entry in the series thanks to its ambitious blend of fast, fluid combat and RPG-style customization. The addition of 4-player co-op, randomized levels, and a huge arsenal of upgradable weapons gives it unmatched replay value. It improves on the linear formula of its predecessor and offers more freedom than Shadow Warrior 3, making it the most dynamic and engaging game in the trilogy

Sept. 2025

Just a solid ol' video game. Nice looking too. Doom x Borderlands x Killing floor

July 2025

Some games take themselves too seriously. Shadow Warrior 2 takes a katana, slices that seriousness in half, and laughs while reloading an electrified shotgun. Foul-mouthed, wisecracking, and unapologetically violent. But underneath the jokes and over-the-top gore? There’s a damn good shooter hiding here. It’s not just shoot or slash, it’s both. It’s ripping demons apart with a chainsaw katana, then double-jumping off a rooftop to snipe a robot ninja mid-air. It’s looting, crafting, modding, and then drowning the whole system in blood and explosions. Yeah, the story’s wild. Yeah, the tone’s unhinged. But that’s the point.
