Shadow Warrior 2

Shadow Warrior 2

After 3 years since the remake of Shadow Warrior the developers released a second title that continues the story. Though it is not a large span of time, it is big enough to fix the problems of the original and improve its weak points to create a true full-fledged sequel. However, instead of this obvious option, the developers decided to totally change the games mechanics and gameplay, going away from classical single player shooter to some multiplayer-ish looter shooter aka progression for the sake of progression. Did they succeed? Well, sort of.

By looking how much time i have spent in this game, you can realise - this game, if it manages to hook you, will keep you for years.

Instead of bunch of words, i will just go straight to pros and cons.

Pros:

  1. Weaponry. Basically, you can find lots of guns of your liking by just trying them or asking people of how they work and get an idea of how they act and how good\bad they are. Well, since there are around 350 weapons available for you to pick from, you will surely find a tool of death and destruction of your own playstyle: bows and crossbows, rocket\grenade launchers, flamethrowers, machineguns, shotguns, sniper rifles and even futuristic LAZ0R guns. Basically - primary weaponry includes two-handed guns of pure murder, secondary can be either Magnum spewing thingie or just a bullet wind of two machinegun pistols, and melee… From swords, katanas and throwble disks to spears, staffs and two handed maces\axes\swords (LOTS more melee types not mentioned but existent in the game).

Not pay to win

Before I start my review, I want to dispell this notion. Anyone who tells you this game is pay to win is wrong, or lying to you. Most of the good weapons are mastery rank locked and even if you buy things to bypass the grind, you still have to level those Warframes and weapons, you still have to play the game to grind and get mods for your weapons and Warframes to make them actually perform well in end-game content. You’re blindsiding yourself if you’re going to make the argument that this game is pay to win. Now that I’ve gotten that out of the way, let’s get to the actual review.
