The soundtrack was nothing to write home about, but was serviceable enough to not be a burden on the game.
#SHADOW WARRIOR REVIEW PS4#
While I played on a PS4 edition, the framerates and rendering were crisp and clean for me. It’s a good game, a fun game, with lots going for it, but it’s by no means a classic. The backdrop to every fight scene is also something you won’t want to gloss over while getting sucked into the chaos. It’s destined to be labelled a ‘hidden gem’ or ‘underappreciated classic’. Bullets fly with real meaning, ripping enemies apart one appendage at a time. The game clearly takes pride in its dismemberment system, and it looks fantastic. When I talk about this game being gruesome, I mean no joke. This really left you in control of your own destiny. And Epic stopped development of Unreal Tournament in favour of Fortnite (even though early versions were promising). Quake Champions fell short of the franchise’s glory days.

When you slash someone with your katana, they drop ammo. Shadow Warrior 3 review It’s been a bit of a mixed bag when it comes to classic shooter series being revitalised for the modern gaming era. When you shoot someone, you get a few points of health. While the game has these pickups laying on the ground, it also has a unique system. One other thing I thought was briefly worth mentioning was the health and ammo pickup system of Shadow Warrior 3. Alongside the series signature katana, the gameplay overall was fantastic. The gunplay felt solid and never got old. With these, your play style will constantly be evolving. On top of this, the normal weapons in the game come with multiple different unique upgrades. It is a fantastically executed system and adds a whole layer of fun to the game. Basically, when you kill an enemy with a finisher, you will pull a weapon off their body and will be able to use it. One of the unique aspects of Shadow W arrior is the finisher system and the “gore weapons” system that goes along with it. I wouldn’t call that a bad thing in the context of this game, but if you are looking for an earth shattering narrative experience, you won’t find it here. Lo Wang’s quips might not land with everyone, and fans of the previous game’s RPG mechanics might resent the stripping down to basics with the gameplay, but Shadow Warrior 3’s efficiency is its greatest strength. It is present, it does make sense, but it feels almost tertiary to the rest of the experience. Shadow Warrior 3 is an excellent FPS that fans of retro-style arena shooters are sure to have a blast with.

Furthermore, the pacing of the game feels quite good, introducing some light free running segments into the game to change up the pace.Īs a result of this chaos, the story at moments almost feels like an optional tack on to the overall experience of Shadow Warrior 3. The hoards of enemies feel endless, but Shadow Warrior never puts you in a bad enough spot that you can’t dig out of it. That being said, this is one of the most well-balanced games I have played in a while, making you feel panicked a lot, but never to the point that you want to quit.
Around every corner might be waiting a pile of enemies that want to rip your eyes out. Shadow Warrior 3 seeks to do one thing: keep you in a murderous onslaught at all times.
