Shadow Warrior 3

"Shadow Warrior 3 is fun but forgettable, a whirlwind tour of demon slaying that latches onto FPS trends and provides little spice of its own."

"Pretty, action-packed, and fun while it lasts, Shadow Warrior 3 is well made as long as there isn&s;t any dialogue, but there&s;s so little content that the price tag makes it truly hard to recommend."

"Shadow Warrior 3 rushes along with zaniness and gore dispensed in loads, and that combo is oddly satisfying. It feels different, doesn’t take itself too seriously, and is wildly aggressive in how much it wants to make you laugh. I …"

"The minute-to-minute action is downright delightful, even if the boss encounters maintain the series’ streak of being underwhelming. The shooting, movement, and killing are every bit as good as recent Doom games, even if the whole thing feels derivative."

"‎Shadow Warrior 3 is a brave game that pays homage to the "shooter" of the 90s with its unbridled action, shows a sense of humor "so bad that it is good" and has made us have a blast with its …"

"Shadow Warrior 3 invokes gaming&s;s simpler past while lampshading the fact that it borrows so much from more modern games. It sits in a no-man&s;s-land of middling design decisions and absolutely terrible writing, even though its action and presentation sometimes …"

"Shadow Warrior 3 is a fast, spectacular and over-the-top arena shooter (with bland platforming sections) and, on this front, it works very well. Don&s;t ask for anything more, though."

"I’m sure I won’t be thinking about Shadow Warrior 3 in five minutes’ time, but I’m okay with that. It doesn’t do anything to reinvent the wheel or the first-person shooter, but it moves away from the co-op looter-shooter nonsense …"

"Shadow Warrior 3 isn&s;t exactly the game we&s;ve been expecting, and on balance, we think it&s;s a big step back from its two predecessors."

"While it is appreciated that Flying Wild Hog has addressed many of the concerns surrounding Shadow Warrior 3 and even added a bit more content, there isn&s;t a justified reason to repackage the entire game into a Definitive Edition. Can&s;t …"

"Shadow Warrior 3 has some genuinely great ideas, but it is hampered by a handful of pronounced technical issues and a general lack of replayability."

"Shadow Warrior 3: Definitive Edition is the new version of Lo Wang&s;s adventure, adapted and designed for the new generation of consoles that adds new game modes to make your experience even more complete and challenging."

"Shadow Warrior 3 isn&s;t lacking in bombastic, blood-splattered shooting or giddily puerile humour. It comes up a bit short in gameplay variety and its scattershot approach to jokes produces more than a few misses, but as a fairly relentless and …"

"For some, what you make of Shadow Warrior 3 may well be influenced by the comparisons one draws from the prior 2016 entrant."

"Shadow Warrior 3 is absolute fun. It&s;s easy to pick up, and something you definitely want to invest some hours into. This is the most fun I&s;ve had playing a game in a long time, and you will not be …"

"Shadow Warrior 3 buries a fun shooter so deep in muck that it&s;s not worth dirtying your hands."

"Shadow Warrior 3 is a real study in contrasts. There are times when its environments and cutscenes are triple-A game adjacent. Its combat is fast, furious, and fun. On the other hand, there’s not much story to tell, and that …"

"Overall, Shadow Warrior 3: Definitive Edition brings more Shadow Warrior 3 to its fans. You know exactly what you get with Shadow Warrior 3: fast-paced combat, wise-cracking jokes, and a pretty streamlined experience. The Definitive Edition gives players more to …"

"Shadow Warrior 3 takes the franchise back to basics in terms of structure while adding new mechanics and weapons to keep it fresh."

"Despite the limited scope of the game, Shadow Warrior 3 offers a fun and lively demonic killing journey."

"Shadow Warrior 3 offers some competent (albeit mostly borrowed) core shooting mechanics and first-person platforming, but uninspired, repetitive level design, irritating enemies, and a withering onslaught of dad humor may leave you longing for relief before the game&s;s relatively-brief campaign …"

"I love Lo Wang so much. So much! He&s;s truly the best third-grade ninja in circulation! That&s;s why it&s;s a shame that the combat arenas are effectively the same throughout the whole campaign."

"Fast-paced and gory, Shadow Warrior 3 is a fun FPS that doesn&s;t take many risks."

"It’s also not a long game — it took me just under 6 hours to finish on Medium, and I can’t imagine playing it again. I love short games but it feels like a lot was cut out — for …"

"‎Shadow Warrior 3 for my taste is definitely a step backwards for the franchise. As a title it is a remarkable game, with great graphics, very worked physics, well-designed enemies and frantic action. My problem is that the similarities to …"

"If it&s;s unadulterated, gore-soaked fun you seek, then look no further. Just be aware that once Shadow Warrior 3&s;s campaign is done and dusted, there&s;s no replay value to be had. If you&s;re okay with that, then there&s;s no reason …"

"Simple but tight, Shadow Warrior 3 is a solid shooter with some occasional flashes of excitement. It&s;s a shame the game&s;s attempts at comedy squeeze the life out of it — and £40 for an eight-hour campaign is barely good …"

"Shadow Warrior 3 is a first-person shooter that is packed with action and it will be enjoyable to those who love carving up hordes of monsters."

"Overall, Shadow Warrior 3 was fun to play through, but I’m glad it ended relatively quickly because the gameplay loop is very repetitive. Flying Wild Hog has some great ideas here, but the lazy arena battle design and some (not …"

"While this is dubbed as the Definitive Edition, I just don’t see how it can be called such when it’s still missing a lot of what made Shadow Warrior 1 and 2 so good. It being a free update for …"

"Slightly above average or simply inoffensive. Fans of the genre should enjoy them a bit, but a fair few will be left unfulfilled."
