Shadow Warrior 3 doesn’t do much unique things when it comes to actually killing hordes of demons. However, the lack of one means that if you want to completely exhaust Lo Wang’s equipment and power weapons, you’ll have to wait until the second playthrough, which is a shame. Thankfully, finding these collectibles isn’t hard, and you’ll get enough of them without exploring to easily end the campaign. Without the option to review the level, any upgrades you might have missed along the way will be lost. This also means that FPS isn’t that complicated or robust, but I’ve always known that if you want to take more action, you just have to keep moving forward.Ībsolutely unfortunately, Shadow Warrior 3 is looking forward to so much time and has no chance to return. It reached the point and, as a result, felt more respectful of the approximately four and a half hours it took to reach credits than any other game I recently played. Outside the instance of, you are fighting or just heading towards it another fight.ĭeveloper Flying Wild Hog’s approach to Shadow Warrior 3’s linear campaign is simple but effective. Occasionally you can find upgrades that lightly improve Rowan’s weapons and abilities off the beaten path (effects such as increasing ammo, dropping more resources with certain attacks), but some of these. The platform section that separates each battle doesn’t last long or get too complicated, and exploration during those stretches isn’t really a problem.

It’s about running to the next arena full of demons. In the meantime, Shadow Warrior 3 usually gives you only one thing. You are generally fighting or just making your way to fight. All the arenas you fight are built around these movement mechanics, turning the fight into a wonderfully desperate flurry of gunshots and sword swipes. Lo Wang can move lightning fast, double-jump over the enemy’s head, and quickly escape from attacks. Shadow Warrior 3 takes the same exciting approach as Doom Eternal or Titanfall 2, with speed and usability above all else. Killing the devil keeps away all those nasty thoughts about meaningless stories. If you were given the opportunity to stop and think about what was happening, you might ask questions such as “How did Low One survive in a fragile hut at the top of the mountain?” Or “Why did this dragon grow so big when it was so small at the end of Shadow Warrior 2?” It generally doesn’t slow down from there either, and its breakneck pace is probably the best.

Its first battle takes place behind an Earth-threatening dragon that runs and jumps like an action movie hero. But you don’t play Shadow Warrior for the story-you play it to shoot the devil, and there’s certainly a lot to do.įrom the beginning, Shadow Warrior 3 makes it clear that you want to be more exciting than anything else. When you start playing it, you may do the same, because it’s generally a rushing load of nonsense.

For Shadow Warrior, these global bets aren’t new, but it didn’t take long to stop paying too much attention to the Shadow Warrior 3 story.


It’s up to the returning hero, Lo Wang, to destroy the lizard. It may not offer many new ideas, and its protagonist may be intolerable to hear, but sometimes solid movement and satisfying weapons are all you really need.Īfter Shadow Warrior 2, a big dragon is causing havoc throughout the globe. And while the focus on that fun is refreshing, Shadow Warrior 3 is almost completely unobtrusive in its practice and almost as easy as an FPS can get. Instead, it rarely puts you into action immediately and gives you a moment of peace from it. In an era when the game keeps getting bigger, I’m happy that this doesn’t bring out myself in a cutscene full of long conversations and commentary. Shadow Warrior 3 does not beat around the bushes.
