Opinions on Shadow Warrior? (lemmy.world)

So I just finished Shadow Warrior (2013) and I wasn’t blown away by it but I had a decent time. I always like hearing about experiences that people had with the game when it first came out and whether or not a modern perspective paints it differently.

To summarize what I thought: The writing is humorous, but not outright funny to me. The graphics hold up very well and the gore is great. Combat is mostly pretty good. Some enemies are annoying or overly difficult on the hard difficulty but overall it’s pretty good.

I did think it was modeled to be kind of akin to a Serious Sam type game and it lives up to that but similar to that game, many of the weapons/enemies/levels overstay their welcome a bit. Other than that I had a pretty good time with it, thought it was an 8/10 fun time.

What’s everyone’s story with this game series? When did you first play it and what did you think about it?

I played it very recently, without any history with the IP. Probably got it in some Humble Bundle or something, cause I don't actually remember buying it.

Overall I enjoyed the game, agree with your summary about writing, graphics and combat, but it didn't feel anything great. Good, but not great is my opinion. Personally, felt more like 7 or 7.5/10.
