If it's unadulterated, gore-soaked fun you seek, then look no further. Just be aware that once Shadow Warrior 3's campaign is done and dusted, there's no replay value to be had. If you're okay with that, then there's no reason not to chow down on some more Wang.

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't a justified reason to repackage the entire game into a Definitive Edition. Can't complain though, because it's still a fun time with Lo Wang and best of all, it's free for existing owners!

Shadow Warrior 3 takes the wrong cues from the Doom series, in this process losing much of its own identity.

Mar 6, 2022

Shadow Warrior 3 is an ok time. I don’t personally think it is worth its launch price as there is little to no replayability and the story only took me 5 hours to get through, but if what your mileage may vary. I’m sad to see co-op gone, and the lack of a loot system and randomized levels does hurt the overall value even more. That isn’t to say there is no fun to be had here though. The gunplay is solid, weapon and enemy varieties while not numerous are well balanced, and the scope can be breathtaking. It may not be the most sensitive game ever made, but it’s certainly not a bad way to spend y...

If the Shadow Warrior series has taught us anything, it's that a successful FPS doesn't need bells and whistles to be a blast. The franchise may not have

The Shadow Warrior franchise refuses to give up the fight. 3D Realms’ original 1997 Shadow Warrior is considered a minor cult classic, and Devolver Digital and Flying Wild Hog’s more recent games have apparently done well enough to merit sequels, but if we’re being real, the franchise has never been a top contender in terms of either reviews or sales. Nevertheless, Devolver and Flying Wild Hog are stepping into the ring for another bloody round with Shadow Warrior 3.

Shadow Warrior 3 delivers the bloody, fast-paced goods, with combat mirroring the well-received DOOM revival, but perhaps without the gameplay variety and depth that has made its hellish counterpart such a major success. Easy to pick up and play, Shadow Warrior 3 offers an entertaining, if a tad superficial, experience that stops short of greatness and feels like it could have used a little more polish to take the Shadow Warrior franchise to new heights.

Shadow Warrior 3 brings basic arena shooter gameplay at an annoying cost.

Mar 5, 2022

Shadow Warrior is back, baby. The game is the direct sequel to 2016’s Shadow Warrior 2 (go figure). Luckily, Shadow Warrior 3 stays true to its offbeat and over-the-top roots. This time, though, it is essentially a love letter to id Software’s DOOM. However, it is clear that there are...

Shadow Warrior 3 certainly lacks the depth of its predecessor but does in some ways make up for it with its fast-paced action and focus on delivering a gory and mobility-centric experience. With a satisfying grappling hook and the ability to wall-run and rip apart enemies for new weaponry, Lo Wang’s
