Shadow Warrior 2 Review | Rely on Horror

Rely on Horror, CJ Melendez writes: "It’s been three years since Flying Wild Hog’s Shadow Warrior reboot released, and a lot has changed since then. I’ve moved out of my mom’s house for starters, and retro shooters inspired by the 90’s are gaining prominence. Shooter IPs old and new are following in the footsteps of their denim-jacket-wearing ancestors. DOOM, for example, surprised many when it released earlier this year, and indies like Dusk and STRAFE are on the horizon hoping to re-introduce the twitchy gameplay and overindulgence of classic shooters to today’s gamers. Shadow Warrior 2 releases to a slightly different landscape than the first game, which helped it stand out so well, but it’s brought enough new toys to the party to be one of the year’s best (and silliest) shooters."
