Shadow Warrior 3: Definitive Edition (PC) Score: 6/10 The frustrating combat scenes, simple environments and plain environments make it hard for even Lo Wang to quip into greatness. But it most definitely is a game worth playing on sale or if you have it already and want to check out the PS5 or Xbox Series X upgrades. While a really fun experience, its lacking environments and incredibly short playtime make this a hard game to recommend at full price. The enemies are also almost all bullet sponges, so you’ll find yourself out of ammo in your favorite guns most of the time. Shadow Warrior lacks the power fantasy of a game like Doom and it becomes a shortcoming with the size of mobs and the amount of damage each enemy can do. A lot of the mob-type battles become increasingly frustrating if you don’t find the upgrade orbs or complete the challenges to gain upgrades. Maybe you’ll stumble onto the occasional puzzle however, these are incredibly rare. ![]() It’s a cutscene, a fight, parkour, rinse and repeat. And from the finishers, most enemies will surrender a powerful weapon to help simplify the slaughter of the mob. Until next time, Lo Wang Shadow Warrior 3: Definitive Edition OUT NOW Watch on 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. You collect power-ups to gain finishers, reminding me of the newer Doom games. Cutting through and shooting enemies is a ton of fun, reminding me of Doom Eternal or Serious Sam. The lines were performed well every quip with a perfect deadpan or sarcastic tone to match the joke left me with at least a good chuckle. Every character sounds exactly how I would think they would. The one thing I will give this game without a second thought is the sound of finishers being particularly squishy. The explosions were a typical cartoon boom, and so on. Shadow Warrior 3 launches the offbeat first-person shooter series to the next level with a seamless blend of fast-paced gunplay, razor-sharp melee combat. Every gun sounded with the exact bang you would expect. The Japanese instrumentals with the guitar provided perfect harmony while keeping pass with the gameplay. I did find the environments pretty lacking as most were just arenas and pahs that are sometimes too clearly defined. But when transitioning from gameplay to cutscene there was a massive lag spike which is hopefully fixed with a quick patch in the near future. The facial models look good, the blood and gore look goopy and gross, and all the slashing, shooting and parkour animations are fluid - all while moving really fast and being ferocious. I haven’t played the original Shadow Warrior 3 so this is going to be my fresh thoughts on the game as someone who did have a pretty good time with Shadow Warrior and Shadow Warrior 2. So if you enjoyed Shadow Warrior 3, you’ll like Definitive Edition. Shadow Warrior 3: Definitive Edition is an upgrade to last year’s game for next-gen consoles.
