36 of 36 · most liked firstHot take: Roguelikes are cool if the procedural generated level design fits the story or theme (Hades, Shadow Warrior 2), but games that are literally just "procedurally generated version of X genre" feel like lazy cash-grabs that makes the game "vibe code" its own level design.

In 2016, I got really into Shadow Warrior 2, a game developed by the Warsaw studio Flying Wild Hog (published by @devolverdigital.com). I made this piece, which caught the eye of @zooltar.bsky.social, who was working at FWH at the time.

Also all of the following games are better than any Uncharted game: Bayonetta Saints Row IV Horizon 2 Slay the Spire Shadow Warrior 2 Bioshock 2 Guacamelee Gotham City Imposters

unlabelledView post →13. Shadow Warrior 2! Weirdly underrated game. Imagine a DOOM (2016) style shooter mixed with something like Borderlands. Gameplay is fantastic, the weapons and abilities are cool as fuck, and just everything about this game makes me happy! I would love to co-op this game with a buddy.

unlabelledView post →He's the namesake of one of the merchants in Shadow Warrior 2. It's not even a meta joke, that's legit the reason given in the game. It's so random and unfunny I can't help but think about that sometimes.
unlabelledView post →Shadow Warrior 2 more like man I wish you were a better game why did you have to turn to to be a Borderlands rip-off why couldn't you just be like the first one but better jesus christ
unlabelledView post →Shadow Warrior 2 is still a solid game but gets a bit lootery. Can skip all the cutscenes the story doesn't really matter.
unlabelledView post →I had so much fun with Shadow Warrior 2 in co-op. Sadly, Shadow Warrior 3 is singleplayer only. Fun game though.
unlabelledView post →I suddenly feel the urge to play Shadow Warrior again. That was a good game. Not too long, not too short. Legitimately engaging melee mechanics for being a first-person game. Dumb but oddly endearing story. I wish Shadow Warrior 2 wasn't so looty-shooty--I probably would've enjoyed it more, then.
unlabelledView post →Shadow Warrior 2 with a friend. Hated it when I first bought it but they got it on sale and wanted someone to play with. It's fun but flawed and anyone into game design should play it to get an example of why too many game mechanics are a bad thing.

unlabelledView post →I started Shadow Warrior 2 yesterday and I finished it today :) This game felt like a mix between Borderlands and boomer shooters in terms of gameplay. It was often times fun, but the parts where you have a million enemies coming at you were a bit much lol.

unlabelledView post →Haven't played it, but from what little I've seen of it, it feels like it's torn between being a modern Doom game, and a Borderlands game. It feels more like Shadow Warrior 2 / 3 than painkiller.

unlabelledView post →Y'know... I've been lurking at random posts about Shadow Warrior 2. A lot of people kept saying "this game is so hard!!" Idk if it's cuz of my build or what... But It feels well balanced, ish, even at endgame of Insanity 7. Yeah sure some enemies 1 shot me cuz, f u. But, it's still fun/fair. Idk.
unlabelledView post →I may have had issues with Shadow Warrior 2 in general, but the visuals definitely weren't one of them--that game was fucking GORGEOUS. ✨
unlabelledView post →I'm 65 hours into my Shadow Warrior 2 save file ~5000/10,000 orbs 39/50 secrets And lvl 195, on Insanity 6. Trynna 100% the game. Yet I still am in for more. This game is just way too fun to play. Mobbing is done well, outside of some scenarios (cough kamikazes).
unlabelledView post →Most notably it covered its cover feature Destiny 2. It also covered reviews on Injustice 2, Shadow Warrior 2, and Prey. It also reviewed The Guardians of the Galaxy. The bad Telltale game, not the good one.
unlabelledView post →62) Shadow Warrior 2 | PS5 What started off as a decent little multiplayer game quickly became a repetitive slog that was a chore to play. The core combat itself is fine, but the uninspired loot system, barebones mission design, and often more miss than hit humour dragged this down
unlabelledView post →Shadow Warrior 2 might have the best first person melee combat out of any game I've played. Really good stuff.

unlabelledView post →My litmus test for whether a looter shooter or loot based ARPG is good or not is asking "If i took the loot drops out, would the game still be fun" And with rare exception like Diablo or Shadow Warrior 2, the answer is almost always no.
