![]() ![]() The types of environments you encounter range from a neon-style metropolis to jungles, and they offer unique challenges and design choices, not to mention enemy types. The various environments are incredibly impressive and arguably the standout feature, offering multiple avenues not only for exploration but for combat as well. All missions can be replayed as well, meaning that there's no limit to how much you can upgrade Wang's skills. Secrets can be found, chests looted and enemies are dotted around these levels, and to make matters even more interesting, each mission has randomly generated level design and content, including enemy spawning. These are far less linear than the 2013 game and mechanics like climbing and double jumping have also been added in order to encourage exploration of these open levels. The biggest change in this instalment, however, is the level design. Here you can claim rewards for missions, look at what's next and decide whether you're strong enough to face it, as some will recommend you be a certain level before attempting them. Hub worlds also allow you to upgrade, customise and purchase things in between each mission, giving you a breather and a structure to separate missions, especially since there can be a lot of them at any one time. These make for interesting gameplay options which can also be adapted to each situation. Skills can be used alongside weaponry, too, like Grip of Darkness, which impales your opponents on spikes and immobilises them, or Vanish, which makes you invisible and able to sneak up on enemies. ![]() This is a welcome return and the addition of more weapons and firepower to the mix only helps the game achieve this ridiculous level of violence and destruction, not to mention the procedural damage generation which allows players to blow off enemy body parts, hugely helping the game's combat to feel more visceral. The action itself is just as high-octane as it has always been, and you will more often than not find yourself surrounded by enemies, bullets flying everywhere while blood sprays all around. Upgrades can be bought, sold and found in the hub worlds, and there is no shortage of upgrades that you can come across and utilise, so you can be sure to find something to suit you. Effects can be applied to different weapons, such as restoring Chi, fire damage or accuracy, although there are only a certain number of slots available for each one, so the choice needs to be made wisely. The shotguns feel weighty and destructive whereas the submachine guns feel lighter but more accurate, for example.Įach can also be upgraded and modified as you see fit. All of them feel satisfying to use as well - the sword slashes really hit home as do the bullets, with obvious differences in between them. Each has their own benefits and some are better used in certain situations than others. For example, we found ourselves switching between four weapons although players could easily switch between more or just stick to one. Understandably this means that gameplay can be as varied or as limited as you see fit. Within the first hour we found enough weapons to fill up our eight weapon slots, and the game includes 70 different weapons overall. Shadow Warrior 2 has a whole host of weapons to choose from. As with the first game the Zilla are causing chaos and releasing monsters into the world, and part of your job is also to combat them and their demonic allies, meeting some familiar faces along the way. It is set five years after the 2013 game and Wang is tasked with rescuing Kamiko, however, her soul has been placed in danger and she needs to be stored inside Wang's head until her body is saved, leading to some funny exchanges between the two as they argue inside Wang's mind. As you play through the first half an hour of the game the narrative starts to unfold. ![]()
