[1:17] Shadow Warrior 2 The Way of the Wang DLC
Eurogamer: by Rick Lane
Shadow Warrior's surprising new direction makes the sequel a riotous blast, though it can't quite live up to its predecessor.
God is a Geek: 9 / 10 by Greg Giddens
Shadow Warrior 2's self-referential toilet humour, insanely stylistic combat, bounty of loot and jaw dropping visuals, add up to a thoroughly entertaining and silly game full of gory combat, dick jokes and impressive weaponry. It's great fun if you're not in the market from something serious.
PC Gamer: 78 / 100 by James Davenport
Shadow Warrior 2's combat is gleefully expressive and varied, but undermined by tired, dated humor.

Shadow Warrior 2 Description
Shadow Warrior 2 is a direct sequel to a 2013 game, which, in turn, was a remake of a popular FPS from the 1990. The original game was created by the legendary developer, 3D Realms studio, and run on the same game engine as the iconic Duke Nukem 3D. The aforementioned remake and its sequel, released on PC, PS4 and XONE, were created by a Polish developer, Flying Wild Hog, who previously had a pretty good debut releasing the futuristic shooter Hard Reset.
Story
Shadow Warrior 2 is set 5 years after the events of the first game. During that time the world has changed a lot, since people learned to coexist with previously hostile demons. Once again you play as Lo Wang, the protagonist of the first Shadow Warrior, who now leads the lonely life of a mercenary working for a local Yakuza. However, something goes wrong, and the hero has to face armies of evil once again.
Gameplay
When compared with the previous title, the gameplay did not change much. Wang takes on the demons using a wide arsenal of melee weapons and firearms. While wielding various types of blades he can make precise cuts to chop off parts of the enemy's body. The game also includes the progression system known from the first game, as well as weapon customization.
Game modes
What is new in Shadow Warrior 2 on PC, PS4 and XONE is a co-op mode for up to four people, in which a group of players fights off enemies while trying to complete mission objectives (including optional ones). Each hero can be customized by picking his weapons, armor, and extra items, which you gradually unlock as you progress. It is noteworthy that, in both single player campaign and the co-op mode, the locations are procedurally generated, which makes each playthrough unique.
