    Great Game Play and Humor

    Shadow Warrior strikes me as how to reimagine a game properly. It still retains it’s old school feel but it has a lot of new goodies as well. I have played a lot of “remastered” games and usually I am ... Read Full Review

    Old school high octane fun -- when it's not overstaying its welcome.

    Summary:Weaponry filling up my 1 through 9 keys, finite ammo, medkits and loads of switches to flip? Yep, this is bringing me back to the days when Half Life 2 was the new hotness. I suppose it makes sense that a 2013 re... Read Full Review

    Fun, hectic shooter....old school...too old school for that matter, give your fingers a workout

    A little bit of mixed feelings for this game but here goes:To give an overall feel for the game (in a nutshell) Shadow Warrior 2013 = PainKiller + Hard Reset. Very old school mob shooter. Kill the mobs, wait for the big ... Read Full Review
