Shadow Warrior 3 presents a short and sweet campaign, an action packed spectacle when it comes to combat, and a colourful, vibrant, and inventive look and feel when it comes to the art. Plus, plenty of gore. A gem of a first-person shooter, an interactive rollercoaster, and one hell of a good time...

A snippet.

Although Flying Wild Hog and Devolver Digital first rebooted the ‘90s FPS relic Shadow Warrior in 2013, this new entry definitely feels inspired in part by the success -- and excess -- of DOOM Eternal. Which makes Shadow Warrior 3 both different and better than the first two titles in the reboot series. More focused, too.

This is said not to disparage past entries or this new game, or to chalk it up as a ‘DOOM Clone’ in the same way the original might have been back in the day. Rather it’s to let it sit alongside id Software’s efforts as an entertaining, vibrant, arcade-styled riff on one of the most explosive action games of the past decade.

The best way to describe Shadow Warrior 3, for those well-versed in the ways of the FPS, is to liken it to a loud, colourful and inviting arcade cabinet you simply cannot walk past. An arcade game that takes a beloved film or game you know from watching or playing at home and turns that into an instantly gratifying over-the-top romp that is forever entertaining and always leaves you smiling.
