Not my type of game, but great (!) to see someone still can get it right! And setting a good example for the whole industry.

But then again, CD Projekt Red got it extremely right, and still the big publishers didn't even blink. They are above and beyond learning valuable lessons, it seems.

Shadow Warrior 2 has been received with very favorable reviews on release today.

Say what you want, but when there is a bad release on PC, it is usually associated with a bad port from games developed mainly for the consoles.

One day maybe, consoles will have the same specs as PCs....and they will be called friggin' PCs!!... and all will be well.

Don't buy it expecting a classic gangster experience like Mafia 2, reminiscent of The Godfather or Goodfellas. I think that was clear back when it was announced and the game described. Get it if you enjoy the Far Cry/GTA type game, set in New Orleans. Conduct missions to take over an area, kill the boss of that area, then on to the next. It doesn't have the Mafia atmosphere, but still a fun open world game if taken on its own merits and asked for a variety of approaches to the mission, unlike the previous game. Just keep in mind it isn't so much Mafia focused, it's more of a revenge game. Also it isn't very difficult.
I'm enjoying it and don't regret paying full price, since I knew what to expect. Still, it's an opportunity missed to give us another nostalgic gangster game.
