After the bloated equipment arsenal and color rarity systems of Shadow Warrior 2, the third entry in this franchise comes in fast, with an incredibly short runtime, simple and speedy combat mechanics, and a somewhat self-contained narrative that make it a pretty good time (as long as you can get through the choppy humor).

Comparisons to Doom Eternal are inevitable, with the base gameplay loop requiring players to swap weapons often and use "finishers" to get resources from enemies. But where it stands out is its gore weapon system. When you execute an enemy, you get a limited-time weapon that mirrors their attack powers, allowing you to go on a rampage through the crowded arenas. Combine this feature with environmental kills, and wall-run mechanics reminiscent of Titanfall 2 with a bit more float and you have the general idea.

If you liked the series first entry (the 2013 reboot of the franchise) then you'll likely love this one. And if you enjoy movement based shooters like Doom Eternal and Titanfall 2 you'll likely have fun using this game as a diversion. Overall I can safely recommend it to most, just bring a mouth guard so you don't grit your teeth after the eightieth Wang joke...
