I’m someone who’s not into FPS genre, in all honesty.
But Shadow Warrior 2013 was a pleasant surprise, this game reminded me of Star Wars Jedi Outcast series. Heck, the melee combat was very satisfying. Loved how the story didn’t took itself seriously, unlike most of shooters these days,
However the sequel made one aspect worse, which I absolutely hated in SW 2013, the pointless upgrade system. Not only that, but the level design feel very shallow, with empty spaces all over it.
This vid perfectly describes my issue with implementng RPG mechanics into action game:
Seriously, this game is the case where I love it and hate it, at the same time. IF you do like the RPG mechanics in that game, more power to you, I’m personally not into RPG games at all, and sadly I’m not enjoying SW 2 as much as I would. How unfortunate SW2 is my personal disappointment, was really looking forward to play it.
