The first person shooter genre has come a long way since 1997, and despite the critical failure that was Duke Nukem Forever, there’s still an appetite for reviving some of the better games from 15+ years ago. This year has seen Wolfenstein: The New Order, a game really liked by Codec Moments, and now there’s this. It’s battled from PC to console and kept out of sight for many, but should you let Shadow Warrior creep in to your collection?
The Shadow Warrior reboot debuted on PC 10 years ago today. Thankfully, it's still compatible with modern PC, PlayStation and Xbox formats.
Shadow Warrior debuted in 1997, an unlikely Duke Nukem 3D follow-up that later birthed a respected modern FPS series.
GF365: "Sometimes a funny and less stressful game is a welcome change. Here are the best comedic video games that will surely improve your mood."
The game itself is good, not great, but good. The dialog definitely carries the game with the sarcasm and dark humor associated with early Duke Nukem games. It's not a spectacular game, but it's good enough to add to your library of games.
