Shadow Warrior 2

挺爽的游戏

好玩

unhinged katana game

哦牛比还有这种游戏的

联机功能太拉了，有些地图很容易迷路

头一次玩游戏有进去就晕的 究极莫名其妙的晃动 看着特别累 还有 就是动作和你操作完全不是一致的 什么前戳就完全不像往前攻击一下 视角吧东西放的特别近

So, I recommend this game, with a major caveat: This is not a boom-shoot, even in the modern sense like 2013. It's not even an arena shooter like 3. We're in full-on shlooter. And because of that, 2's hard to compare to the rest of the Trilogy, because while they're all shooting to be different things, 2 is trying to be *really* different. This...isn't necessarily a bad thing, at least to me (somebody who's put a lot of time into Borderlands 1, 2, and Pre-Sequel), but it's WEIRD, especially within the context of trying to make a cohesive series of games. So the big positive: the movement is the best in the trilogy. A good jump doubled, a decent speed, no stamina limits (which admittedly renders the sprint pointless since you can endlessly dash), no jank-ass mid-00s fall damage, it just feels good to move around, and unlike, say, Borderlands (1, 2, and PS), the movement is great right off the bat, rather than needing to level up into it. Unlike a lot of shlooters, the weapon pool is fixed: there are a set number of weapons (three or four to a category, with categories including pistols, pump shotguns, sawed-offs, assault rifles claws, swords, heavy swords, paired short blade, railguns, grenade launchers, rockets, etc.), usually with one unique trait/stat, and the "Loot" comes into play with randomly generated gems that you can slot into these fixed weapons. If nothing else, this system lets you stick to a weapon you like, rather than it falling behind, though it's easier to get overwhelmed by obtuse choices, especially without character classes to actually synergize. Weapon feedback is, at least to me about how it was in 2013 (which is to say, not great, in my opinion). I dunno if it's because of the introduction of the shlooter elements (enemy buffs, elemental weaknesses/resistances, variable weapon stats), or if it's still just kinda janky, but at the very least, the enemies' tankiness feels explained, and in endgame you can usually subvert it by setting up something busted to make them die fast, even if the feeling between "hit" and "death" doesn't feel quite right. If the maps themselves are proc-gen (as even the advertising suggests), I haven't noticed; the only thing that feels variable is enemy spawns. Maps seem to be reused wholecloth, not just in pieces like proc-gen normally does. The missions just pick a start and endpoint somewhere on the map. On the one hand, the world does feel cohesive, like it exists outside just the bounds of a single mission, but on the other, the path doesn't always feel like there's any progression, since there aren't any real environmental setpieces. The game looks pretty. Stylized in much the same way that 2013 was (but with about 3 years extra polygons), but the environments are a lot less grounded. This could be a good thing or a bad thing. I personally don't hate it. If nothing else, the game seems to run better than its predescessor. The story is mostly fine. You've got a new voice in your head who isn't as much fun as Hoji from 2013, but they get some surprisingly funny moments. Several of the supporting cast is back from 2013 as well, and fleshed out some. The biggest lurch is going to be piecing together how the status quo shifted in between 2013 and 2, because that's only addressed in very specific ways, rather than the broad scope. Even writing this, having beaten the game 3 times (but not having read through the logs, pending getting all of them so I'm not missing pieces), I still don't know what actually *caused* "The Collision", only how certain entities/characters handled it when it did. And the ending is...abrupt. Like, really abrupt. And for whatever reason, mission progress is not saved for clients in co-op, so if you're going through with friends, one person is going to have to commit to being the host. You do keep all your loot/skills/etc., so no need to worry about that. So yeah, this is a really weird diversion for the series, that you'll either like or hate depending on how much of a genre-purist you are. It's smoothed out a lot of stuff from 2013, but the structure itself probably is less appealing. Actually having "high-mobility" and "co-op" in the same game, in a story where that doesn't undercut the tone (looking at you F.3.A.R.) is nice.
