Other critics had plenty to say about the game as well :

Rock, Paper, Shotgun (Unscored)

“Shadow Warrior 3 is a tongue-in-cheek arena shooter that starts off with tons of potential – but sadly it ends up dull from repetition.”

God is a Geek (7.5/10)

“Shadow Warrior 3 takes the franchise back to basics in terms of structure while adding new mechanics and weapons to keep it fresh.”

TechRaptor (6.5/10)

“Shadow Warrior 3 is fun but forgettable, a whirlwind tour of demon slaying that latches onto FPS trends and provides little spice of its own.”

Niche Gamer (8.5/10)

“It’s just a shame that the experience is over so quickly. Perhaps a premature ending is a fitting flaw for a game crammed so full of dick jokes, but at the end of the day you are still left wanting more.”
