Serious sam 2 reboot series#

I also think it's a better Serious Sam game than Serious Sam 3, despite never reaching the scale of the series and despite the fact that I liked Serious Sam 3. ThatвЂ™s a mark that many modern games miss, or refuse to aim at, and itвЂ™s the first reassurance that this is a reboot that understands the appeal of its predecessor. ItвЂ™s a claret-covered Looney Tunes cartoon, in the style of Evil Dead 2 or JacksonвЂ™s Braindead.

ItвЂ™s the bloodiest game IвЂ™ve played for a good while, but even on the rare occasions that enemies are human rather than demonic, the dismemberment has a slapstick quality. Shadow Warrior is excessively gory and I find its brand of ultraviolence fantastically entertaining. Heads topple from shoulders and the last demon, its remaining hand held up in surrender, limps and cringes, surrounded by the remnants of its allies. Limbs pirouette through the air like distressed ballerinas, Black SwanвЂ™s painting oozing red slugs of viscera in the air. HereвЂ™s wot I think.ДЇlesh slides apart, splitting at the lines traced by Lo WangвЂ™s katana. The biggest problem with the Shadow Warrior reboot is that it isnвЂ™t a Blood reboot because if Caleb ever does return to our screens, heвЂ™s probably not going to do it in this much style. Two days of carnage later, IвЂ™m convinced. I was willing to believe that bringing Lo Wang back was a good idea but far from sure of it.
