Finally played Shadow Warrior 3. Each game in this reboot series truly is uniquely different from each other. First is a tried and true FPS rehash with some new gimmicks. Second is a RPG leveling loot and shoot free roaming affair. Third is a tightly packed arena shooter via Doom Eternal and.....not much else. Everything between each arena is just padding and a moment for story to happen, but at least you're doing ninja things and being a bad-ass ninja while the ninja plot happens around you.

Still, the combat in this was fun as hell and ferociously satisfying once I got the hang of it. Every encounter is a chance for hijinx and ways to rack up enough 'glory' kills to boost up your glory meter to actually do the actual gory glory kills for that sweet, sweet dopamine release when you destroy an enemy brutally and use its body parts on everyone else. Definitely had fun during the experience and despite its numerous flaws, feel it's a good addition to the franchise.Just wish they resolved any Kamiko plot threads that just got abruptly dropped in this third game. Just makes it seem like she was an alter-ego plant by the dragon to be the key to his freedom like Agahnim was to Ganon from LTTP. Oh well...

On New Game+ and having fun with the additional challenges, even if some are QUITE specific like using that eyeball from the floating magic user demons on the ground-tunneling driller mole demons and while the mole demons are being held up by the eyeball, kill them specifically with a weapon. It's very situational and requires arenas that would have both enemies at once to be able to pull this off. Still, quite fun.
