Sure, I had my small circle of friends I would hang out with, but since attendance wasn’t mandatory, their regular absences were replaced by other kids that were just…there. ![]() And it truly is a ride, not just because it’s more linear than even the original Shadow Warrior reboot title, but because it’s proportionally just as brief as an amusement ride it lasts roughly 6 hours, much shorter than most games like it.īut one thing I didn’t mention about summer camp is the other kids I would spend those days with. It does nothing new and even takes elements from other games pretty shamelessly, but it blends them together to make a delightful ride. Shadow Warrior 3 is like those field trips.

There is nothing groundbreaking about hitting up a go-cart course or going out to the local arcade, but compared to the mundanity of life in a small town, it is incredibly enthralling.

It wasn’t the kind of camp one might think of from things like 1998’s The Parent Trap or 2005’s Psychonauts, where you would leave home for the entire summer to adventure in the wilderness.
