Shank 2 PC Review

Whenever you are angry on somebody or want to revenge i would suggest you play this game. Shank 2 returns with a story of redemption as Shank, a former mob hitman with a dark and vengeful past, is thrust back into action when the lives of those close to him are endangered. Expanding on the original game’s rich and intuitive combat and control system, Shank 2 continues Klei's tradition of making fluid brawling controls and stunningly beautiful visuals that leapfrogs the competition in the 2D side-scrolling genre. I dint play the prequel-shank. But i very much liked this game because of the intense bloodbath, superbly animated visuals, and much because of his (Shank) never ending energy and adrenaline filled in him.


Though i dint play the prequel, i read the story and understood that Shank has a soft corner for justice and his people in general. Well, Shank 2 starts off with the story left behind in its prequel, much to its dismay it lacks the story needed in the sequel. Anyways i dint care about the story cause i was blowing some dude's head off or plunging my chainsaw into some guy's stomach. Haha pretty much fun..:D. Shank sets out to take revenge because of things done to him in the original game. He travels in a bus to go his village only to find out his people are taken hostages and their organs are sold in the market to make profit. The evil mind behind all this is Magnus who suffers from some type of disease. The doctor thinks the cure can be made from a woman who they captured. Shank finds out the woman is none other than the caretaker of the orphanage he grew up in. 

Chainsaw- My favourite

While fighting his way, he encounters several bosses and enemies. I particularly found the boss fights very tough and i have to admit i used a trainer in some to cross the level. Although killing the enemies is very much cool and awesome, boss fight felt boring. Weapons were the usual ones generally used in any shooter game but when shank kills using them it was brutal and awesome. Using combos one can get maximum points to unlock other weapons or armour. I would want kill any enemy with chainsaw-my favourite- just plunge the fucking chainsaw into the stomach and feel the blood spill onto your face. Awesome \m/ \m/ 

Brutal kills

Game progresses as a scrolling type and it goes very smoothly at a rate of 60fps. Coming to visuals, its very cartoonist and artsy. Love the visuals. I have come to known that the combat style and smoothness has increased though much was not done in terms of story. 

Stunning visuals

Developer klei has made the game awesome and i want to thank them for that. The game serves as a means to reduce my anger. 
Although much was not to the story part, this is a smooth brawler with gorgeous spectacle, and its dedication to nailing its second chance makes it one of the best action games in recent memory. Its been a good adventure playing this one. :D


My rating is 7.5...
