It works similarly to any other arena mode that has appeared in games over the last ten years or so. When I finally came back to the arena mode, I was a little underwhelmed. On the other hand, though, the campaign drained the hype out of me for a few days. This allowed me to learn the game mechanics and figure out the jest of what everything is. However, I discovered that I had to complete the entire campaign in order to even unlock and play the arena mode. I had never played Shadow Warrior 3 prior to this review, but the arena mode intrigued me as something that could be a stress-relieving mode that can provide a few minutes of joy every once in a while. The core part of Shadow Warrior 3: Definitive Edition is the new arena mode, which I mentioned previously. There were a few times when I noticed that things in this edition of the game would pop in funny or wouldn’t quite line up with an animation which shouldn’t happen on a definitive edition of a game. Looking at the videos of the game prior to this re-release and reading the review Alexx did on the PlayStation 4 version of the game, there doesn’t appear to be too much of a difference from what I can tell. As you can imagine, that is not a lot of time for there to be a major increase in the visual quality of graphics. This should not come as a surprise considering that it has been less than a year since the original game came out. Sadly, there are no upgrades for graphics when it comes to PC. The first things to discuss are the graphics and performance.

However, this new version has replaced the old version and the developers have allowed owners of the original game to get this definitive edition for free. While bringing the game onto the next generation of consoles is a good reason for this edition, the new updates don’t give much of a reason for anyone on PC to pick up this new version over the original release. The first is that the game is finally being released for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S, and the second reason is that there is a new arena mode for the game and new skins that you can unlock.

The reasoning for this definitive edition is two-fold. Definitive editions of games are often done around major milestones or anticipated changes that come to the game.
