Edit: A little embarrassing, but I just realized that I talked about the redux and steam dosbox thing twice. Whoops, too late now! I also noticed that my mic quality was much worse in some parts, should not happen in future reviews.

Edit 2: I said something about just thinking "meh, that was okay" whenever I finished it for the first time. I misworded it. I love this game and probably always will, but I think I mean to just say that the final boss fight just felt kind of underwhelming, at least for everything that led up to it. Unlike Tchernobog in blood (wait no he didn't) or the cyclops in Duke 3D, Zilla didn't feel like a challenge at all and I can always beat him on my first attempt without dying once. That, plus I probably play it less than the other two big Build Engine games (Blood and Duke 3D). I revist SW once every few years, but I revist Duke and Blood every few months.

I was a week late in uploading this, but happy 20th birthday to this game.
May 13, 1997.

It's been a long while since I've made any review, and (I am aware this is my longest review so far)
this one took me WEEKS to make, but It's safe to say I have decided I'm going to make reviews whenever I get free time and focus a little more on them.
I'm going back to college in September so when that happens, It will take quite a while for me to make videos,
probably a month or two max.
I don't get paid but it's a pretty nice time passer and I love reviewing these neat ass games.
If you have any game recommendations, don't hesitate, I will gladly consider them if I have the game around
or get a copy.

If you liked this review, then subscribe away because I'm making many more of these.
Also, PLEASE give Luke Jansen a subscribe, or at least a look, he remakes older video game tunes and does a kickass job at them all. Definitely worth a listen, you might find something you like on his channel.
