Holy hell, this is one fantastic game! If Borderlands, Doom and Diablo had a baby, it would be named Shadow Warrior 2. I have yet to find something I dislike about the game. I literally beat the first Shadow Warrior (not the original) the night before 2 came out, and I have to say that the controls are faaaarrrrr more refined and intuitive. I really like the upgrade system, weapon mod system, and just how good it feels to slice and dice one second and blow things up the next. It's seriously a fantastic game so far, even the fight music and main menu music is amazing, super fitting to the overall feel of the game. The banter between some of the characters is pretty great, cheesy and funny. It's like Borderlands where you're free to roam around in individual areas, so it's not really "open world" but it's open enough, and procedurally generated enough to make going back to a location feel fresh. Speaking of going back, there's a teleport system that allows you to teleport back to your base, so you can sell stuff or whatever, and then you can teleport back to EXACTLY where you teleported from. It's fantastic, no running back and forth between locations, it's just simple and streamlined and very well thought out.

I won't go into all the minute details of the game so as to avoid spoilers, suffice it to say I'm loving it so far, and it may in fact be me 2016 Game of the Year.
