Cons
Con Crashes on Windows 10 with Nvidia cards
Those with the Windows 10 OS and a Nvidia graphics card may experience crashing problems wit the game. It has not been optimized for the OS, meaning there could be some game breaking bugs.
Con Story is pretty bland
The story does not really stand out and is a weak point of the game, though being a side scrolling platforming shooter/brawler the story is not really integral to the gameplay itself. Shank 2 takes on some heavy storied elements but sadly does not really take advantage of them and instead tends to just go over the top, which usually just falls flat.
