If you're a Darksiders fan, then of course you should play Genesis. Don't be intimidated by (or even underestimating) the isometric perspective, because yeah, it's different from the other three games, but is still fun and engaging. FOR THE LORE: •Genesis is a prequel to even the events of the first Darksiders, therefore you play with War and Strife, which finally makes his debut as the remaining playable horseman. Here, they are on a mission to uncover Lucifer's plot against the balance. Death and Fury are elsewhere, so you will be playing the entire game with War and Strife. •You know the best thing of this entire game? War and Strife's dynamic. The game is worth it just for that alone. I'm serious. PLAY SOLO OR CO-OP •You can choose if you want to play solo, switching between War and Strife on the fly, or you can play with a friend, where each player will control one of the two horseman. (Both players must have the game to play co-op). THE BAD AND THE UGLY (AS THEY SAY) •This game has terrible platforming. So a lot of times you will be frustrated in the sections where platforming is required to progress through a level. But overall, it's more annoying than game breaking; •I've encountered some bugs and glitches, and the game crashed for me two times during my entire experience. So there's that. TOTALLY RECOMMEND Darksiders Genesis is a great game and even if you're not familiar with Darksiders lore, you should give it a try.

It's Darksiders's but in isometric. I prefer the 3rd person view, but this is also fresh, and now you have 2 characters to mix up the gameplay. It's alright

Cool artstyle, nice story. Plays perfect on Steam Deck!

May 2025

Awesome game different from the First Three, they made it Diablo like Isometric view a bit disappointed actually

Jan. 2025

A cynical, low quality cashgrab that's nothing like the other games and sullies the Darksiders name - well, until you actually play it and it turns into honestly one of the better titles in the franchise.
