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.

This was the first game in the series I played and it got me interested to try out the whole trilogy next! I played the whole campaign in co-op mode and I played with War through out the whole campaign and the game is an overall 6.5-7/10 The pros: - Story seemed interesting and a good set up for Darksiders 1 - The combat is fun as hell and very satisfying - Arena mode is a very good addition that compliments the best parts of the game - The puzzles although some simple were mostly fun to engage with. - Progression system is fun and an interesting take, especially for war and all his different sword abilities. The cons: - The traversal is awful due to the top down camera, when doing climbing/platforming puzzles it felt like playing a PS2 game. - Trackback game design choices: There is a lot of elements in the levels towards the beginning of the game that are locked behind mechanics that you unlock later in the game, causing you have to replay levels you've already beat to get this upgrades/collectibles. This would work great if the whole game was open world but on a level based game it felt awful and very infuriating. - The core system felt like it had no impact on how I played my character, the cores although an important part of the progression system, I just haphazardly put cores in slots that had the most benefit towards my overall power without noticing too much difference in the combat itself. - Buying combos from Dis (merchant you unlock around the first third of the game) felt very unnecessary for War (again this is the character I play all of the story with), I just bought everything and button mashed my way through the game. - There was dissonance between the characters where almost all characters are very serious and broody and very much felt in place for the world they are portrayed in except for Strife, which is weird since he is one of the playable characters. For most of the game he felt very out of place, like a wanna be Deadpool character with "funny" one liners through out the whole campaign except for some sections where he gets serious and seems to fall in line with the other characters. This can be very hit or miss with players (was a humongous miss with me), because it felt like the lines for the characters were written by 2 different writers (or 2 different teams of writers) where one tried to push the character towards more a comic relief, quick witted, one liner character and the other team tried to make him feel like more part of the world he is in more broody serious. All in all it was a fun experience but without having the context of the other 3 games in the franchise (although I know the general gameplay of them) this was a different take on the franchise with a new camera angle (although it was very clunky for traversal sections of the game) and more of a Diablo like feel rather than DS, but it was more of a fun Co-op game rather than a fun DS game.

it's fun until you have to jump on specific angle and a tight platform with a locked camera... whoever got that idea is a D*ck
