Really fun game with an amazing story and great combat. It's unfortunate it still has bugs/crashes. If you keep getting a white screen after exiting your menu try capping the game to 120 fps that seemed to fully fix the problem for me. If your game crashes during a cutscene with Archon participate in the publicbeta by right clicking the game, going to properties, and clicking betas. If your game crashes in the Abyssal Forge DLC during the fight against the Abyssal Forge I found standing right in front of him makes him spam the AoE slam. After he does it like 8 or so times I would back away and he'd do the move where you can actually attack his face. Doing that strat made it so there wasn't 500 flames on the screen which I feel causes the crash

I first played this on the 360 and never got back to it after the big golem boss. Collect 3 things to collect 3 things to collect 3 things to collect 3 things. Cool hack and slash game, although very artificially inflated playtime and repetitive combat. Death is less edgy than War, but still rather funny to play as, due how broody and gritty he is. Combat is fun, fast paced and hits feel good. There are some variation of secondary weapons and a few combos, but its mostly button mashing. Lots of padding, dungeons are way too long, requires a lot of backtracking. When you think you are finally finishing a dungeon, you find out you just finished part 1 out 4. 20 hours in, I was about around the mid point, I'd say. Seem everything in this game requires you to find 3 rocks or 3 keys to progress. Then you need to get an item and that item needs 3 other items. "Hey Death, to bring back mankind you need to talk to this guy and ask him about to bring mankind back." "Death, I require you to get 3 keys to unlock this door so I can tell you how to bring mankind back." "Yes Death, I have one of the keys, but I need you to recover these 3 artifacts so I can trade it to you." Some of my major complaints: - The camera is really bad. You usually fight several enemies at once, trying to focus in one blocks the view of the others, but the free camera is too annoying to control while you fight. - Too many stuff, too little shortcuts. During a certain point you will have to pause the game to swap items or activate skills, as you can only keybind 4. Subweapons and skills have to share. - Death is slow. As in REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEALLY slow. He won't walk faster than a slow run, even his horse (on the few places you can use him) is slow as hell and has limited dashes before you have to wait. - No checklist for collectables. You missed one pebble or page and weren't following a guide from the start? You will have to revisit EVERY SINGLE SPOT trying to find it. - Glitches. Had some cases of getting stuck in rocks, not being able to move after unpausing the game, the hud dissapearing, sounds stopping, puzzles not activating. - Puzzles are streamlined. You can sometimes sequence break by jumping on some spots, but most of the time you can only jump on allowed walls, as every other ledge or wall is broken, or just can't be climbed for no reason. Its somewhat a good game, but it really should have been 1/3, maybe 1/2, the length.

100% Achievement Review: A quick review based on my experience completing all the (available) achievements. Title: Darksiders II Deathinitive Edition Summary: Hack n slash adventure game Personal notes: The second in the Darksiders series, this is my personal favorite, and the reason why I decided to replay this series. Builds off of the first game perfectly with many great additions. You play as Death and are on a mission to avenge War from the first game. There are new abilities, better movement, and a proper loot and customization system. Achievement-wise, a few are difficult such as reaching Lv 30, this requires playing through NG+, or a personal difficulty I encountered.. The Crucible has 100 Waves and to beat It you have to complete all of these, my game froze about four times on the final fight on Wave 100 which would send me back to wave 76(previous checkpoint). I heard this was due to high dps on the NG+ but was frustrating regardless. Other than this, I had a great time with this game and would highly recommend it at its price, not to mention it goes on sale quite often. Time it took to complete: 48hrs Most difficult achievement(s): -Epic! (Death Reaches Level 30) -The Secondary Adventure (Complete all Secondary Quests) -Is There Anyone Else? (Complete The Crucible) -BFA (Unlock Everything) Difficulty rating: ★★★★★★★☆☆☆ 7/10 Overall rating: ★★★★★★★★★☆ 9/10
