I've always loved this game, the combat is super fun and the voice acting is top notch. my only problem is the cliffhanger ending especially since we never got the third game.

core childhood game for me. started it on the 360 over a decade ago and have now 100% it on steam a decade later. this game is better than some current day games and would highly recommend EMBRACING THE DARKNESS. 10/10 would lose sanity again.

For the game released 13 years ago this is banger. WHATDAYA WANNA SEE IS HERE, MONKEY! Stylization like comics is really good, feels like Dishonored or Wolf Among Us but even better. Hub locations make u feel like real mob boss, literally Scarface. Story is craaazy good, but it ends in a cliffhanger and we dont have the darkness 3 obviously so u need to go read comics after playin. Game is niether short nor long, it's perfecto - 7 hours to complete campain plus there's some extra missions. Der was some bugs like stuck in door or in vent but it always fixes by going windowed mode + turning on Vsync. Played with gamepad on Killer diff., really fast and fun game. 10/10 thats how I remember all games from my childhood - fun action with good story, buy it in any price.

weird and cool game. I wish it was a bit longer but I was invested the whole time in the story even if it didn't always make sense. I hope they eventually make a 3rd game even if it's not likely. I also need the first game remastered on pc asap!

Amazing game with revolutionary combat styles. Compelling story. Great voice acting. Such a shame this never got the sequel it needed... the ending left the story on a cliffhanger and never followed through
