    Darksiders is the epitome of a mixed game with each polished element attached to a flaw:

    - Its visual style is well executed, but extremely generic (though if their generic style was to match that of the generic story, then I applaud them for that consistency); - its colour palette is definitely vibrant and approachable, but it clashes with the overly serious tones of the writing (with    Darksiders is the epitome of a mixed game with each polished element attached to a flaw:

    - Its visual style is well executed, but extremely generic (though if their generic style was to match that of the generic story, then I applaud them for that consistency);
    - its colour palette is definitely vibrant and approachable, but it clashes with the overly serious tones of the writing (with humour as bland as the story and art style);
    - the combat is satisfying, but many tools are shoehorned in for individual missions, or entirely unnecessary wastes of currency;
    - the enemy variety is highly diverse, but the methods of dispatching them are close to identical across the board;
    - the puzzles are interesting (if a tad long), but the tools used in them follow inconsistent physics across various scenarios;
    - finally, it's guidance to the player leaps between unnecessarily obvious to entirely absent.

    Overall, I went into this game hoping for a mindless hack-and-slash. Instead, it turned out to be a puzzle-game with intermittent hack-and-slash game-play. Generally, I would recommend this game to anyone with $5-10 knocking about (particularly if it's bundled with Darksiders II) looking for a casual hour or two of game-play across a few weeks of lazy evenings. Knowing now what it is, I will probably play the sequel, but only after ticking several more compelling games off of my list first. As for the third... perhaps I'll revisit it when it's heavily discounted... not an experience worth the retail price.    … Expand

    The game, although looking a lot better than the original, lacks many display options, and is still very, very buggy. If you play it I would recommend saving often in case of crashes.

    Achei medíocre. A premissa é interessante mas o desenvolvimento não. A gameplay não flui tão bem quanto o esperado para um jogo do gênero e no final a gameplay é resumida em bater e esquivar. Talvez, ao logo do jogo, isso mude. Mas eu particularmente não aguentei e quitei.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Got it for free in EGS. Played it back in 2010 and it was really interesting for a kid. Tried finishing the game a couple years ago, but stopped during the first mission cuz because. Now I had hard time starting cuz it was boring, then in the middle it got better, but in the end number of riddles killed, also the overall logic of every riddle has been put that way by.. whom?? Who (what character? what in-game logic?) expected a person to solve such riddles.. Bruh, the art/design team did good, but it looks stupid how War gets a time stop, grappling hook, smash glove, slow fall wings, a suriken, a teleport, and a GUN which is only useful for worms! Uh.. and I’ve had to play offline cuz MEMORY DUMP… Expand

    De toda las saga DarkSiders creo que esta primera entrega es la que mas destaca de todas. En mi opinión la cagaron en el segundo juego intentando innovar con un mundo abierto repleto de loot. Y la tercera parte a la cual le puse un 5 en un intento de volver a hacer lo mismo que hicieron con esta primera entrega pero de una forma desastrosa y caótica. Este juego simplemente es entretenido y suficientemente disfrutable para lo que te puede ofrecer la saga. Pero en si no destaca mínimamente en nada para poder recomendárselo a cualquiera.    … Expand

    I grew up playing Darksiders. It's nice to see that at least this game was given some respect in it's remaster.

    There's not really much to say about it. Improved visuals and performance. While you can still tell it was originally made for the 7th gen consoles, this really did the original game justice. One complaint I do have is about the harvester. While it's nice to have it now as    I grew up playing Darksiders. It's nice to see that at least this game was given some respect in it's remaster.

    One complaint I do have is about the harvester. While it's nice to have it now as it was originally a console exclusive, I would have preferred if it was handled the same way it was on the Xbox 360 and PS3. But that's a pretty small complaint. It's especially a breath of fresh air given all the other remasters that seem to be increasingly common now. The terrible Bioshock remasters. Sonic Colors ultimate. GTA trilogy.

    I would highly recommend this to anyone who either got a lot out of Darksiders the first time around and wants to play it again, or even to someone who just missed out and wants to give it a shot.    … Expand

    Вроде неплохая игра, которая берет кучу идей из других игр и компилирует их в себе (причем вполне успешно), но все равно не держит.
    Как итог - 3 раз пытаюсь её пройти, 3 раз дропаю где то на трети.

    Нууууу, это занятный слэшер, но далеко не самый лучший из тех, что я видел. Управление очень так себе, было желание сломать геймпад. В целом, маловероятно, что я буду его перепроходить, но, повторюсь, это было занятно.

    Even though this is a remake of a six-year-old game, it still holds up pretty well as far as gameplay is concerned. Darksiders: Warmastered Edition looks at its best at 4K resolution and as a game, it's better than its sequel.

    It's not quite as fresh and exciting as it was in 2010, but I still think it's something everyone should try out. If you've played it before, it's worth revisiting. If you haven't, it's a solid adventure that's well worth your time.

    Darksiders is one of the games you should have played in your gamer life. If you missed it back in 2010 the Warmastered Edition is the perfect chance to give it a try!
