    GOD OF WAR computer because everything remembers him, executions, After-kill spells, Environment, combat, Quick time events, and so on.

    Biggest problem in the game and only the high difficulty of both puzzles and enemies

    The plot has nothing to do with the Bible and is based on the comic book of the same name. It is interesting to follow the development of history. The game's graphic is also made in comic style and looks decent.
    The game is filled with a variety of puzzles and secrets that are in each location. Sometimes it is quite not easy to pass them.
    As a result, the game turned out to be a cool and fun slasher.    … Expand

The world is split into separate locations with many areas initially inaccessible until later in the game. The center of the world, The Scalding Gallow, functions as a hub where War is given new objectives and paths to unlock new areas, many of which require the use of newly-gained abilities to progress.… Expand

    In the beginning, I noticed that the paced was oddly slow. Which is actually balanced once the game showered you with upgrades & items. Not just through battle, but It was also vitals to every puzzle you are into.

    Outstanding voice acting. I don't know who were the cast was, but I really hear a lot of voices with a similar tone from Dota 2. Story's direction were also great even though there's not much to it, nonetheless, it was very fitting to the theme.

    Definitely a fantastic, well executed/polished action-adventure game. However, there's really nothing innovative that the game serve to have my perfect score, but given the fact that I'm considering that, makes the game highly recommendable from me.    … Expand

The World Map design is perfect! 9/10... there are some bad checkpoints and fast travel points... the fast travel mechanic is really cool and creative... respect to Devs team sadly there is no hint system, if you are lost in the map or confused or can't figure how to kill certain enemy or boss... you either gonna die a lot trying to figure it out on your own or just Google it because "Watcher" is useless lol... Watcher is waste feature to be honest most of the puzzles are really really cool and enjoyable... but still there are few annoying ones

    late game you gonna die A LOT!!!! from very cheap 1 hit kill... there are few enemies will strike one and half of your health bar in just one hit!!!! lol

    What a disgrace to the gaming world. This game is the second biggest disappointment in my life (the first one being my son Harry... ungrateful little s**t).

When, I bought this game, I expected some fun slasher game, filled with amazing gameplay mechanics, some cool combos, some good puzzles along the way, upgrades, nice soundtrack etc. Well, I got nothing like this. NOTHING! The first 20 minutes of the game are really good, they encourage us, give us some good fun. The city is falling, people are dying... yep, just a typical sunday for a little shy fellow named WAR. But the excitement will leave you sooner, than your meth-abusing-girlfriend and the s**tshow soon commences. It's hard for me to say this, but have you ever worked? If you're as old as me, I'm sure you had some s**ty jobs in your life, that were tedious, boring and you just wanted to go home, because you knew that the stuff you were doing at work was pointless and not worth your time? Well, these are the exact, same feelings, I had while playing this game. Before, I delve into the details, let me bring up the biggest flaw of this game... something that for me is the most important thing in the game... and it's the speed of the person we're playing as. War is slow. It's very slow. Why is there no sprint button? There's like a fast dash under the left alt but it's short and after you make it, the character stops for a second. What the hell is this supposed to be? War is slow like snail... if the snail was slowed down by another snail that was in front of him and was also slowing down, because there was a sign for the snail people that said "slow down". Is this a joke? Why the main character is so slow, IN A FU***NG VIDEOGAME that 80% of gameplay is just going somewhere... this game is wasting our time on purpose! This pisses me off... I need to talk to the stone giant and he's on the north side of the town very far away and it takes me 10 minutes to get there and in game nothing happens at that point. There are these little demon people going about, but who cares? I just avoid them, so I don't waste more of my time and I'm just walking. Darksiders: Apocalypse Walking Simulator, buy now! I guess in Darksiders 2, Death cures people like Gregory House... that's just how ridiculous walking is in this game. So when we're not walking in Darksiders, we're solving stupid puzzles... like finding swords for mother of Jesus. I guess she's mother of Jesus, because the statues look like her... who cares? Moving on, if we're not searching for swords, then we're doing other boring things like searching for switches that activate another switches that activate some gates and behind those gates there's a chest and inside that chest is a key that will open another door and so on and so on... it's always the same. Each chapter is like this and it makes me want to die. This game is work and nobody is even paying me for playing this! You know what this reminds me of? Doom from 1993... on each level you had to find three keys... but Doom had amazing gameplay and cool secrets and it was released in FU***NG 1993! Darksiders came out in 2010! So when we're not looking for switches or walking, we're fighting and the fighting is not bad. It actually reminds me of the X-Blades game which wasn't exactly a masterpiece... or even great lol. So, we're be mostly doing the same finisher on lots of enemies and fighting with bosses will be the most retarded thing, you're ever gonna see in a videogame. Why is the each later boss easier? What the hell is going on? And not it's even like the game is hard... played it on apocalypse difficulty and I died like only several times... mostly because of jumping into the lava like an idiot, that I am. The rest of my deaths were because of the first boss, that giant booby demon lady. The next bosses were a "walk"( heh walk... see what I did there, because the game is a walking simulator) in the park... linkin park. So what that even leaves us with so far? Soundtrack was forgettable.. graphics were fine... story was the only thing that kept me going and going. This game is a joke and I don't understand how people can enjoy it. You're a bunch of masochists... you're sick... seek help. I'm giving this a 4, because I liked the beginning and the story.. fighting was cool too, but that's all.

    (don't mind many of the reviewers who complain that the game is too hard or unbalanced when they are playing on the hardest difficulty, maybe the game can improve on the doability of the difficulty levels but if you are signing up for the hardest level then expect the hardest gameplay where you WILL struggle).
    I combines and improves some of the Dark Soul series game features such as the ability to invest all of your souls at once, the leveling is a lot more streamlined which can be a CON I suppose as well.

    CONS:
    While the list of cons might be a bit longer it is meant as a general feedback to an extent for the devs as well as for the people who want to lay the game and what they can expect.
    The level design while great and colorful can sometimes feel the same and you can get lost in the colors and labyrinthine design.
    There is a lack of customizations in some area. Another point is that he game could have always used a lot more banter to fill in the exploration and a bit deeper lore presentation.
    Not all weapons feel that cool which is to be expected I suppose but I wish there was more variety between the weapons that you are actually going to use for balance purposes.    … Expand

    And that's probably it, a very God of War inspired game which feels very unpolished and rushed. The combat system is vastly unsatisfying, as much as is the weapons in this game and upgrades. Boss Fights are extremely boring if someone is hoping for interesting Boss Battles. Not much creativity in this game, most ideas came from God of War. Furthermore they tried to add some Adventure elements like semi-open world and puzzles which are also unsatisfying and dull. Literally they tried to mix God of War and Zelda.
    Lastly the plot, it was merely angels vs demons fight on the third realm called Earth which is populated by humans. And you play as one of the 4 horsemen called War (wow they didn't even tried to mask it as their own game). The cut scenes, voice acting and story telling is one of the worst I have ever seen in a triple A game of the 2010's. Well hopefully the plot gets more interesting by the end of the game, but ruined by the subhumanly bad voice acting & cutscenes. Don't buy this game even if it's on sale, use your money for charity or buy an Indie game instead.
    The only ones who can love this game are people who never owned a Playstation or played God of War and other Hack & Slay games exclusive on Playstation.    … Expand

    I love this game on of the best hack slash game out there and I loved it more than God of War 1.
    It has much better combat and more variation and good story with one cool and bad-*ss character WAR. Its an amazing start to an amazing series and there should be 4 games.

    I love action games, especially dark ones, like God of War, Ninja Gaiden and Devil May Cry. I thought I would like Darksiders too but I was wrong.

    Design: The game tried so hard to be badass and funny that I couldn't help but cringe at the cutscenes. Story: Plot is too predictable from the start. Graphics: VERY dated for a 2010 game.

    Control: What a convoluted mess. After hours I still couldn't figure out which button I should press during a battle so I got killed. And I played it with a controller! Not to mention the narrow POV, garbage camera, and on top of that no R3 to centre camera function! Are you kidding me?

    The game is not bad if you can ignore the horrible controls though I don't know why I should play it when there are much better action games out there.    … Expand

    Slasher with an open world create a perfect combination, as evidenced by the Darksiders. The game has very nice, varied fairy-tale graphics and nice soundtrack. An interesting character leveling. I think this game is one of the best slashers on the market.

    Well, I use two post-procesing forced into the game: FXAA (max quality) and morphological filtering, force AA edge dected (multisample) at 8qX (that is 16x in nVidias) and Texture Ultra quality (with AMD optimacer). V-Sync at 58 frames (you know, new patch in Catalys AMD allow you to fix V-sync frames to a minimun of 55 and a maximun of 95).

    Doing this the game improve a lot. GRAPICS AND EFFECT AT MAMMOTH LVLS. Really impressive the good optimization of this game, a 2010 game support so hard-core high-end set up is impressive.

    Most of the game is not fight at all. Puzzles are stupidly easy and they only made you lose a lot of time (and fun).

    Maybe people said this game is hard because they tried to block in fights (there is a small dealy in blocks) so you have to be very, very acuarate and wait the exact moment, or just dash an hit. I calculate that for every counter I can made 4 slash. Just dash and slash :D. Very easy game. (Yeah, I have the madman trophy in the Witcher II, so this is a chesse eating game).

Killing enemies is rewarding, and finishers feel really good, even though the secondary weapons weren't really comfortable in use, and made me use only that huge sword. But that's not the last of "it-could-have-been-done-better". Some of the ranged weapons became useless after half an hour of having them in the inventory, and War's horse felt balky. Anyways the storyline and fun Darksiders gave me make me want to go, try the sequel. I'm actually on my way to do that, and I hope it got away from it's predecessor's flaws.… Expand

    I am a 30 years old game who played through console in his childhood and played mostly RTS(Starcraft, Warcraft III, Company of Heroes, Dawn of War). I haven't played lot of third person slash / shooter except maybe Legacy of Kain on PS2. I like about every game type except MMO, who are IMO, time-killers, might as well get a lobotomy and sit on a chair on IV's.

    I have played this game on PC for around 36 hours(with a Logitech Gamepad, who plays that with a mouse and keyboard? that is plain stupid i.e.: all the bad reviews), the controls are very intuitive and simple and I haven't finished the game yet. The puzzles are fairly challenging without being impossible, yes I had to use youtube a few times where my patience was running thin. I play this game just to relax and switch off, this game will not drive you nuts and is actually entertaining, also there is no "grinding" whatsoever so people with a a life will enjoy it (if you have no life you will probably chew through it in a few days; I have been there once upon a time).

    Pros: Good storyline, fantastic arts(as the attention to details in the background and the overall world), very entertaining. Joe Madureira is a fantastic graphist and that shows. You will get immersed in this universe of desolation. This game reminds me of a 3D version of Zelda a link to the past, you have to use your tools in order to get through dungeons and puzzles, you can upgrade your life, your wrath and your armor aquire a very few items but still you need to find those secret chests. The combat is fairly simple but I am not a hack and slash player (not even remotely). To get through this game you actually have to observe and think about what you're doing( not just slash through and "go up in levels"). The boss are reasonably do-able on a first fight, if you take the time to check the environment and the boss itself you will find its weakness.

    Cons: No replayability, no "leveling up" and super super dupa-omni boss (who drops "epic" nice looking armor to show to your "virtual friends") to kill after grinding and leveling for 200 hours(i.e. wasting your time / life). For me it's a pro, but it seems to be a "con" if we look at the popularity of MMO RPG.    … Expand

    -Plot:I have to say,a lot of games develop plots this way,however,they don't present characters in the same way this game does.The events make sense,the characters are connected just fine and it is generally pleasing to see a plot such as this one.It's a very pleasant sight when near the end,everyone 's intentions seem to unwrap before your eyes as you begin the final fight.The only bad thing I can say about the story is that it wasn't clearly explained what would happen if War really did manage to complete his goals,because all we got was a rough outline of what might happen.9 for story.
    -Music:The music fits the combat,fits the events and fits the exploring.It makes this game seem a bit better,mostly because the music fits great with every other aspect.It even makes me want to keep playing and listen to it even when I'm not playing.10 for music.
    -Game play:The controls are good,they respond properly and there's no problem there.There are some glitches,however,none that would make the game seem broken.The character design adds a lot to the game play,as it makes the combat and dialogues seem quite satisfying.And last but not least,the A.I. are very good.To make good A.I. for characters of large scales and such design is always a hardship,however,this game managed to make them just right.I haven't experienced any flaws with the A.I. ,they seem to be near perfection and might be some of the best out there.9 for game play,because of the bugs.
    Replay value:There are a lot of extras,some of them hard to find during the first time a person plays the game,but they aren't really crucial to the story or its development.However,that abyssal armor was pretty sweet.The experience and the collectibles might be the only 2 things that would make a person replay this game.So it doesn't really make you want to replay it,as it isn't really an open world and you can't really miss anything that's important to the story.8,as it doesn't really make people want to replay it.
    Finally,the graphics are great,the plot is very close to perfect,the music is amazing,game play is close to amazing and the replay value is above average,but not near perfect.(10+9+10+9+8=9.2,and I give this game a well deserved 9.)Try it,play it and I guarantee you will like it.    … Expand

    I am going through the story firstly in the apocalyptic difficulty and feel that the pace of the game is mostly quick and intensive and this means its "enter aiming mode,aim down,shoot,quit aiming mode" maneuver is annoying and destructive to the fluency,though players need to execute this "combo" quite often.
    Sometimes hints are not obvious enough for new players like me,for that I got a little confused with the complicated set of skills and enhancement.
    Rotating map is common among many action games but impractical at all compared with the mini maps in Blizzard's WOW.
    After completing all of the elements of the game,I should say that it is a masterpiece which is of the same level of those more famous games,like Diablo,Warcraft,Biohazard franchises.Though I don't think the traditional RPG parts of Darksiders 2 is interesting enough,but boring,I hope that Nordic Games treasure,develop this beautiful story and let more people try,taste it with more fascinating,clean Darksiders games.
    A bad glitch showed up:toggling among the game and other program while I was playing it may cause the achievement tracking/counting system/function no longer effective,which disturbed some of the achievements completion and urged me to have some parts replayed.

    Had a blast playing the game. Just bought part 2 and would recommend the game to anyone. It has a few bugs and nuances due to it being a pc port but not a big deal. Game looks great on 1080 and performs great overall. Would recommend.

    My overall experience with Darksiders was enjoyable. The aspects of the game that it took from previous titles such as Zelda and God of War were all well implemented. While the game may not be as good as the titles it takes mechanics from, it is a decent title that I would recommend picking up.

    This is a really good and fun game. It's a lot like God of War; very hack and slash, fun, fast-paced combat and a substantial amount of puzzle solving. The boss fights are very well done, and the game can be quite challenging. The story is very interesting and exciting, though nowhere near biblical accurate. The game does have its faults but the ups in this game more than surpass them.

    However, i don't think its a bad game. In fact i think its pretty decent but not what i expected.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. My initial thoughts on this game were influenced by a friend. He bragged and bragged about how great this game was, so I thought I would try it and see if it lived up to my expectations set by my friend. They blew them out of the water! I know I will receive hate mail for saying this, but it is comparable to Legend of Zelda with a slightly darker, more destructive and angry main character! Now let me save myself before all of my credibility is shot to ****, it is not better than Legend of Zelda games! It has very similar features, mildly challenging puzzles, battle arenas, bosses that should kick the crap out of you, and of course an obnoxious voice in your ear (demon, navi, whatever...its annoying!). A few things that really stood out to me when playing:
    1) Climbing on vines - In a lot of games, climbing up vines, walls, etc is a slow, painful process that I dread doing. This game had a nice way to expedite the movement and make that one tiny part of the game (which was painful to do) much better!
    2) Pretty decent enemies - much like LoZ there are enemies which you hate to kill (for whatever reason) and there are enemies you love to kill! Same here. The poison, meat men were the bane of my existence! However, there is nothing more satisfying from insta-kiling bats while flying through the air! Another nice aspect of the enemies were that they scaled with your "level." The easy to kill "dogs" had a higher "level" which were not as easy to kill and allowed for continued satisfaction in their demise. Other monsters have a similar example. This was a good choice by the game designers!
    3) Your secondary arsenal - You are given many different tools throughout the game and are required to use all of them at least once in a significant part of the game, whether that be bosses, puzzles, and even standard movement around the world. This allows for a more dynamic character, which was not necessary but certainly beneficial!
    4) Demon Shop - This certainly provides more dynamic fighting sequences, otherwise I know the game would get pretty boring very quickly. My favorite is the baseball swing...the satisfaction is endless...

    Graphics: Yes the graphics are outdated as I write this, the game was released in 2010 and I beat it early 2013 (new, aspiring gamer). Even so, the graphics that do matter are good enough to satisfy most gamers! Those who are unsatisfied are either shallow when it comes to graphics, or have a disposition against the game and refuse to acknowledge what it truly looks like. Yes maybe a car will fly through part of a tree when you throw it. Does that ruin the game? NO! If it does, get a job doing graphics and fix it! 9/10

    Sound: Nothing comes to mind when I think of sounds, neither good nor bad...obviously nothing that detracted from the game! 7/10

    Character Development: Some people are very passionate when it comes to character development, so I thought I would include a section on my views of character development. War comes down to earth, kicks *** and then realizes that it was a mistake! So he is stripped and reduced to "nothing" and he has to build himself back up. I'm not a huge fan of this kind of beginning because until you catch up to where you were at the beginning, you always feel like the main character is less than his full potential. If you start out as nothing...you can build up to something amazing and never have experienced that loss of power! War is hell-bent on revenge and atonement for his disgrace throughout the game, which is not over-played, but you can certainly see it throughout the cut-scenes. Otherwise you do not learn much about he mysterious protagonist! For better or for worse! 7/10

    Game-play: The game gets better the longer you play it, to be truly honest, you get out of it what you put in. Cheesy, but true! If you don't collect souls, if you don't use other skills/tools, if you don't try and find any hidden chests. You will not have as much fun! Secondly, the game starts out as a dynamic hack-n-slash. You kill everything, any way you can and solve small puzzles to get to the next place. However, the last quarter(?) of the game (when you try to free the Angel of Death), has fantastic puzzles and relentless mini-bosses! If the entire game would have been like the last quarter with the same amount of fighting as the first three quarters, I would have for sure given this game 10/10. Alas, it is not so. 9/10.

    All in all, this game was a gem and I truly enjoyed every moment of playing it! If this game is not on your wish list, on your shelf or in your steam library. You are gaming wrong! -Quant    … Expand

    Darksiders is a more action-oriented brother to The Legend of Zelda. It focuses more on visuals and exciting combat. The puzzles are less complex and focuses more on difficult fights. This would all make for a fantastic game, except that the combat feels a bit dumbed down (e.g. you do the same moves over and over again, and your massive sword feels like it's lacking in power).

Finally, the boss battles are epic and diverse, but I feel like some of them were too difficult- I had a very hard time with the first battle and the last battle relies on Quicktime events that were difficult to execute on my computer (I had to tap the action button at a specific rate to win, and you have to do this three times- mashing the button didn't work, and it took me over a dozen tries to find the rhythm the first time, and then I had to replicate the same rhythm two more times, which was was far more difficult than it should have been).

I was mostly drawn in by its great setting that takes place in a post-Armageddon world where both angels and demons deem you as an enemy. The art style and the environments were really beautiful as well, what enhanced the atmosphere. After you've gotten past the first level, that's when your character starts to learn new moves, making combat very fun and engaging. In addition you get some new weapons as well, like the Scythe, for more crowd control, and also a Tremor Gauntlet, if you fancy power punching. Among all the combat, the boss fights especially stood out for me. Each and every boss fight was both challenging and enjoyable at the same time and this is perhaps the game's biggest strength in my opinion. The cool cutscenes and the special kills were an icing on the cake. Although there are so many good things about this game and although I've given it a 9, I also have several criticisms. First of all, the game is not exactly a very good console port. The keyboard and mouse control scheme was more or less playable, but it's the fact that you couldn't change graphics options apart from resolution. Of course this isn't much of a problem for someone with a powerful PC, but for those of us with average machines, even on low resolution there is a noticeable drop in framerate in some areas of the game, making it quite stuttery. Another thing that I disliked - some areas were just a bit too long, like the Hollows and the Ashlands. Not sure whose bright idea it was that the sewers and the desert are good candidates for lengthy levels, since those usually tend to be amongst the most boring of the environments in any game. The Black Throne level was perhaps the biggest offender. Although it was a very beautiful level with some cool battles, it had way too much backtracking and also made you do the same thing 3 times! And my last criticism would be towards the puzzles. Although there were some great puzzles in the game, some others were really annoying. They weren't hard or anything. You could figure out most of them right away. It's just that to execute those solutions usually took too long, requiring too much running and jumping about, as well as tonnes of trial and error, and hence that was breaking the pace of the game. All those criticisms are quite strong for me and I guess if I wasn't so charmed by the game's setting and art style, I probably would've given it an 8 rather than a 9. Overall the game is highly entertaining and worth checking out. Going to be trying out the second one no doubt.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is like a shiny apple you see in a store, which you buy and start to eat. The first few bites are very delicious - the graphic, the hack-and-slash feeling, the sounds, all feel very nice. But, when you bite deeper you find out a squashed part - in order to master the game, you need to master its controls, and the controls are so numerous, and so poorly ported from console, that they incur a heavy strain on the average player.
    Then you bite even deeper - you encounter the first true boss, Tiamat- and you find a rotten part. There is nothing that prepares you for this boss, and the tactics, while very easy conceptually, are just very hard to implement properly. Moreover, if you fail to do proper tactics immediately, it becomes exponentially harder to finish this boss.
    Nevertheless, you decide to take one more bite, but you find worms crawling in the deep core of the game. The number of controls one needs to master to advance through the game increases by every "level", and the inability to see the "health" of a boss, or in that sense any indicator that you are doing any damage to the boss, is extremely frustrating ! This is particularly frustrating on the worm boss, where you run in circles, shooting at the boss, for a random amount of time, until the boss falls dead ? This is an insult to any mature player in my opinion.
    Overall, this game had a lot of potential, maybe this potential is fulfilled in the console game, but the PC version is just frustrating to play...    … Expand

    A fantastic game with an epic storyline. I see many complain about the controls, I finished it twice with an xbox controller and it's flawless... maybe some games are just meant for a gamepad. Otherwise, though, there is only one bug that I (and apparently the community) know of. I give it a 9 only for the grief it gave people w/o gamepads

    Great game BUT you NEED a controller. Keyboard control is HORRIBLE. I really don't know what they where thinking when making it... You can save EVERYWHERE for the people complaining about the way point... PRESS start. look bottom of the screen. You see Data? Click on it, you can save and load from there.

    The story is cool, music too (they give you the soundtrack when you bought the game    Great game BUT you NEED a controller. Keyboard control is HORRIBLE.

    The story is cool, music too (they give you the soundtrack when you bought the game FINALLY a company who really think buying a game = buying the soundtrack too). Combat can be sometime repetitive and sometime you see they made the game longer with annoying things like=OH there is a door to open but 3 locks. To open one lock, you have to play for like 30-45 min.

    Anyway if you see this game on steam sales and you were thinking about buying it before. GET IT.
    P.S. i got this game free when i pre order: Space Marine    … Expand

    This is a very good game. It feels like a very good hack and slash game, the graphics are good for its time, the story line its not perfect but its good. On the mouse and keyboard option for pc is feeling all right but its still recomended to play with a controller. I suggest everyone to buy this game!

    Darksiders is a game that kept me wholly entertained throughout it's 26 hour campaign. (30hours with all the collectables). It borrows gameplay elements from the likes of Zelda and Metroid and utilizes them well. The combat is fluid, raw, and very entertaining. The story is well constructed and the characters are believable and interesting. The game looks quite beautiful in full 1080p andDarksiders is a game that kept me wholly entertained throughout it's 26 hour campaign. (30hours with all the collectables).

I really have nothing bad to say about Darksiders other than I wish it was even longer. I cannot wait for Darksiders II. If you haven't played this one yet, you're really missing out.… Expand

    PC answer to God of War is not without flaws but the lack of competition on the PC platform makes Darksiders an unconditional winner. Be warned - No fun without a joypad! Forget about playing Darksiders with a keyboard and mouse only. [Issue#197]

    Not the most innovative of games, but give Darksiders a go and you'll most likely be pleasantly surprised. [Issue#246, p.106]

    Sure, you've seen it all somewhere before, but Darksiders manages to tie together just about every adventure-game idiom and make it all work.
