    Darksiders has a..."different" story. The gameplay brings nothing new. It's just a fairly good execution of things that games like Devil May Cry, God of War and Prince of Persia (PS2 era) presented us in the past. But the story makes up for that. Well, at least if you are into apocalyptic stories and like a badass main charcater with a lot of moral fiber.

    This is not a bad game. I enjoyed very much and if you like the genre, I promisse you, you WILL like this.    … Expand

    Quite a masterpiece of bold creativity.
    Fascinating story,character design and combat.
    War is cool! No too many words praising. The default key set of this one is a bit inconvenient for keyboard playing,so I needed to remap the keys. 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    Quite a masterpiece of bold creativity.

    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.
    Another glitch,the cloud save of this game is a vanity,maybe still is.
    A suggestion,a roaming mode after the end of the main story,having the game divided into parts of levels and bosses,and allowing replaying the story with all the collectibles completed,which would be convenient for players to patch up the missed achievements and enjoy beating the game cleanly.    … Expand

    A good puzzle, action, jump, slash game. Not the best, but good.
    Pros: Cool looking bosses, fun fighting, fun puzzles.
    Cons: Playing with a controller sometimes the aiming in fights is a bit annoying. A lot of times the camera angle is retarded. Ideally you would like to see yourself, the enemy and where you are going, most of the times you get two out of three. The story is generic as    A good puzzle, action, jump, slash game.

Considering this game is a complete rip-off of Soul Reaver one might expect that they could produce a better story considering the Legacy of Kain series (of which Soul Reaver is a part) has the best story in gaming history.

    So to sum up, fun but not a game of the year.    … Expand

    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.

    -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

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

    Absolutely amazing game. Great work on the puzzles and game-play. The game-play is a mixture of God of War and Devil may cry. You'll have to collect souls and do upgrades. In short it is worth buying.

    I give this game a score of 10 because this game does what a video game should do: Entertain you and make you escape in a "different world".

I haven't played lot of third person slash / shooter except maybe Legacy of Kain on PS2.

    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

    (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

    The term "console port" gets thrown around all too much these days, but in this games case it is completely accurate. This is a console port in all its faded glory, straight from controller to keyboard with little adjustment to gameplay, menu's, maps, inventory screens or even graphics selections and options. If you want to play this game, play it on a console.
