    Darksiders es un título que paso injustamente desapercibido, porque lo que no tiene en carisma u originalidad lo compensa con una aventura entretenida y muy bien realizada, con un sistema de combate excelente y unos jefes finales para el recuerdo.

    Por lo tanto, sino lo jugaste en su día te recomiendo encarecidamente este remaster, ya que técnicamente es la mejor versión que existe del título. Ahora bien, si lo jugaste en su día ten presente que este es exactamente el mismo título, sin ningún añadido de ningún tipo salvo en lo técnico.

    Aunque se le notan las costuras debido al paso del tiempo, sigue siendo un título muy bien diseñado y que disfrutaras enormemente si creciste con clásicos del género de aventura como Soul Reaver o Ocarina Of Time, títulos de los que bebe mucho y cuya mayor pega es no llegar al nivel de los mismos.    … Expand

    Just blah. There was another 2010 adventure game release that was also remastered for the PS4 that is also better than Darksiders in every way. That game is God of War III. It had a great combat, great and memorable boss battles, a great revenge story, and amazing for their time graphics that only get better with a remaster. Darksiders is inferior in every way though not a bad game.

Darksiders is inferior in every way though not a bad game.

    The highlight of Darksiders is the art style. The destroyed earth setting is common place after Gears of War, Destiny, and the many, many zombie games. Yet Darksiders has an artistic take to it that makes the world interesting 8 years after release. The chunky PS2 style environments really pop with the choice of colors and textures. Enemies are also different with each stage and not just the same enemies with different colors. The protagnist also has a wide range of weapons and animations that are not too difficult to learn. The range weapons are weak and have odd controls even by 2010 standards. Still, they looked cool.

    Where Darksiders fails is in every sense of innovation. Every trick in the game can be seen in other games of that era only other games did them better. Combat can get into a nice flow though never as nice as a Ninja Gaiden from the previous gen or the aforementioned God of War. I've seen this game compared favorable to a GameCube era Legend of Zelda. Even in 2010 that was a poor comparison. For adventure games at that time, we had Mass Effect, Bioshock, Uncharted, God of War, and a few others that pushed the limits of graphics and gameplay. I feel like Darksiders must have been a PS2/OG Xbox/Gamecube release and was stuck in development hell for 6 years. In the meantime, the developers saw all these great games and wanted to include more features like portals and this led to more delays. Darksiders could have been game of the year if it released in 2005.

    The game takes a while to find a groove. An early boss fight with a monster called Tiamat is terrible and I was ready to quit the game right there. Fortunately the game has 8 years of forum posts about Tiamat and they let me know the boss fights get better. Indeed they do and the bosses are mostly winnable with good strategy. The toughest fights are against hordes of monsters but even these can be won with a special burning rage form that the protagonist can build up with more kills.

    I would recommend Darksiders to people who love the Adventure game genre and are all played out of the offerings on hand. For everyone else, Darksiders is an OK adventure if you happen to get for cheap.    … Expand

    About 1/2 of this game is superb. The other half is tedious puzzles that only sometimes rise to requiring anything resembling conscious thought. Darksiders itself is a weird amalgam of DMC, Legend of Zelda, and sometimes Panzer Dragoon that does very well with combat and not particularly great with other stuff.

Like puzzles, the puzzles in this game genuinely feel like padding, and this game is 65% of these somewhat lame puzzles. In addition the quality of the level design takes a hit pretty early after the first couple of dungeons and the games ending feels somewhat slap-dash as well. Like they were running out of money, and had to put something in the slot, but could only agree on one last little bit of padding in the form of a world wide fetch quest.… Expand

    Combat system is just awful: Long pause after dash, camera too close, character is too open while performing combos, hit boxes of enemies attak are too wide. Puzzles are tedious. Art style is ok by me, but it is a matter of taste.

    a game without originality, with a little interesting story. The game is based more on its combat that can be sickening.

    Decent game, still holds up today. Finished the game on normal difficulty. Tiamat was pretty annoying, and you cannot change the difficulty midgame. The last boss on the other hand was quite underwhelming. If you are coming thinking it's a hack and slash, be careful because there are a lot of puzzles.

    Correcto, bien. No me voló la cabeza, cosa que a mi cuñado sí. Le vuelve loco.

    Güzel savaş mekanikleri ve aksiyon sahneleri, vasat hikaye ve karakterler.oyunun en büyük sıkıntısı benim için tüm görevler amelelik gibi sürekli 'sana yardım ederim ama şunları bana getircen' den ibaret.

    The game is average. I played all the way through and I feel it is reminiscent of an old style game. I like that part about it but about 80% of the way through I felt tired by the repetition.

    Still oozing with cool. Great game design (shamelessly Frankenstein’d together from other franchises) is timeless. Armageddon board. [February 2016, p77]

    I’m glad we got two wonderful action games out of the Darksiders property, even if that’s all we ever get, and I’m really glad I played them again, because they’re not lost a step.

    Darksiders Warmastered Edition is a fantastic game that maintains all of what made it great in 2010. Its visual upgrades and smoother gameplay experience makes for a fun time at a very reasonable asking price. Maybe this will prompt a sequel? One could only hope. Until then, enjoy the hell out of this one.
