    I had fun for a good 20 hours hacking, slashing, exploring, and discovering. Then the game started crashing. First playing this game in 2023 makes me very late to this series. I couldn't put down the original Darksiders and once I beat it I immediately picked up Darksiders II. I was enjoying the overall experience, but not as much as the first game.

I made it to Earth, but was feeling like I just wanted to be done and after another crash, I just quit and never picked it back up.… Expand

    Darksiders 2: Deathinitive Edition represents a different but by no means less enjoyable experience than its predecessor. The plot may be very simple but it's competent enough and the game's missions, side quests, plentiful loot and soundtrack all add up to make this an involving and rewarding experience around such a rich, well-crafted effort.

    Darksiders 2 is a good game, and this is a decent port to try if you haven’t managed to try it yet. While it does have its hiccups, the game is ultimately the same game you’ve seen elsewhere for better or worse. Despite how slow the series can take to tell the overarching story, I still look forward to seeing what they do with these characters and with Darksiders Genesis. If you’re picking this game up for the second time let’s face it, you want to see what’s going to happen to.

    For fans of the series the Deathinitive Edition’s arrival on the Switch is the perfect excuse to go back and relive the adventure, it’s as good as you remember. For everyone else there’s never been a better time to embrace Death.
