    Worst game I ever played period

    Input lag of at least 1/4 of a second and inputs often just dont register Cannot skip any of the very bland and cliche cut scenes Ugly menu, looks like some jpgs just put on an ugly background And yes I know it's old but can they not just put a little amount of work in this port to cover some stupid inconveniences? Only good thing are the puzzles.    Worst game I ever played period

    Only good thing are the puzzles. Just play a Zelda game if you want that and infinitely more fun    … Expand

    All in all, Darksiders: Warmastered Edition is a great port of a good game. While it's not necessarily innovative, it is well executed and uniquely presented, something that still holds up well after almost 10 years since its original release. Not everything in the title has aged well, but it still plays and works as well as intended. The only letdown is the price tag of $30 when the Warmastered Edition arrived for $20 on all other platforms almost three years ago. In any case, Darksiders: Warmastered Edition is a great game that's worth experiencing for the first time — or once again on the Switch.

    An excellent port of a beloved game that doesn’t feel like its age caught up with it. The Switch is a perfect home for this franchise and here’s hoping that Darksiders 2 will be ported as well.

    Anyone who wants a quality Zelda-style action adventure game on their Switch is going to be better off with Okami HD. Darksiders: Warmastered Edition is a polished and shiny bronze medal. Fighting monsters is as standard can be, and what keeps things stimulating is the variety of the environment, puzzle solving, spectacle, and the exploration to be had. It is satisfying to stumble on a hidden chest and find some upgrade that War could use as it is in most adventures. Often entertaining but not exactly emotionally engaging, Darksiders takes itself too seriously.
