Eh, it's ok if you didn't get the reference. If curious, check out Piers Anthony and his books. Anywho, on with the game review. Darksiders is a really fun game for those who like paranormal stuff and all of that. A lot of interesting visuals and good gameplay, it is a hard game to pass up when on sale, as it is now for $4 which is a steal for all that you get for a few dollars. Hours of enjoyment roughing up denizens of the dark to get vengeance as well as clear his name.

Darksiders was incredibly good game, a perfect mix of Legend of Zelda puzzles, platforming sections straight from excellent Prince of Persia games and reliable and responsive fighting system just like in God of War. Explosive concoction that actually works. And as a cherry on this incredible sundae is art direction envisioned by Joe Madureira, creator (writer and penciler) of Battle Chasers. Soundtrack is also great and gameplay really works. Only thing bad in this game is backtracking in the end, other than that it's great. Remastered could've used some polish, because there are some problems, but it's not as bad as some recent games are. If you never played Darksiders, you definitely must pick this up, especially if you love the games I previously mentioned, because it is a perfect mix of those franchises, with nice story to top it off.

This game combines the dungeon exploration mechanics of Zelda (where you must find the weapon/ability that is required to solve the puzzles in said dungeon) with the combat system of God of War. Given that both are popular franchises, it seems like a good idea on paper. Since neither of those two franchises are available on Steam, Darksiders is the best available alternative for those that do not own any consoles. However, playing Darksiders simply made me compare it with the games in those two franchises and how they did everything better. To make things worse, the original aspects of Darksiders are mediocre at best in my opinion. I would recommend it only to those that has never played a Zelda or God of War game before.

I will say it right away, graphic fidelity in these titles is not all that great. But graphic style and aesthetics? breathtaking! The combat is very fun, with elements of hack and slash but also a lot of skill involved. The boss fights are very satisfying and not routine. The second instalment has much better boss fights but these are very challenging themselves. progression is also great and it will take you a long time to find all of the collectibles. It is however worth your time because each collectable adds another benefit for your character such as life steal or increased damage. I found the life steal to be useful later down the line where things got tough Great graphical aesthetics, very satisfying combat, interesting story line, very long campaign, and a great price will make this a very good buy, especially on a hefty sale!

Este juego es la hostia.Sin mas. Si te gustan los juegos del estill God of War este es perfecto. Lo jugu? en ps3 y no pude evitar querer rejugarlo en el pc y la verdad es que sigo disfrutando de este juego como una ni?a con un juguete, uno de mis favoritos sin duda. En cuesti?n de graficos mi pc es un portatil con una gtx 720 m y no he tenido problemas con el juego en ningun momento. No es que pueda jugar con graficazos pero con este si. Por ultimo lo unico con lo que he tenido problema al principio es con una estabilidad mala de un par de cinematicas y el audio que parece ser que siempre ha pasado en alg?n momento, por lo dem?s genial
