Darksiders Review
People may hear that I tend to dig the sequel to games more than the original. I have to say after beating Darksiders this game is better but not completely. Darksiders 2 doesn't have a story to it really it is way more gameplay based. Darksiders start out with story and the becomes very focused on gameplay and the last third of the game ends with a fucking bang. I dug the ever living shit out of this game. I hear how people compare it to Zelda and I can see that but I honestly think this is like a more grown up, less buggier version of Zelda. I'm not trying to pick a fight with Zelda fans I haven't played a Zelda since the Gamecube so maybe they fixed the gameplay problems. Darksiders isn't without sin, it has it's problems, mostly dealing with the lock on mechanics, and the fact they give you a gun that is so fucking worthless I wonder why they even chose to give it to me. Darksiders is about War (the horseman of the apocalypse) being framed for destroying humanity and him basically killing every demon to clear his name. It is a simple revenge story but done so, so well. The game is in a nutshell a adventure hack n slash game, you get to fight extremely big demons and do puzzles; it is all done extremely well. I'll admit I wasn't patient enough with some of the puzzles that I did look them up but that is because I am a lazy gamer I won't lie. This game has the perfect amount of challenge to it where if you fuck up you will die but if you pay attention and be on your toes you will be a bad ass mother fucker. The game has a fantastic ending and Mark Hamill and this asshole demon constantly tormenting you is like the cherry on top. I will say the game isn't as story filled as I might lead you to believe there is a large amount of no talking at all but that is filled with just fun gameplay of killing demon scum. I would recommend this to most everyone this game has the right mixture of open world and keeping you on a linear path. It has some annoying fights but I can't dog on it for my lack of skill. I have to give this a 5 out of 5.
