I’m jealous of all the praises.

Awesome review for equally awesome game! Only a few hours in but loving the combat and the loot. The bosses on the other hand have been kicking my rear,which isnt a bad thing! The musical score is really good in my opinion and Death is a funny guy indeed! Anybody playing Darksiders 2..shoot me your psn id so that I can share some loot with ya!!

I was fine with the music, thought it fitted the tale-like structure of the game. It’s like a more mature tale. I still wish Majora’s Mask was remade with today’s technology though, for me, that game changed the whole gaming landscape. And thanks for the kind words, Joshua!

sadly havent had much of a chance to play this ive been trying to finish sleeping dogs first.
but from what ive played its exactly what i was worried about.
darksiders was such a awesome game simply because its combat system was so different!
the slow heavy gameplay was what made it so successful, and they just went and removed it!
sigh.
ive said it once, twice, a million times and ill say it again.
why when developers are doing a sequel must they remove the best parts of its predecessor?
everyone in this industry has suddenly come down with sever insomniacites!
just because insomniac has done that with every one of their games, does not mean all of a sudden every developer has to follow suit!

I like the art style and feel of the game. The only thing that throws me off sometimes is the music. The fantasy music makes me laugh sometimes. I feel like I was playing WOW or something. Lol. I never really played the first game. I rented it and played it for a few hours and wanted to buy it but never got around to it. I can tell though that this game is a big step forward. I have had a lot of fun with this game and it is such a breathe of fresh air in a gaming market that is starting to stale. It is just an overall fun gaming experience. Great review by the way.

Yeah, Death is a good, funny character. He has that confidence, and you can’t doubt him, he’s the damn Death himself!

I was pleasantly surprised, too. I was expecting something darker, and apocalyptic, but I had some hope we’d move away from that since the first game focused on those. It would be pointless to have them here, too. Overall, in my opinion, it’s one of the most improved sequels, ever!

It is a great game so far. I like the rpg and looting elements. It is nice to see an open world type hack n slash game. I was a bit surprised by the environments and art. I was expecting something darker since you play as Death, but it is okay. I like Deaths attitude. My favorite line so far is when he says “hahaha…what makes you think I have a soul”. I don’t know why I like that line so much; it might just be the context in which he said it. It is a fun game so far, but the puzzle elements are getting a little repetitive and there are a few areas where I just ask myself, why did they put that in there? It is pointless. Other than that, it is a great game.
