Hi, my name is Nik and today i am reviewing:
Darksiders 2 is a spectacle fighter with RPG elements.
The game starts, where the first one left of. War is imprisoned, by the Charred Council, for starting the Apocalypse early and distorting the balance. Death is convinced that his brother, War, is innocent and he wants to free him. So Death makes a deal with the council, that they will free War, if he can resurrect the human race. Kind of ironic, don't you think. Death bringing life back.
Obviously, in Darksiders II you play Death, instead of War. The new character bring a lot of changes to the game. Death is much more agile and athletic then his brother. So the Angel of Death can do acrobatic tricks, like wall running.
But the biggest chance has his weapon. Death uses two scythes, that can be joined in to a double edged scythe.
This makes the combat very unique, because some of the combos use the two faster and smaller weapons and some use the slower single scythe. The chance between the two is very fluid and barely noticeable.
You also have a secondary weapon, that can be an axe, hammer, or anything you find in the world. The secondary weapon adds new combos and more varied combat.
Compared to the first game, the combat is much faster, much smoother and much more enjoyable.
And that is the entire theme of Darksiders II, its has improved. The puzzles are much better design, the acrobatic sections are more intuitive and the water sections are less disorientating. So you get less tings between you and fighting. However the game still has too many puzzles and stupid delays, that will annoy you.
The game also features some RPG-like elements. The vast open world is actually enjoyable to explore on horse back. In it you will find a lot of good side quests, that have some context and purpose.
And the best addition of all - the item system. You can change weapons and armor, if you find better once. Some items can even be upgraded, if you sacrifice the trash you find along the way.
But the system is not without problems. Sometimes its hard to compare two items, because the stats are not explained well.
The one big problem that i have with the game, is that its two easy, nothing can kill you. Even the bosses cant kill you. And the worst part is that on max difficulty, its still too easy.
To top it all of, Darksiders II is a grate game, with improved graphics, better level design and excellent gameplay.
I hope you liked my review of Darksiders II.
