Darksiders Review

Hi, my name is Nik and today i am reviewing:

Darksiders is a action-adventure similar to God of War and Devil May Cry. 

You play as War, one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. War was tricked in to braking the law, of the Charred Council and for that his powers are taken away. So now he is seeking revenge.

But the Council don't let you go free, they send The Watcher with you. He is to help you, if need be and to insure your loyalty to the Council.

When i first started playing Darksiders, i was not impressed. The enemies where weak, the combos where really easy to do and it was generally boring. But after the first hour, or so, when i got new combos, new weapons, when the enemies got stronger, i really started to enjoy it. 

No matter what you do the gameplay is very fluid, your combos link nicely together, with no lag, or any other problems. 

Graphicly the game is beautiful, with interesting enemy models and good environment design.

The PC port is fairly good and the game is equally enjoyable on keyboard + mouse and a controller. 

But the game has some big problems. First too many puzzles and they are not good, it feels like they put them, just to make the game longer, but it gets very frustrating at times. And even worst are the water puzzles, because swimming is very, very boring.

To top it all of Darksiders is a very enjoyable action-adventure, with solid combat and a interesting story. But it doesn't know its strengths, so there are too many bad puzzles.

I hope you liked my review of Darksiders.

 If you did, please, comment and share with your friends.

  Have a nice day.

The Walking Dead Episode 2 Review

Hi, my name is Nik and today i am reviewing:

The Walking Dead is a game based on non critical characters from the graphic novel. 

Episode 2 starts three mounts after the first one. The survivors have made themselves comfortable in the old motel. They have build a wall and feel relatively safe. But there is a big problem - food shortage and hunger has made everyone very nervous. You, as Lee, are in the middle of this and you have to make the difficult choices, that will keep the group alive. 

The gameplay is mostly the same as the first one. In conversations you have limited time to decide what to say, to pick a side, or you can just stay silent. When the characters is doing some physical action, you have a very simple quick time event. The its very similar to games like Heavy Rain and Fahrenheit. 

The impressive thing about The Walking Dead is the story. The game gives you a false sense of security and you can never see what will come next. 

The best thing is that you make your own story, by picking sides and deciding what to do. But its not black and white, like Mass Effect. All choices are shades of gray and there is not a clear divide between "good" and "bad". This gives the series very good replay value.

I really don't want to talk about problems, but there is a big one that worries me. Since English is not my native language, sometimes i don't have enough time to read all of the choices. So consider this, if you cant read fast, or take it as a challenge and improve your reading. 

So to top it all of, The Walking Dead Episode 2 is a very good continuation of the serious and i strongly recommend it to fans of RPG's or the TV show. 

I hope you liked my review of The Walking Dead Episode 2.

 If you did, please, comment and share with your friends.

  Have a nice day.
