Knocking on Death's Door: Darksiders II Review

[Rob Williams]

In the original Darksiders, we assumed the role of one of the four horsemen, War, who's been accused of unleashing the apocalypse on the world. In this second title, we play as his brother, Death, who vows to clear War's good name. Though the stories are shared, Darksiders II proves to be one of the best aRPGs we've ever played.

Read through our look at Darksiders II for the PC and then discuss it here!

It was oh-so-sweet. Felt like the game was made just for me.

Very nice man!

Finally something to take me away from TOR! (for a while )

I didn't know you were still playing ToR, hah. Everyone I know who played from the start took breaks a while ago. And yes, DS II is definitely a good break from things, pretty refreshing game.

Awesome that you are digging the game so much. You going to go the F2P route when it pops up, or stick to the monthly sub?

I am not going F2P, there be restrictions, and I can easily afford to pay the 13$ monthly for the 6 month package! Most importantly, I am getting my pay's worth! I Love it!

Good stuff!

 

[DarkStarr]

LOL, DarkSiders II is AWESOME! I love it. Crazy weird weapons that can eat other weapons etc etc.

 

[Rob Williams]

I admit I haven't even touched the game since the review I've been swamped with other things! And now I gotta dig into Sleeping Dogs and review that!

 

[Doomsday]

I really wish the graphics were a bit better though!

A high res graphic pack would be nice (c:

Though considering the lack of options on the PC, I doubt we will see such a thing. )c:

 

[Rob Williams]

I wouldn't turn down a high-res pack either. It's not so much that the game looks bad, it just lacks that crisp look.

Exactly!
