Looking at the scores this game is getting I feel it is totally underrated for some reason. As a fan of Darksiders series I was not disappointed with it, quite the opposite - I think it is a great continuation of the series and a great game overall. If you haven't played any of the Darksiders' games - it is a third-person slasher roughly based on the art and story of the comics series by the same name. There is going to be a lot of fighting, some environmental puzzles and some RPG elements. It shines best with its art design and the overall mythology of the game universe. I mean, how many games start with the humanity being utterly and mercilessly destroyed? I really like how each installment of the series while having roughly the same gameplay formula adds a distinct flavour to it. In the first Darksiders you play as War - a big tough guy who packs a lot of brute force. In second part you follow the story of Death - a lethal and nimble assassin. In the third part you meet Fury - a renegade who likes to dance on the edge of a knife and delivers the greatest damage as counter-attacks. The difficulty also seems to increase with each game in the series, so prepare to break sweat often while playing this one. Also, this is the first game in the series where you just have to use a gamepad, keyboard + mouse makes this game borderline unplayable. Believe me, as these words are coming from a hardcore PC-only fan who did successfully complete previous games in the series without a gamepad whatsoever. And do remember that evade button is your friend, as it is responsible for both your survival and your greatest weapon (remember - counter-attacks). I must say I have not played any games from the FromSoftware studio (like Demon's Souls, Dark Souls, etc...) so there won't be any meaningless comparisons between those from me. If you are looking for something similar to those, you should probably look elsewhere. Otherwise, it is a great game which packs a lot of fun.
