Please, play it. There is nothing like it and will probably be mimicked enough to start a new genre. Its the epitome of storytelling, one of those truly deep and meaningful experiences words can only diminish. Just know that story, dialogs, voice acting (use quality headphones!), atmosphere and visuals are all unprecedentedly immersive. So please, play it. *Own it on a different client.
World,, story, lore, writing, Dialogs, voice acting, atmosphere, main character goes through a self-development journey, other characters are also rounded and continuously rounding, in and out of character jokes, etc - all amazing and on par with the other installments in the series. A huge story bonus points from me comes from the plots main twist, which was done right as the writers cleverly planted the early signs in a subtle way. Since I'm a spoiler-free kind of gamer, when the twist came my jaw dropped and I rushed to a "full movie" video on youtube (the ones which chains together only cut scenes, in-game character sentences, etc.) only to have my jaw dropped again to see how all was there, subtly integrated into the game. Combat - the game's dominant mechanic - is fun and dynamic, mechanics themselves are very fluid and the character / weapons development part compliments the combat mechanics very well. Its a Darksiders installments, so there is backtracking, but it felt some what lessened then the two previous ones. Highly recommended on its own and a must for Draksiders fans. *Own it on a different client.
Own it on a different client and played co-op. Story, lore, writing, Dialogs, voice acting, atmosphere, rounded and continuously rounding characters, sense of comradery, in and out of character jokes, world, etc - all amazing and on par with the other installments in the series.\ Combat - the game's dominant mechanic - is fun and dynamic, mechanics themselves are very fluid and the character development part is confusing at first but quickly grew up on me.\ In a bit of a contrast to the other Darksiders installments, backtracking is mainly focused in a single level (the main hub) as areas in it are getting more accessible as the special abilities are unlocked throughout the champagne.\ Highly recommended on its own and a must for Draksiders fans.
