At 24 hours game time (about 30 real life) the game is completed with 1 playthrough and 1000 points.

1. The best and by far the fastest way to go back and collect everything that remains is to start at the Crossroads and just follow the normal progression of the game.
2. Elastic band helped a LOT for the horse riding... while I was watching Futurama :) Make sure to tap some buttons every 10 minutes or so or the controller will fall asleep.
3. Once you get the armour and max out your Stone Skin spell, you're basically an invincible tank. Armour leeches health YAY.
4. The sword is SOO much fun to fight with... it is truly a pity that i had to use the Scythe and the Gauntlet throughout the ENTIRE game to avoid grinding at the end. And even with that my Scythe was short half a level... and I had to go back to the graveyard to hunt for witches.
5. I liked the ending... nice open ended story. Got me excited for Darksiders II.
   
6. Overall the game is pretty good. I just wish it were a few hours shorter and with more scripted scenes.

8.5/10
