    Fun stuff

    For the most part this game is pretty great. It takes a further step into feeling like an rpg compared to the first one. You constantly pick up armor, weapons, and accessories for your character. The game starts off like it will be really long because there are 4 areas to go through and the first one is pretty much just as big as the first game but as you get further each area starts to get smaller and smaller. The puzzles in the game are relatively fun but eventually they become really repetitive and you just want to kill shit. All in all it is worth buying but don't expect much of a challenge and don't expect it to take up lots of your time like Skyrim or any other rpg would

      The original Darksiders was a game that was relatively underrated by both critics and gamers alike, and at the same time, criticized for being a "rip-off" of multiple major franchises such as the Legend of Zelda and God of War. Yet, I liked to see it for what it did correctly. Instead of blatantly ripping off such popular games, Vigil Games instead chose to brilliantly craft certain ideals from those games and blend them together with an extremely engaging story to create a new IP well deserving...
