Darksiders 2 is one of those games that are left out due to mixed or bad reviews. In this video I'm going to tell you why you shouldn't pass the game.
2012 was the year THQ began liquidation and Vigil Games - being part of THQ - had to close in 2013. However, it doesn't take away credit from the phenomenal work that the company did with this game.

This honest review should be helpful for PC, XBOX and PS4 users.

the Darksiders series has got to be one of the most underrated videogame series of all time. Specifically darksiders 2. Sure the game has some jank. Like the pacing and some of the boss fights. But for every bad thing about the game there are 20 more good things.

3 is highly slept on aswell. Its weird how the hardcores diss its differenes, 3 is as different as 2 is from 1, the differences in 2 are vast and its strange how they ignore that. I digress, 3 has more challenge than the others, and all 3 are gems in their own rights. People got so upset that it was more skill based, they had to patch in a mode that allows a person to spam like a noob, that humors me

@@jonathansoko1085 The thing is that even though 2 is very different from the first game, it build upon it. It still feels like Darksiders game with its own identity. structure and storytelling. I understand that the team and budget for the third game were smaller, so I don't mind its lenght and being exclusively on the earth again, but the third game throw a lot of things that gave Darksiders its identity into the bin and made a souls clone for no reason with pretty pathetic story. I felt super engaged in like last 20 or so minutes, where the twist happens and that's it. Compared to previous games there's very little world building and pretty much no story other than 'go and hunt down the sins'. It wouldn't be as bad if the sins added something to the world but they don't. All you get is just pep talk before killing each of them and that's it. And don't get me started on the 'optional bosses' that are just reskinned buffed regular enemies, fuck that. It's nice to see Fury grow and eventually come from despising her to liking her, but that's not enough to carry the experience. And I was always in for Darksiders mainly for its deep lore and rich world building. Third game outright sucks in this regard and I'll always diss it for that. And don't think that I hate the game. I had a blast with its gameplay and I think the steeper diffuculty fits the tone of the series perfectly, so much so that I 100% it and I'm sure I'll come back to it at some point. I just won't comeback to it as often as to other games in the series. Darksiders 3 might not be a bad game, but it's a terrible Darksiders game if you ask me. Anyway after Genesis my hopes for the series are high and I hope we'll get to see The Four together tearing through demons and angels in the near future.

For sure. I am a bit of a weird guy. I can appreciate single player games for the most part, but I don't play them. Overall Devil May Cry and Prince of Persia were the only franchises completed through and through. Otherwise played bunch of singles, but I usually ditch them. Darksiders 2 I downloaded one day out of nowhere and I just played the whole game for 2-3 days or whatever. It was an incredible game with great combat and atmosphere. I even remember a few decently hard puzzles in there. Just the fact I finished it already places is high among my list of top hack & slash games. Haven't even finished Witcher 3 yet.

Don’t let this video sell this game’s story short. Honestly it’s a bit baffling because the story is all there, and it’s pretty amazing. Extremely deep lore - maybe Dude didn’t pay a whole lot of attention but there are plenty of surprises, double crosses, and A-HA moments. I believe there’s even a book series. Anyway the way the first and second game have their lore connected together is one of my favorite things about the series.

I watched all the KZfaq reviews of this game and this is the best one so far. Been playing this game on and off for a month now and I really really love it as long as I don’t overdo it. A few dungeons a week is perfect for me, I do however miss the much better story of darksiders 1. Darksiders 1 also had so much better back stories for the bosses, felt way more epic in a sense. Here I don’t even know why am killing the bosses except for progressing in the game. Also there is a lot of fetch quest within fetch quests. Like get 3 of these but do that you must defeat 3 of those but to defeat those you must gather 3 of something else and I end up just thinking wtf 😰😂

a tip for the cruicible part(i dont remember the exact name) you can easily easily pass the 100 stage with a possessed weapon that has life steal/wrath steal how to get those? i will tell you Case 1 (you have a possessed weapon with place to put in the 2 stats mentioned above): feed it with a weapon that has has life steal/ wrath steal and it will get that from it or go to vulgrim and but "Legacy artifact" and feed it to the possessed weapon it will then give you 2 random stats options, if you didnt get a stat that you want just dont accept it, go the skill page or any other page and then return to the page of the equipment then the process will be cancelled and you can start again, you don't lose anything from doing this, repeat this until you get any stat you want) Case 2 (buy from vulgrim a possessed weapon then repeat as case 1) Case 3 (there is a red talisman that you will get near the end) if you put on this talisman, any normal weapon that drops from monsters will turn into a possessed weapon a tip: if your possessed weapon is now low level like for example lvl 13 and you now are lvl 15, just drop it then pick it up and it will become lvl 15 you literally can finish all the game with side quest and additional campagins using only 1 weapon xD another tip: you now know how to put the stats that you want on your weapon, the 2 other stats i use are execution chance and reaper energy on crit, and you can annihilate the game while using unstoppable and harvest always with infinite health and wrath ^_^

The biggest fall in quality comes with the Earth, but than it picks up with 2 best dungeons (Lost Temple and Black Stone) and great conclusion in the end. Anyway you're first one I saw to delve a bit deeper into the stat system in this game and I really appreciate that, because it's big part of being good in this game. Even though I feel like it's a bit imbalanced towards the later stages of the game, Harbinger builds with emphasis on crit. chance and crit. dmg are outright broken especially if you're lucky enough to get lifesteal on possessed weapons, than it's just cheating :D Great content, you've earned yourself a new sub :)

I have a few comments. 1. That dip in quality near the end was the crunch THQ was putting on Vigil, Lost Light and Shadows Edge was supposed to be bigger in size, like Forgelands or Kingdom of the Dead. So if anyone is to blame, blame the old school THQ, but at the same time bankruptcy was looming over them so I can't be too hard. There are also 3 DLC levels which were released after which look incredible if you haven't played them yet. 2. 1 crash throughout the whole playthrough is pretty good compared to a lot of other games I've played on PS4. Should they strive for better? Of course but I usually look at one crash as a fluke, now if there is a pattern where if I walked in a specific area or do a specific action and it crashes each time, then yeah they weren't paying attention when developing the game. 3. As for the Crucible, I think it jumps in difficulty at certain waves because you unlocked each set of waves after beating certain world. As someone going for platinum trophy I was getting frustrated when I kept dying at the final wave which was a giant difficulty spike. (Until someone told me to change difficulty in options, then I said fuck it). This is a good review otherwise, I'm surprised you didn't mention the wall jumping segment in the City of the Dead where the camera wouldn't follow you and you just had to guess when to stop. Maybe I was the only one experiencing this, I also had a bug with a sidequest where I had to kill these shadow creatures but one of them didn't count and they never respawn once killed so I had to playthrough again to finish sidequests. Sorry for the paragraphs lol.

I‘m just replaying it on PS4 right now. It’s still amazing. And the crashes… you can trigger them and I see why it’s frustrating but it’s very much avoidable. The game crashes for me a 100% of the time if I’m rolling right into a level border (those very short loading sequences between areas) and if I’m rolling plus hitting the menu button right after a boss fight or cutscene. Once I knew and avoided this the game never crashed for me again.

I'm playing this right now and, to be honest, it is painfully mediocre. It's a mashup of Prince of Persia, God of War, diablo, and Zelda, but it's less than the sum of its parts. The combat is repetitive, the loot is a bit of a waste of time, and the overworld is loaded copy paste mobs that don't benefit much. I will agree that the graphical and character design is stellar, though, and the art style has held up incredibly.

The devs really poured their heart and soul into this game, so much so that they went bankrupt. Luckily it gave birth to THQNordic though so, we got Biomutant 😁

What makes ds2 such a good game is because, well, simply put they dont make games like these anymore. It scratches that particular itch which is destined to go unscratched

Darksiders 1 is still peak for me. Darksiders 2 was great if slow. Darksiders 3 was fine but I'm not into the combat or respawning enemies.

The game is good for sure but the the Pc port on Steam has a bad otimization,They promised a big update and it has more than 5 years and nothing. There is a public beta that fixed a big crash but they didn't update it for the main game.

@A Myriad of adventures. I have played this game and finished IT on PS3. Later i bought the PS4 Remastered version of Darksiders 2. Greetz.

so imo Bone storm kinda sucks bad because it's only ever good on lesser enemies since the bigger ones just tanks it and I still get hit in that form and die(i played the game on deathinitive so yeah). Frenzy on the other hand utilizes maximum wrath so the more wrath points more skull and the higher the arcane, arcane crit chance/strike the more it just melts the enemies including bigger enemies and bosses. combine that with wrath steal on scythes and fist weapons and you're the ultimate glass cannon.

I didn't skip on it because I loved the first one and Death in this looks very much like Raziel from Soul Reaver, another one of my favorite series.

Darksiders 2 is a forgotten masterpiece. The amount of epicness in this game is insane. The visual style, character and environment designs, voice acting, story, dialogues and that incredible soundtrack!! It has fantastic atmosphere, it constantly surprises and never looses its grip and it has so many absolutely epic moments. There is just no other game like it. And you play as Death! Its the only game where even such thing as opening a door is epic. Sure its not perfect, but I love this game so much.

Not like Zelda ...? It's totally a Zelda /God of War/Prince of Persia genetic monster child. Can't wait to play it, I am playing part one right now. What's weird is I've had both games for years yet never stayed into it . It's so weird but for some reason I like these ports to handheld better. I'm a weirdo 🤪 Great review man.

I loved loved Darksiders 1 and followed development news for Darksiders 2 very closely. I enjoyed all the puzzles, combat and boss battles. They took a lot of gameplay mechanics from other games like Zelda, Prince of persia and God of War.

DS2 is my top open world because of the time it was made and the work that went into not only the physical attributes, but the amount of weapons and crafting is unbelievable for its time! There's also many, many different bad guys and that in itself is refreshing! I know for a fact if they would make another Dark siders that had the Rpg & openworld with today's tech, I'd rush out in a Blizzard to purchase it! Plus the Nostalgia alone would be worth the purchase in itself.

What I found enjoyable in Darksiders II, especialy after playing the previous game... is how charismatic the characters are! What describes Darksiders I is definitely the word "Statuesque", every character is stoic, serious and focused, but on the sequel, a lot of characters are... chill. Death packs a lot more sass in his words, like this moment he says "and how we are gonna do that?" in that sarcastic questioning voice or when you can't pick up a potion because you're maxed out, his "Impossible" have a slight laughter in it. Hearing those charactes speak is entertaining on it's own because just how unique and charismatic they are. And their voices are also really unique, they don't sound like humans AT ALL, and thats a compliment.

2012 was a dope time got my hands on both Darksiders and Darksiders 2 completing the first then playing the second and much like Mass Effect i imported my save from the first and got my hands on Chaos of War armour set and weapons over powered the weapins give a small chance to deal 200% critical chaos damage cool weapon. Until you get far more superior gear as you progress through man these games are diamonds i hope THQNordic do a 4th (Darksiders Genisis is ok but not Darksiders 4 in my book) the third was fun too playing as Fury the sister of the horseman was a great game and cool to see what happened to humanity and seeing them around on a slowly dying and degraded Earth.
