Darksiders 2 is a great game, if you haven't, you should play Darksiders 1, both are great games, I can't really remember which one I enjoyed more but Death in any media is like oxygen to me, I just need it. Never played the 3rd and 4th ones, but from what I heard, they weren't that great.

I am no my 5 play through right now love this game only game that brings back the want to play games right now

Loved the review! Must say tho, as an Assassin's Creed fan since 2007, thinking of someone only discovering Jesper Kyd so recently and not in AC2 sounds crazy lol

Love this series but ill have to say the favorites in order are DS2, DS3 then DS1, DS2 the pace is awesome then when you get to earth its total chaos . Im replaying it and yes there are some bugs that are annoying but luckily hasn't crashed yet during the Crucible, that would really suck if trying to do all 100 levels in one go and it crashes at 99. Wish they would make a 4th with Strife not that Genesis crap if i wanted to play Diablo i'd play Diablo but the ONLY thing i find weird about this series is Wicked K i feel he's just out of place and does not belong in Darksiders universe. This series is perfect regardless of some flaws, i suggest anyone who disagees then play 2014 Lords of the Fallen then come back to this series you'll know how good this is, LOTF 2014 was garbage in comparsion

Amazing game

Does anyone know of any other modern game that has a weapon system close to the possessed weapon system in this game?

Sorry i know this video is 3 years old but i just want to say i love you voice and voice acting i like you seem to be actually enjoying the game instead of constantly complaining its to slow or to much plot like other lets players you are both funny and soothing i hope you keep going x

If Im not wrong, the music could be from the Makers' realm

Don’t listen to this retard he knows nothing

Has this guy ever played Mario before? What would possibly make this game like Mario? Stfu

Super Mario game? This guy needs to stfu it’s like Zelda. It’s basically Zelda with upgrades and leveling up nothing about it is anything like Mario

happy to own 1&2. I love 2, but sometimes the puzzles did get frustrating (Only towards the end for me) but it is indeed a solid 8 for me. I prefer the first games inclusion of puzzles. I think it had a more fair amount.

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.

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.

I love this game to death!!! I have explored this so much over the years that I know every single location of all collectibles... No what I play I keep returning back to it

Yes, I can name the soundtracks you played. I do listen them from time to time though so its not like I did not heard them since 2012 =) Regarding game reception it was made during the era when plenty of very good games were made, and economy crisis was happening. Plenty of really good games lost money or barely break even back then. Video games take a lot of time and money to make, couple of years after 2012 there was a huge, HUGE drop in games quality. And publishers forced developers to add microtransactions and lootbox casinos everywhere. Not to mention that Darksiders 2 had a lot of issues so it was not like an absolute masterpiece. Combat had many issues. Dungeon crawling gets a bit too repetitive (1-st and especially 2nd worlds are too long). The way plot unfolds is more like "hero on a quest" kind of plot rather than more intensive story one which not everybody liked. And it was very different from Darksiders 1 (which is not the bad thing by its own but pushed many fans of the original game away). I guess you can say that we were spoiled by the "golden age" of video games that was late 2000-th - early 2010th.

Don't forget how everything is a beautiful open world with amazing places

This is one of the best games ever made

it's the guardian ost XD

12:50 The Guardian . Another amazing one is Corruption ,especially the second part you hear outside the Tree of Life .

Just finished, it was much fun

Thanks for letting me know, I'll give it a try

Just as a note, Darksiders 2's metascore is actually way higher than 72. 72 is the score of the latest "remake", which is criticised for not fixing any bugs and making some things worse. Darksiders 2 is an amazing game and it is one of my favourites. I keep saying in my friend groups every time I have the chance, but the new god of war series have so much inspiration from this game which no one admits.

My favorite part of the game was when you got to lvl 18 or something, a vendor would sell a weapon with health on damage perk which you can only once and put it onto a possessed weapon.

Bro u forgot the possessed wepon glich that all fans love The music - the Guardian in forge lands In a way death is the cause for corruption having a champion

If it's brown flush it down

OK seriously, why every review of this game skips the additional campaigns?

Ahahaha never mentioned soul arbiter s maze

You are totally correct with the "youtube criticism". Nice to watch this review.

I'm still playing Darksiders 2 as of today. I wish that they could do a remake of the game ( or at least a remaster ) . I love everything : the characters, the artistic direction, the interconnected open world, the gameplay. Plus at 9:25, do that golden environnement ( Lostlight ) reminds you of something ? For sure, in that unknown game dropped in 2022, there's that location called Leyndell, very similar.

I love the crucible, but I also usually does it after finishing the story

Lemme guess the music you were talking about. The Guardian Boss fight?

Dark Siders two was very good, but the game is empty, and when you are trying to sell a game to a billion people it cant be empty

The bugs ruin the game selling it

Favorite game of all time. Been telling my friends since it came out, and nobody cared :[

Darksiders 2 is actually on the list of highest budget games with a budget of 50 million dollars. Now, that includes marketing, but it's still on the list.

DS 2 really good.

The soundtrack is just OMG And that song is from the colossus boss

Same, I wanted to play it as a kid and I remember I got dark souls instead and was pissed

This game is a *Masterpiece*

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.

How the heck is someone so in-depth, fair and honest when it comes to review such a masterpiece, only has 700 subscribers? Dude you deserve more! I actually enjoyed your game review. I usually stop watching/listening to reviews when I reach half of it because I thought of something more fun to do. Great work on your vocabulary, you made me stay tuned! I wish you good luck on your KZfaq channel and in real life.

Darksiders II is way better than Darksiders III And also my favourite game ever

🤣

12:44 obviously i know, the Guardian boss fight is just that good and i also did the same as you, just roamed around it on a horse.

Got this free on Prime a while back but wasn't sure if it was worth downloading. Very well made/organized vid, you sold me on it. Thanks!

Guys its literally ' A Game made by Gamers for Gamers ', I wish we had other game like this! Just compare Prince of Persia : Warrior Within to this one , And then u have Darksiders 3.......curses......and so on. Then moved on with Batman : Arkham Collection but still craved for that hack n slash open world. Oh i started Witcher 3 and lost interest IDK why, maybe still want a character like Prince or Death. Darksider2 is Criminally underrated game, they should make games like this one maybe continue on Story of Horsemen of the Apocalypse.

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 😁

Most accurate review! The Portal gun abilities and the lazy skill tree design is pretty disappoint for a 10/10 like this.

Darksiders 2 has a an unobtainable platinum trophy on PS3 just so you know due to server closures.
