While the first game tackled the journey of the Horseman War, this time around you’ll be taking control of his “brother” Death. Though there’s quite a lot that feels familiar about this new Darksiders outing I’ll give credit for the nuanced differences in the core combat and traversal mechanics that give your character a different sort of heft and movement that keeps the game from seeming too redundant. As before this is a game focused on epic battles, cranking up your combo meter, searching every nook and cranny for hidden goodies, and generally having a good time throughout. Though it isn’t by any means a “new” game it looks and performs great on the system and serves up plenty of satisfying action for the price tag.
