Black Throne

[Redrick]

Well I was loving the game up to this point. The pacing and balance was fine, good mix of puzzle, story & action then ^ this level happened. Completely ruined the balance.

Never needed help up to this point, but now even with a walkthrough I'm still making little mistakes on exactly how to solve all these BS portal puzzles, this is worse than Portal 2. I cant believe somebody somewhere thought this level of puzzle solving would be a good idea in an "Action Adventure" game.

I only have 1 question, does Darksiders 2 have any puzzles on the same par as the black throne ?
edit: grammar

I see i'm not the only one who felt the same way
Game as a perfect balance of everything until this dungeon and it truly tested my patience
I get it's the final dungeon(I think, haven't beaten the game) but still it's definitively a spike in difficulty in terms of puzzles.

I felt it was the opposite. Black Throne was the worst area in the game for me, not because the puzzles were difficult, but because there were just so many of them and it felt like the game was deliberately dragging the whole area out to last far longer than it should've.

I've changed my mind. I am doing a complete 180. I now consider Darksiders 1 a classic. Why ?

I just played Darksiders 2. Wow.. what an epic pile of garbage, compared side by side I now have nothing but good things to say about *this* game.

Noooo.. I was actually looking forward to ds2.

Im almost at the end of ds1 myself, and Im looking at the guides as this level was giving me nausea and some permanent brain damage.. if ds2 is worse then rip this series for me.

I migght skip 2 if its bad as u say.. and jump straight to 3 but will see

i never understood the complaints about black throne. they are so straightforward. the pacing never stops you just throw a portal on the first portal target and then throw a portal on the next one you see. no higher thinking is ever required. even the weights puzzle. just portal everything in the order you see it and just like that you have solved the weights puzzle. the only things that require a bit of thought are the backtracking or side collectable portal puzzles and im sure everyone is fine with optional puzzles ranging in difficulty. idk the pacing never slowed down for me personally.
