The Darkness II stands out as a worthy sequel, offering a blend of action, storytelling, and supernatural elements that captivate players from start to finish.

The greatest game I have ever played in ma entire life. 2 years after realease I was 14 when I did ma 2 walkthrought's they have made me cry. Like a baby.
This is the game which I have payed then the full price on steam to be ma own favourite. I wanted review this total masterpiece but I wanted to do it as an adult and here I am.
Still the same feelings much better performence throughout all those years. And still Imma loving it! <3
Quickly Im gonna say that even coop has it's place not in ma heart but in ma mind to be remembered as good as a left 4 dead games by example.

And now we move on the whole story made me cry when I secondly move to watch the whole playthrough of the first one cuz it is only on consoles. ♥♥♥ me man! Horrifying, depressed, emo, metalhead, furious, even more classic and demonic with death metal/ deathcore voice. Different perspective of those special levels (not gonna spoil you anything ). It was more open and classic as I said but naahhhh this one's even more demonic :P brutal, vengeful a lot more and beautiful at it's finest superior suffering ;(((((. <3

So you're starting with some badass climatic monologue after those cinematics with Johnny telling you what was going one back in the days. And u are already curious, motivated and surprisingly happy about the climate in the restaurant, then ehmmm let's say it didn't go well.
We realeses the darkness and maaaan at first look I was like ♥♥♥ me it's sooo fabulous, horrific, terrific powerful and vengeful and u don't know why us, why there, why like that.
After a couple of seconds the game teaches you how to impaled someone with some city lamp over someone chest then it teaches you how to maneuver the enemy with those tentacles and then u'll get your first execution. ♥♥♥ me those are more brutal than the whole Bulletstorm game gonna tell you wow!
The music is not building a brutalize feeling it don't make us wants to murder more :P I'm serieous the music is as beaty as those bloody finishers but ofc not in the same way. Their screams only make us do more of that mess to em. But is not a disadvantage. Actually there's only a few bugs in the game but for me and for most of you it doesn't matter at the full rate of the game. Soo gonna quickly tell you there's none <3.

The characters are made amazing. Digital Extremes or 2k boys put an awesome job to do so to our aunt our boys Jimmy and Vinnie and those lovely nice guys Frank and Eddie I espacially love them <3.
The climate is different by the way is not as depressed and dark as first one but at the same time we feel drama a thriller and some terrifying action movie of some vengeful Rambo so yeah I do like it muuuah :* I'm loving it!
There's dual wielding thing which make us aim down sight after some 2 shots we can't aim we can fire one gun or fire two gun's at the same time. It's nice thought I was doing some combos at the beggining with that ingram, mac, uzi staff and colt. Shooting em in chests with colt or uzi them headshooted em with the other.
Yeah bloody like it!
Shotguns are an art and rifles are the most deadful expacially m16 <3333.
Talking about killing u can throw someone into the air on the wall throw on him some nitrogen canister and it's blowing already then. You can even grab someone and before executing him shoot the other wiseguy. <3

There's some darkling guy. Yeah he's called darkling he's helping you fighting them and u can throw him at someone to get the kill <3.
Talking less about murder let's talk about AI they are hiding very safety and for me AI is as awesome as in first f.e.a.r so you know what I mean <3.

So why am I loving the darkness that much?
It's brutal, fabulous, beauty at it's finest, dramatic, so intense ,curious and for me most atmosphering game I have ever, EVER played <3.
And not only because of that but because there's only a little few bugs and none iritating moments I just quickly in ma mind was telling myself this is the most beautiful game on every aspect of games and life that deserves a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ 6 more titles at least 3. But there's still none :((((((((((((

The main character is not only a badass and tough but he's so nice to his mafia people. He doesn't yield at them they are loving him and he love them that's all that matters <3.
The most beautiful thing is that jackie always goes after his men not only before them upfront lonely but after them when they are in trouble so ♥♥♥♥♥♥ lovely <3 He would go to hell throught to hell for someone he love! And he actually did <3

True ending cuz there's 2 options is soo dramatic, terrifying and sad for ♥♥♥ sake sooo ♥♥♥♥♥♥ sad that have made most people cry there. It ♥♥♥♥♥♥ deserves to be continue to fought that ♥♥♥♥♥♥ Angelus!

Dear note pls! Dear 2K, digital or starbreeze or even machine games cuz they created a fabulous wolfenstein same voice actor as Jackie was Blazkowicz so for sweet prays to God pls!
Give us a Darkness III and do not make it a trilogy we want ♥♥♥♥♥♥ more!
I want same project as two games. You can make different executions not only by tentacles but with shooty shotgun m16 and even more.
I have an amazing idea. You can put a grenades in game and make some skill to eat it and throw it on enemies! This would be ♥♥♥♥♥♥ awesome! Maybe some tentacles and weapons executions at the same time for example lets butcher some arm and shoot the chest then immediately kick enemy in the face to knock him out and then he's ofc dead by bleed out.

I would talk about this game for hours for every script killing montage how awesome it was for every story sentence for every step into linear so even that :P of the level just how beaty it is.
The motivation, Jackie, his gf that I have not mention there just to not spoil you. Weapons, the sound, music and all I have spit it out there.
Just ♥♥♥♥♥♥ pls make us another The Darkness I want a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ happy ending fo them. I love the suffering but man pls just let us free her and comeback to earth again and put some more cultists whatever just ahhhhh you all know what to do.

And espacially Ty all the people that have made up this game. I am here year by year playing this game and there's still the same feelings. The best game ever. Kisses :******

My rating: 10/10

Graphics aged surprisingly well for a game from 12 years ago but the gameplay is repetitive and slow for a game that pretends to be fast paced. Also the story is... meh...
