VERDICT:
Darksiders II are like a bunch of apples.... take a bite out of one and YUM, take a bite out of another and it's sour as ♥♥♥♥. I ran into so many bugs that I had to put the game down just so I didn't yeet the game from my steam library, this shouldn't be happening for a game like this and the devs should have patched these kind of bugs up a long time ago and given how long the game has been out for, I doubt they'll be fixing them.

Aside from that, that game is pretty good, gameplay is where it's at, since you can do combo moves with your attacks, such as using various weapons/abilities to suite your style of play. Would I say it's better than the prequel? Nope... definitely not, the only thing I preferred would be the wall running but even War could do some of that.
Total Score = 59/100.

SIMILAR GAME LIKE THIS? / REVIEWER PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE:
