Darksiders (2010) (PC) (Vigil Games)
0I thought I'd at least upload one "proper" Darksiders video after all those grainy and laggy Twitch clips, so here it is. This is by no means a bad game (nor an especially unforgiving one), but since I don't care for the Zelda-esque structure of curiously restricted exploration and puzzle solving I found the occasionally demanding boss fights and logic-based challenges to be extremely tedious. Again, this is mostly a reflection of my own preferences, but it can't help having colored my experience of Darksiders in a decidedly negative manner. I really hope the sequel (which isn't released in my territory until next week) includes a more smooth and rewarding combat system as well as more unpredictable, free-form exploration than this first game in the series.
