Darksiders II (Deathinitive Edition) playthrough Part 13 Final
2Beset with bugs, I finally finish the game. I took on the boss once, and decided to nope out of it until I gained another level to be able to use the good scythes. And then was not able to come anywhere near getting the level. Did some side quests, found more treasure, none of it useful. Ultimately, I went back in with what I had and just tried to boss until I figured it out and won.
But it was not without its frustration. Moves that juggle, auto-hit attacks, and a camera glitch that made me not able to see what I was doing if the circumstances are right. The find boss once again leaves a bad taste in my mouth. The fight before, with Samael, was a difficult fight as well, but it was at least fun. Still had those "I can't avoid this" attacks, but there were sections of that fight that redeemed it, such as pulling the arena over to him. This one even copied one of the best parts of that fight, the fake out. Ultimately, it's a let down.
That doesn't make the game bad though. But I never thought the game was stellar. It's ok. It's a time sink. If you like this style of game, if you really need something Zelda-like to pass the time, this will do. But there are so many better alternatives out there. This is just another in the massive pile of 3D hack-n'-slash games with parkour elements that were far too common in this era, and like so many others, this does nothing to stand out. -- Watch live at https://www.twitch.tv/the_nametag
