I definitely agree for the longest I've been wanting to play the Metro series and I went and finally bought it and loved it or at least the first two, Metro 2033 and Metro last Light not Exodus so much since it deviates Too Much from the first two and has too many boring ass characters and areas, but yeah I also went and got Devil May Cry 5 it was the first Devil May Cry game I played since the first and I loved it, I bought Resident Evil 2 I haven't had the chance to really play it yet and then I got the Arkham Asylum series and Metal Gear Solid 5 and Ground Zero I haven't had a chance to play them yet but I definitely will, but there are a lot of great older games and if my Playstation 3 hadn't got burned up by lightning I will still be playing OG Demon Souls and OG Dead Space 1&2 and RDR1 .

Maybe I'll catch some flak for this but the N64 Zelda games were fun and respected your intelligence, not always outright giving you the answer and some puzzles were so overly cryptic it had me wondering how any kid beat it back then. Amazing what they could do with what little they had back then. Even the soundtrack is still reminisced today and people still doing covers and remixes that sometimes dont suck. I know commenters here arent Nintendo fanboys but the N64 Zelda series was above the rest of Nintendo products. All the more apparent just how average Tears of the Kingdom is.

Its 2D but its a game that was made for Zelda-veterans that needed more challging a d more logical puzzles than in the Zelda franchise. There was the Landstalker series too that was tied to alundra . Its not a typical story about saving the Princess and defeating an evil dude who wants to rule a kingdom.

Worse parts were that on horizion and FFVII R, I looked up a walkthrough afterward. For Horizon I saw that at the exact time I dropped it, he was in the exact same spot I was at. In FFVII R, compared to the 2 hours I put in, the original game was only at about 40 min. in.

I feel the loot system and weapon upgrade system was a mini game in itself where you try to collect different weapons with different effects and try to get your desired effects onto a possessed weapon making it godlike and your own unique one. You could make different weapons with different ability stacks for different situations. mix and match with different gear types and the possibilities are so vast. Combine all this with the great combat system in this game and it just all fits in so perfectly.

DS2 is a huge nostalgia trip for me. When my brother bought an xbox 360 it was packaged with the console, so I played it through several times. I think some other outlet or reviewer had remarked that its like literally playing a comic book in a way, and yeah thats the vibe I get. In hindsight there is a lot of edge in Death's adventure, but it never really became tedious to me. I guess its because they don't harp too much on death's angst. Guilty over death of Nephilim -> save War, its pretty succinct. Throughout the adventure Death still has some clever jokes and some more upbeat emotional moments for levity.

Once again, your content is really appreciated. It is rare that I'm eager to hear one's standpoint. You mention a point that is very dear to my heart, which is games like Okami that capture the dungeon style of The Legend of Zelda. In fact, to take it a step further, I want to point out that these multi-act adventure games have set a standard in terms of quality. It's reminiscent of a moment in The Fellowship of the Ring movie when, after what seems like a satisfying ending, the story continues to unfold, dragging us along for more hours of captivating content. It is in these extended experiences that I truly appreciate the depth and richness of the adventure. That's why I am definitely disappointed to see modern critics praising games that 'don't measure up' in terms of diversity or fail to deliver the same level of immersive and fulfilling experiences.

I disagree a little bit about the final boss' difficulty, even when Absalom has borrowed power Death is still stronger,the Corruption seeks to destroy yet Death seeks to give life. Death acts out of his love for his brother. This fight is in big contrast to Samael who can be seen as noble and powerful and is a better fight all together. From the other hand,Death beating Absalom can be seen as him accepting his burden as kin slayer and moving on,as seen by him not reaching out for Absalom's hand this time and instead grabbing his scythe. So I agree it should have been harder yet it seems like Death overcomes his sin throughout the game, showing compassion, caring and actually making a couple of friends. I know it sounds cringy but Death actually comes out as a good and balanced person, killing those who deserve it without mercy yet helping those in need, sometimes just from respect as seen from Oran's questline and the Makers. Lovely game indeed

First I want to get out of the way that Teleport Slash also gives you health regeneration and carries with it the additional benefit of being inherent in the ability in contrast to Murder of Crows. Which needs Bless to actually add the health generation. Additionally, Teleport Slash works through percentage damage dealt vs Murder of Crows having a set point amount. Meaning your more likely getting more health off of the former with higher output than the latter.

I remember not liking this game as much as the first when it came out. Death is a little errand boy who always takes no for an answer. Quite a downgrade from his younger "weaker" brother. Also: 3 keys to open 3 doors and fight 3 bosses and bring the mcguffin so the random NPC can give you info. And worst of all: The dawn of RPG mechanics

I hope another equivalent to youtube comes out that isn't so cucked it doesn't allow you to gain traction. I've been watching your videos non-stop for a while, and it's been like a breath of fresh air, hearing someone speak the unfiltered, unadulterated truth. Your channel deserves more views, plain and simple.

Well I'm rewatching this one yet again but based on the views after over two weeks I guess I'm in the minority when it comes to being a fan of your positive videos. It's a real shame we won't be getting more of these since I actually love watching you passionately talk about games you actually love.

Man i want to see this plot simply end, but not a half baked, barely explained ending, i want all of the details and i want it to be a amazing ending despite everything, darksiders is not famous but at least it will die in peace with a ending, thats what i hope to see.

Playing Darksiders 1 for the first time now. It is interesting that a 13-year-old game that was very good but not great, and not terribly original, is STILL far more entertaining than what passes for a triple A release in 2023. I've always been someone who waited for most games to drop in price before buying them. I was used to waiting 6 months-to-a-year to play games that most of my friends played at launch. Still, I never dreamed that I would wait as much as 13 years to play them! I picked up Darksiders 1 and 2 from Epic for ZERO dollars in 2020, and it still took until now to start playing them... given how crappy most modern games are, thank the heaven's for classic games! Your review got me to install them. Thanks! Going to search your past reviews for thoughts on Bayonetta (I only played the first... and at launch too!)

While I disagree with some of the points; like the loot system - it didn't bother me, but I understand your point, it still feels nice to see Darksiders being mentioned today. I played these games when I was like 11, 12, and I do miss them dearly. It feels amazing that we got an announcement recently, and that we may actually see the proper end of the horsemen. Still, enjoyed the video! Nice work

Darksiders Genesis is actually a really solid game. Check it out when it's on sale, its worth playing once or twice.

I always wondered about this series, I had heard of it many times but never played any of the games because I heard the later entries were not great and the style of game kept changing... But after seeing your video this actually got me interested in playing the earlier ones. There's almost nothing new that's interesting to me so I've been looking for older stuff to play, I recently just replayed Dead Rising 1 and 2 which was a ton of fun, I had forgot how great those games were.

I know it's out of left field, but I honestly liked the idea of comparing games' reboot to the old version that (important part) you never played before, sort of like the Battletoads video... Maybe Contra, Castlevania, Double Dragon, Medal of Honor, or Shinobi that come to mind. Or, since you've talked a lot about them here and there, why not do a video about the Dragon Quest Monsters game, since a new one is droppin' this year. Of course you gotta include that commercial that sold you on it as well, @Synthetic Man.

Great review, I bought the first 3 games on GOG after seeing your review of the first game. I'm still working on completing the first one and I'm really enjoying it. I'd definitely like to see a review of the third game.

I recommend checking out Genesis. It may not seem like much at first, but it's very fun and can be played in co-op. So you and Thomas can do it on stream if you want.

The first one is really good, 2nd is a masterpiece to me, 3rd one is good and genesis is actually very good I would recommend it because it is just a darksiders game with a different camera angle and it is also a true co-op game

I like genesis aswell, at first it seems like tomb raider osiris twin stick shooter, but quickly realise its a darksiders game but just a different camera angle, i ended up platinumed it so that was two playthroughs, really loved it 😊
