I Can't Believe I Skipped On This Game - Darksiders 2 Review

[@crapwithanopinion2919]

the Darksiders series has got to be one of the most underrated videogame series of all time. Specifically darksiders 2. Sure the game has some jank. Like the pacing and some of the boss fights. But for every bad thing about the game there are 20 more good things.

[@jonathansoko1085]

3 is highly slept on aswell. Its weird how the hardcores diss its differenes, 3 is as different as 2 is from 1, the differences in 2 are vast and its strange how they ignore that. I digress, 3 has more challenge than the others, and all 3 are gems in their own rights. People got so upset that it was more skill based, they had to patch in a mode that allows a person to spam like a noob, that humors me

[@godofdeath8785]

Yeah true Darksiders underrated videogame series

[@simla5]

@@jonathansoko1085 The thing is that even though 2 is very different from the first game, it build upon it. It still feels like Darksiders game with its own identity. structure and storytelling. I understand that the team and budget for the third game were smaller, so I don't mind its lenght and being exclusively on the earth again, but the third game throw a lot of things that gave Darksiders its identity into the bin and made a souls clone for no reason with pretty pathetic story. I felt super engaged in like last 20 or so minutes, where the twist happens and that's it. Compared to previous games there's very little world building and pretty much no story other than 'go and hunt down the sins'. It wouldn't be as bad if the sins added something to the world but they don't. All you get is just pep talk before killing each of them and that's it. And don't get me started on the 'optional bosses' that are just reskinned buffed regular enemies, fuck that. It's nice to see Fury grow and eventually come from despising her to liking her, but that's not enough to carry the experience. And I was always in for Darksiders mainly for its deep lore and rich world building. Third game outright sucks in this regard and I'll always diss it for that. And don't think that I hate the game. I had a blast with its gameplay and I think the steeper diffuculty fits the tone of the series perfectly, so much so that I 100% it and I'm sure I'll come back to it at some point. I just won't comeback to it as often as to other games in the series. Darksiders 3 might not be a bad game, but it's a terrible Darksiders game if you ask me. Anyway after Genesis my hopes for the series are high and I hope we'll get to see The Four together tearing through demons and angels in the near future.

[@TheSLashera]

For sure. I am a bit of a weird guy. I can appreciate single player games for the most part, but I don't play them. Overall Devil May Cry and Prince of Persia were the only franchises completed through and through. Otherwise played bunch of singles, but I usually ditch them. Darksiders 2 I downloaded one day out of nowhere and I just played the whole game for 2-3 days or whatever. It was an incredible game with great combat and atmosphere. I even remember a few decently hard puzzles in there. Just the fact I finished it already places is high among my list of top hack & slash games. Haven't even finished Witcher 3 yet.

[@darkange911]

these are truly beautiful games, they're just so full of style and soul, it's unreal. all of them

[@kylejacobsmusic]

Quite possibly THE most underrated video game of all time

[@bigdaddysbaked]

I heard Farcry 2 was super underrated, so I got it on steam. And it's not even that good, the story is very bland and obviously the graphics are super outdated I wanted to see if I could download a retexture mod for it. But I'm about to get Darksiders II for the PS3 I just got, maybe I'll get it for PC instead for the graphics. Really got the PS3 for Red Dead

[@OneFlockOneShepherd]

@@bigdaddysbaked people say Far Cry 2 is the goat to look cool. It's a frustrating game with poor stealth and awful hit detection. It's enjoyable from time to time but I can never play long enough to finish a playthrough.

[@1Reaper1]

Love this game. Apart from some rough edges like a poorly made remaster for PS4, lacking some patches, lacking a bit of extra story line. Combat is great, cosmetic design of equipment is amazing, environment is amazing. Very enjoyable and challenging.

[@amyriadofadventures4085]

I played it only on the ps4, so can't really tell. Game crashed once, but apart from that everything was fine.

[@1Reaper1]

@@amyriadofadventures4085 ran a lot smoother, less crashes. Especially the slim PS4, it crashes in heavy combat and in other areas quite a lot. Ive never gotten a clean run from 1-100 in the crucible on a ps4

[@lgd6619]

I played it on ps4 and have had very little issues at all its certainly vastly more stable than most modern titles, I think you may just be one of the unlucky few because I have had several ps4s and its been consistent across all of them

[@1Reaper1]

@@lgd6619 perhaps. I still had my issues with the newer model PS4, but nothing compared to the first generation Ps4. I couldn’t get passed roughly level 60 in the crucible without crashing several times. I still loved the game immensely.

[@lgd6619]

@@1Reaper1 Sorry to hear that buddy, but yeah no doubt this game is special and criminally underrated the opening sequence still gives me goosebumps to this day

[@NightRogue77]

Don’t let this video sell this game’s story short. Honestly it’s a bit baffling because the story is all there, and it’s pretty amazing. Extremely deep lore - maybe Dude didn’t pay a whole lot of attention but there are plenty of surprises, double crosses, and A-HA moments. I believe there’s even a book series. Anyway the way the first and second game have their lore connected together is one of my favorite things about the series.

[@titeufuchiha7360]

yes. thank you this guy is an idiot the story is awsome its nothing like mario

[@pokeczarelf]

Darksiders 2, my favorite out of the Darksiders franchise. The pacing is good, the combat is great and Death is badass, arguably the strongest horseman out of the 4 horsemen of the apocalypse.

[@godofdeath8785]

Same I prefer Darksiders 2 over Darksiders and Darksiders 3 though I love them too

[@IKARIANOFFICIAL]

@@godofdeath8785 - I was thinking to get Darksiders 3 as I haven't played it yet. Is it as bad as some reviews make it out to be? I know the reviews complained about bad camera angles that messed things up quite a bit.

[@Xemozazk]

The combat is far from great.

[@arthurperalta104]

@@IKARIANOFFICIAL I know I’m a little late to this conversation but I would say the combat in dark cider three does take a hour or two to get used to but once you do the game is fluid and fun but it does have a different feel to it compared to the speed of numbers one and two I enjoyed my time with Darksiders three and I would recommend it to any Darksiders fan if you do play it learn the Dodge timings

the biggest negative thing of this game are the 30 fps , that just sucks for a "remasteted" or " definitive edition"

[@bodnachuk877]

Also, Death get more annoyed as the game goes on and thats something I appreciated

[@getterzth6957]

Death is actually player when NPCS gave us a quest

[@Manganization]

The gameplay itself is fine. It's the fact that it runs like shit is the problem. I would always highly recommend this game. It's a fully focused Zelda game that doesn't waste your time. Even the sidequests are designed so you can get them out of the way while you're doing the main quests.

[@Lexors]

This game is a *Masterpiece*

[@Hynotama]

"The story is the 'save the princess' type of affair." Imagine War in princess Peach's dress and tiara. Oh and the music you mentioned was either The Guardian or Stains of Heresy.

[@Necrophadez]

Well, War is also clearing his own name, saving himself and breaking the seals to summon his brothers and sister to his aid upon the Shattered Earth in DS1.

[@merritt2014]

Darksiders 1 is more like classic Zelda than this game. This game sort of feels more like a typical western action RPG while Darksiders 1 actually had more labyrinthian, themed dungeons like Zelda where you constantly get new specific tools to get through each dungeon's gimmick.

[@reeanimationgaming1034]

I did the same mistake.. I played and loved Darksiders 1. But skipped 2, because... I don't know why. Now I want to play it, and complete it. Death is a great character and the combat is freaking awesome! I feel the same way about Mad Max. got avarage reviews, nobody played it, but I absolutely loved every minute of it

Advice to All players of this game - this is arcade style game. You go level by level and beat the crap out of anything in your way. This is why I love this game. This is NOT AC world game. Open world is just to get from point A to point B. If you just want to hack and slash like me, it is outstanding.

[@KSMILE508]

Darksiders 1 will forever have a place in my mind

So if darksiders 1 has a place in your mind does darksiders 2 have the place in your heart? Well Death is often portrayed as a bride so...

This one dragged on but I'm glad to have played it because the presentation, designs, and bosses were freaking cool. That ship pulled by the giant snake things was my favorite.

[@satyrionfinal]

I watched all the KZbin reviews of this game and this is the best one so far. Been playing this game on and off for a month now and I really really love it as long as I don’t overdo it. A few dungeons a week is perfect for me, I do however miss the much better story of darksiders 1. Darksiders 1 also had so much better back stories for the bosses, felt way more epic in a sense. Here I don’t even know why am killing the bosses except for progressing in the game. Also there is a lot of fetch quest within fetch quests. Like get 3 of these but do that you must defeat 3 of those but to defeat those you must gather 3 of something else and I end up just thinking wtf 😰😂

Great job on doing this review! Really in-depth analysis on every aspect of this game. I'm currently playing it on the switch. Having a blast despite the frame rate issues, still, the gameplay keeps me hook. Truly an underrated game. Hopefully they release Darksiders 3 on the switch

[@Harrysound]

It’s a shame that these game on a technical level don’t stand up to the promise

[@Tyndaal604]

The devs really poured their heart and soul into this game, so much so that they went bankrupt. Luckily it gave birth to THQNordic though so, we got Biomutant 😁

[@drag0nemper0r97]

I had hardly even heard of this franchise before i played Darksiders 2 for the first time. I was BLOWN AWAY within the first half hour due to the awesome soundtrack when you fight your way through the icy landscape and fight the Crowfather. Such a good franchise.

[@bendovahkiin8405]

IMO crucible is the best thing in this game cause you can play it during and after finishing the game which provides rewards that can help you while leveling and test your skills after you finish the story plus the hidden boss at the end. I am not aware of the bug you mentioned.

[@amyriadofadventures4085]

Fair enough. But I went into it mid game and it just hurt my pride and soul :D If one understands the stat system fully and has good gear, then the curcible is surely fun, why not.

[@kenjisxsad5404]

The Crucible is sick. It's quite long though although the wisecracking and goofy Wicked K made it worth it

[@SwarmDOTA2]

The game “journalists” gave it a bad score because they can’t jump properly in Cuphead, hence not enough brain cells to complete a single puzzle in this game.

[@ErickLopez-mi3gj]

Loved the review! Must say tho, as an Assassin's Creed fan since 2007, thinking of someone only discovering Jesper Kyd so recently and not in AC2 sounds crazy lol

[@wewwew236]

Just as a note, Darksiders 2's metascore is actually way higher than 72. 72 is the score of the latest "remake", which is criticised for not fixing any bugs and making some things worse. Darksiders 2 is an amazing game and it is one of my favourites. I keep saying in my friend groups every time I have the chance, but the new god of war series have so much inspiration from this game which no one admits.

[@holidayinn4293]

If the game would have really gotten a couple more bug passes over the years. I think the game would have been a bit more popular. Nobody likes to be 10+ hours into a save file and get hit with a softlock forcing a restart you know.

[@bendovahkiin8405]

it's character driven and the overall story is spread across all the games or should i say plot.

I just got it yesterday and i was hooked I have never played a game like this begore and it's amazing.

To this day, this game had the best overall gameplay in the main trilogy, and it all comes down to the gearing and dungeons. Somehow Darksiders 3 managed to throw it all away to be a trash Souls clone with a trash plot instead. An absolute tragedy.

[@pipper4747]

Darksiders 2 is a forgotten masterpiece. The amount of epicness in this game is insane. The visual style, character and environment designs, voice acting, story, dialogues and that incredible soundtrack!! It has fantastic atmosphere, it constantly surprises and never looses its grip and it has so many absolutely epic moments. There is just no other game like it. And you play as Death! Its the only game where even such thing as opening a door is epic. Sure its not perfect, but I love this game so much.

[@amrholo4445]

a tip for the cruicible part(i dont remember the exact name) you can easily easily pass the 100 stage with a possessed weapon that has life steal/wrath steal how to get those? i will tell you Case 1 (you have a possessed weapon with place to put in the 2 stats mentioned above): feed it with a weapon that has has life steal/ wrath steal and it will get that from it or go to vulgrim and but "Legacy artifact" and feed it to the possessed weapon it will then give you 2 random stats options, if you didnt get a stat that you want just dont accept it, go the skill page or any other page and then return to the page of the equipment then the process will be cancelled and you can start again, you don't lose anything from doing this, repeat this until you get any stat you want) Case 2 (buy from vulgrim a possessed weapon then repeat as case 1) Case 3 (there is a red talisman that you will get near the end) if you put on this talisman, any normal weapon that drops from monsters will turn into a possessed weapon a tip: if your possessed weapon is now low level like for example lvl 13 and you now are lvl 15, just drop it then pick it up and it will become lvl 15 you literally can finish all the game with side quest and additional campagins using only 1 weapon xD another tip: you now know how to put the stats that you want on your weapon, the 2 other stats i use are execution chance and reaper energy on crit, and you can annihilate the game while using unstoppable and harvest always with infinite health and wrath ^_^

I have a few comments. 1. That dip in quality near the end was the crunch THQ was putting on Vigil, Lost Light and Shadows Edge was supposed to be bigger in size, like Forgelands or Kingdom of the Dead. So if anyone is to blame, blame the old school THQ, but at the same time bankruptcy was looming over them so I can't be too hard. There are also 3 DLC levels which were released after which look incredible if you haven't played them yet. 2. 1 crash throughout the whole playthrough is pretty good compared to a lot of other games I've played on PS4. Should they strive for better? Of course but I usually look at one crash as a fluke, now if there is a pattern where if I walked in a specific area or do a specific action and it crashes each time, then yeah they weren't paying attention when developing the game. 3. As for the Crucible, I think it jumps in difficulty at certain waves because you unlocked each set of waves after beating certain world. As someone going for platinum trophy I was getting frustrated when I kept dying at the final wave which was a giant difficulty spike. (Until someone told me to change difficulty in options, then I said fuck it). This is a good review otherwise, I'm surprised you didn't mention the wall jumping segment in the City of the Dead where the camera wouldn't follow you and you just had to guess when to stop. Maybe I was the only one experiencing this, I also had a bug with a sidequest where I had to kill these shadow creatures but one of them didn't count and they never respawn once killed so I had to playthrough again to finish sidequests. Sorry for the paragraphs lol.

[@normanmerrick9493]

1. Yeah the last realm was super short and kinda disappointing compared to the others 2. I 100% agree 3. Idk man maybe it was just me but the Crucible wasn't that difficult. There was only one enemy I struggled against and that was wave 75, fk that bastard I hate him with a passion both in the crucible and in the overworld. (If you know you know)

[@MrKlausbaudelaire]

What I found enjoyable in Darksiders II, especialy after playing the previous game... is how charismatic the characters are! What describes Darksiders I is definitely the word "Statuesque", every character is stoic, serious and focused, but on the sequel, a lot of characters are... chill. Death packs a lot more sass in his words, like this moment he says "and how we are gonna do that?" in that sarcastic questioning voice or when you can't pick up a potion because you're maxed out, his "Impossible" have a slight laughter in it. Hearing those charactes speak is entertaining on it's own because just how unique and charismatic they are. And their voices are also really unique, they don't sound like humans AT ALL, and thats a compliment.

[@marcokrauss5320]

I‘m just replaying it on PS4 right now. It’s still amazing. And the crashes… you can trigger them and I see why it’s frustrating but it’s very much avoidable. The game crashes for me a 100% of the time if I’m rolling right into a level border (those very short loading sequences between areas) and if I’m rolling plus hitting the menu button right after a boss fight or cutscene. Once I knew and avoided this the game never crashed for me again.

You got some pretty good points but I strongly disagree with the loss of quality towards the end. The biggest fall in quality comes with the Earth, but than it picks up with 2 best dungeons (Lost Temple and Black Stone) and great conclusion in the end. Anyway you're first one I saw to delve a bit deeper into the stat system in this game and I really appreciate that, because it's big part of being good in this game. Even though I feel like it's a bit imbalanced towards the later stages of the game, Harbinger builds with emphasis on crit. chance and crit. dmg are outright broken especially if you're lucky enough to get lifesteal on possessed weapons, than it's just cheating :D Great content, you've earned yourself a new sub :)

Although this was a year ago The necromancer ultimate gains more attacks the more you wraith bar is filled and on small enemies can hit them in the ceiling making you able to focus on a tougher enemy

Good review! This is my most favorite Darksiders game in the series! I've played them all but I seem to always remember this one the most!

[@cateskategaymer817]

Love this analysis and love the game so far. But you said it didn’t remind you of Zelda, then went on to describe the dungeons and play-thru that sounds just like Zelda. Zelda 1: using items found in dungeons to solve the dungeon. And the linear gameplay of “half-open-world/half-linear-courses” is evident in every Zelda game of the past… This game is Skyward Sword with monsters. Again, great vid, great analysis, just give credit where it’s due. 🤙

I replayed this recently and wanted to make the abyssal armor work so I did a crit build and now my critical chance is 99% and critical damage is 300% if damage numbers are on it crashes my game because of the amount of damage I do

U were talking about the guardians boss fight

On my top 3 fav games i played all Darksiders games with my dad together untill today i wait for the 4th Darksiders

[@SuperSky9]

Most accurate review! The Portal gun abilities and the lazy skill tree design is pretty disappoint for a 10/10 like this.

I just watched this video to see a bit of what is waiting for me after the first Darksiders and a lot of things are the same, but honestly I felt very curious playing War’s story and it was very interesting for a lot of reasons. I don’t agree with bad ratings and reviews but this one I feel like is the perfect one, talking objectively, comparing the first game of the series sensations. Hope it will bring some fun!

[@user-bz6ri6ou8j]

I thought I would love darksiders 2 aswell after playing the first one and watching this video, In fact i just bought it and i hope i can save you from going through the same thing i did. it’s horrible. the combat sucks, the movement is worse, and just so many other things i don’t even have the time or patience to type. This is me trying to save you from wasting your money. The people that love this game love it because of nostalgia, not because it’s good.

I've just got back from Earth. I've had the game for many years but only now I'm playing through it and I'm enjoying myself a lot!

[@ScarletCrown_]

I know this is an old video but I’m just finding out about this game, I just saw gameplay yesterday and never made a purchase so fast in my life….I bought the bundle that came with wild sisters 11 and Wildmaster “think that’s the name” and buying 3 today. 👌🏻

I love this game to death!!! I have explored this so much over the years that I know every single location of all collectibles... No what I play I keep returning back to it

[@feraldrgn]

It was a GREAT game (& series), it was just a shame about the bugs in 2, really killed the enjoyment when you had to play it carefully & late game glitches couldn't be fixed. Probably the biggest flaw of the game is the limited New Game Plus, if it was infinite then the bugs wouldn't be as much of an issue because you might have been able to play the content you had to skip on the 3rd or 4th playthrough etc.

Bro u forgot the possessed wepon glich that all fans love The music - the Guardian in forge lands In a way death is the cause for corruption having a champion

[@skipperg4436]

Yes, I can name the soundtracks you played. I do listen them from time to time though so its not like I did not heard them since 2012 =) Regarding game reception it was made during the era when plenty of very good games were made, and economy crisis was happening. Plenty of really good games lost money or barely break even back then. Video games take a lot of time and money to make, couple of years after 2012 there was a huge, HUGE drop in games quality. And publishers forced developers to add microtransactions and lootbox casinos everywhere. Not to mention that Darksiders 2 had a lot of issues so it was not like an absolute masterpiece. Combat had many issues. Dungeon crawling gets a bit too repetitive (1-st and especially 2nd worlds are too long). The way plot unfolds is more like "hero on a quest" kind of plot rather than more intensive story one which not everybody liked. And it was very different from Darksiders 1 (which is not the bad thing by its own but pushed many fans of the original game away). I guess you can say that we were spoiled by the "golden age" of video games that was late 2000-th - early 2010th.

so imo Bone storm kinda sucks bad because it's only ever good on lesser enemies since the bigger ones just tanks it and I still get hit in that form and die(i played the game on deathinitive so yeah). Frenzy on the other hand utilizes maximum wrath so the more wrath points more skull and the higher the arcane, arcane crit chance/strike the more it just melts the enemies including bigger enemies and bosses. combine that with wrath steal on scythes and fist weapons and you're the ultimate glass cannon.

[@karkarey]

I loved loved Darksiders 1 and followed development news for Darksiders 2 very closely. I enjoyed all the puzzles, combat and boss battles. They took a lot of gameplay mechanics from other games like Zelda, Prince of persia and God of War.

[@lasyanka7821]

Finished the third game, could wait till I play the second. Darksiders 3 was so soul like, while 2 still is kinda unique for me

[@ethericboy]

This game has you running around in dungeons,hacking"n slashing
