Darksiders Review

Positives:

Fun, addictive, visceral combat
Enjoyable, if predictable, storyline
Some cleverly designed puzzles
Enjoyable weapon and tool variations

Negatives:

Puzzles at times feel tacked on and overdone
Last stage of the game is twice its appropriate length

Summary:

A fun, predictable, action game that does best when focusing on its strengths (combat) but loses itself a bit towards the end with excessive puzzles and dungeon crawling

Rating:

8.5 / 10

Recommendations:

Best played with a gamepad
