), perhaps out of fear of a possible вЂњmore of the sameвЂќ. In 2010 the game landed on shelves and consoles, initially not many were fascinated by the title, despite the fact that it was a game with a fairly solid gameplay and enriched with elements taken from other famous games (The Legend of Zelda, God of War, etc.

Aside from a dull opening that sees you mashing buttons for half an hour until you get to the game proper, the title is a blast from delayed start to finish.Version tested: Nintendo Switch Guerra lands on SwitchД© years have passed since the release on Xbox 360 and PS3 of this particular brand, dedicated to the adventures of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. For all its weight, however, the combat does feel a little shallow throughout the adventure, and devolves into button mashing feats of endurance at times.ДЇor all the myriad inspirations Darksiders takes, it still, somehow, comes away with a personality all its own. Even the combat feels like itвЂ™s been ripped from a similarly mythological game series, but its punchy and violent and visceral in the best possible way. The game is never coy about what itвЂ™s aping, but when the quality is as solid as it is here, it really doesnвЂ™t seem to matter. Hell, you even get what is essentially a portal gun later for use in DarksidersвЂ™ best dungeon. Over the fifteen hours or so the campaign demands of you, youвЂ™ll find yourself visiting dungeons, discovering new items and weapons, and using this new gear to solve puzzles. Darksiders takes a solid formula laid out by Nintendo decades ago and warps it to fit its own twisted sensibilities in a fantastic way. Now, I was abusing hyperbole something awful back then, but there was a foundation of truth to my claims. When Darksiders first came out, I cited it as the best Zelda game since MajoraвЂ™s Mask. This is thanks in no small part to some seriously excellent voice acting (with big names such as Mark Hamill and Troy Baker lending their pipes to the production) Vulgrim is a bad ass, and War himself is a hoot to listen to most of the time. There was enough motivation in the stellar gameplay loop to keep me playing that I didnвЂ™t mind so much about the so-so story, but the true standouts for me are some of the excellent characters that populate this world. Getting to the bottom of this conspiracy sends War all around the tattered planet, collecting trinkets, felling bad guys and having a touching reunion with his hellhorse. War has been set up, of course, and sets out to clear his name. The apocalypse has been kickstarted early, and everyoneвЂ™s blaming War, the first of the four horsemen, for pulling the trigger too soon.

With the recent remaster of Darksiders II and now the original I can only hope the planned quadrilogy will see the light of day at some point, but for now IвЂ™m just stoked I get another chance to blaze through the first game in the series in all its high-def glory.Дarksiders starts at the end вЂ“ of the world, that is.
