When I got there, I found the combat to be quite enjoyable. Otherwise, the puzzling is not a frustrating element of the gameplay.įinally, the combat. The puzzles are not too difficult, although from time to time the wood you can use to climb is difficult to see. You are often presented with doors that need keys or special levers pulled to open – you must explore the area to find keys, bombs or big boulders to act as weights for special plates. Of course the platforming is an integrated part of solving puzzles. But I stuck with it, and now that I have mastered the precision of the camera, the platforming sections don’t take nearly as long, so I am reaching combat zones much more quickly. I really struggled with this in the beginning, and was prepared to say don’t bother with this game – despite the fact that the combat, when you get to it, is quite enjoyable. At writing I have died 68 times – 6 in combat, 62 by doing something bizarre and launching off an edge.

The camera can be a little hinky, so you need to be very precise with it or you will jump in to the abyss.

When I booted it up I expected a hacker, similar to a Devil May Cry feel, and was sorely disappointed to find myself platforming most of the time. I’m going to lay it out from the start: this is a game that thinks it is a hacker, but really it is a platforming puzzler. With all the remastered games coming out now, is it really worth picking it up for the new gen consoles? Darsksiders 2 gets a remaster for the next generation consoles, and includes all of the DLC released.
