Final Thoughts -
Darksiders II certainly bears more game time. We are looking forward to seeing what else we can do in the game. 30 minutes was simply no enough to cover the game and all that it might have to offer. We were actually impressed with the limited number of cut scenes that make many action adventure games lag. The interaction with the main characters is also short and to the point. As we said if third person carnage is your goal, then Darksiders II should be right up your alley.
Was it worth it?
At $50.00 from Steam Darksiders II might be a little overpriced, but not by much. In general too many games are hitting the market at an overly high price point anyway, so we will not hold the $49.99 against Darksiders II. It is a solid game that is fast paced and fun to play. The graphics and in game options could be better for the PC, but in the end by not having these the game can be enjoyed by a wider audience. Even with the short amount of time we spent with the game we can certainly recommend it. We just wished that game companies would stick to writing games and not try to collect and trade user data...
