Sometimes the textures all look amazing and it's like they completely scaled everything up to HD and made everything beautiful, other times it looks like they just tried to make it beautiful and hoped that the players wouldn't notice how lazy things ended up looking even on the highest of graphical settings for the PC. However, there are still odd polygonal issues that pop up on occasion and there are a lot of textures in the environments that, if you decide to examine them a little more closely, you realize they aren't as pretty as you thought and it was actually just a tree triangle with some updated textures. Most of the environments are stunning to behold and all models look as if it has a brand new coat of paint on it, giving it a more next generation look. Speaking of looks, the game was indeed updated for the newer consoles and it looks like a suitable upgrade for those who wanted this game on their Xbox One or PS4. While not as jarring as the original edition, you will notice that there's slightly updated models or better looking weapons from the DLC pack compared to those in the core game. While playing it, it becomes quickly obvious what parts of the game were taken out to be made DLC. Darksiders 2 borrows from all of those and gives you a hybrid, and with the Deathinitive edition you're given a lot more options thanks to the game's DLC. If you've played a Zelda game, God of War or any Western RPG, then you'll easily figure out just how the game plays. It does, but that doesn't mean it doesn't have a few odd tasting things in it that detract from the overall meal. The sequel tries to establish more of a separate identity for itself, while sticking to its roots of throwing in every quirk or gimmick from other popular games into a pot, mixing it up to see if it tastes good. The original Darksiders took itself way too seriously, as if it'd be the next big franchise. It's still a very dumb story with a lot of poorly written teenage angst and the writers trying to appeal to that demographic, but it's not nearly as bad as the first game, which might as well have been writing bad poetry with black eyeliner on its box art. The writing in Darksiders 2, while similar to the writing in the first game, comes off as far more self-aware than the previous game, knowing fully well just what sort of game it is, and embraces it. Now he must traverse a massive open world to save humanity and his brother. He tries to find a way to restore humanity by going to The Tree of Life, but things goes awry and he's transported to the world the Tree of Life is on, but not directly to the Tree. This is admirable considering that one could easily brush this game off as another cash-in on an existing game in a franchise that is, as of now, dead in the water.įor those who didn't play Darksiders 2, the story is as follows: Death tries to save his brother War after he has been put on trial before the Council for possibly wiping out all of humanity as we know it. While Darksiders 2: Deathinitive Edition does do all of these things, it also does try to differentiate itself from other remastered or updated editions of games by attempting to improve the faults its original incarnation.
