Darksiders Genesis Standard Edition - PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4

Game was amazing from beginning to end. Switching from strife to war in an instant and wrecking havok on demons using special attacks combined with standard attacks. Story was great, the upgrade system is also set up well. Kill demons, get souls, find coins and upgrade. There's combat upgrades for each horseman and soul upgrades that come with passive attributes, kind of like a soul tree. You can upgrade souls via store or find them by killing demons. The arena is also good to find souls and earn rewards by killing waves of enemies. Game is $40, go get it.

I've always liked the Darksiders game, and this one is cool in its own way. It's almost like Diablo, but still has some basic combos and abilities to use from the main Darksiders games. Top down view. Limited by the fixed camera angles but nothing terrible. Definitely worth the time and price until we get Darksiders 4...

Overall, I'd say if you enjoyed the earlier Darksiders games then there's a good chance you'll enjoy this one. Despite the fixed camera, it still plays like a Darksiders game. There are problems though. That fixed camera can be a pain sometimes and some of the platforming can be annoying. But it was never enough to make me quit playing the game. Pick it up on sale.

I had a lot of fun with this game. Great story telling, awesome lore, and a brand new combat style/ camera angle to boot. This is the same Darksiders you love, streamlined to a pseudo-dungeon crawler. As a person who didn’t love Darksiders 3, it was a great new take, on some of the best qualities of Darksiders.

A top action game that I can’t stop playing! It’s a different mode of play compared to previous games but it’s fun and exciting. The camera could use some work though.
