Update. Took exactly 18 hours to beat the game and thats with getting stuck on puzzles and and backtracking for loot. If I did everything right the first time, this is probably closer to a 14 hour game. Overall I love the first half of the game. Perfect. The 2nd half gets carried away. Huge difficulty spike. Classic. This is still one of the best games ever made. I played this many times on console and first time playing it on pc. I got the series during the black friday sale and been having a blast playing through it again. I am starting to think Gensis is probably the best one. Im playing the warmastered version and so far I havent noticed any huge between this and the original. I wouldnt mind another remaster though. I do like the later games combat system more. Not a perfect game but badass start to finish. Still one of my favorite first levels in any game ever. Highly recommend if you like combo action games.

There is a lot to comment on but I've finished this ~2,5 years ago and what stuck with me the most is that in terms of combat fluidity it's doesn't go as far as hack n slash genre goes but pretty fun nonetheless and can seriously benefit from an ambitious remake.

Gotta be one of the better games from its era. As a long-time nintendo dork, this game felt derivative of the legend of zelda--though done lovingly, with reverence. But the more I think of the release dates, the more convinced I am that the inspiration must have gone both ways. For fans of the legend of zelda games, Darksiders is highly recommended for taking the ideas of puzzle-laden dungeons and giving us puzzles that are more suited for the adult mind, and for taking the first public shot at Navi.

I played the original Darksiders on PS3 back in the day and, I have to say... it was a hidden gem. The combat was stellar at the time and the story is fantastic! I've had Darksiders Warmastered Edition in my Steam library since 2017 and I have only just got to it on my backlog, due to having a really bad PC back then. I have to say, I thoroughly enjoyed it like I did when I first played it in 2010! Is Darksiders Warmastered Edition worth playing in 2024? Yes. Yes it is. Below I will state why it is but first a small disclaimer and a little "history" about the Darksiders franchise before I get into it! SKIP BELOW THE HISTORY ABOUT THQ AND DARKSIDERS TO SEE THE PROS AND CONS LIST! This review is MY opinion, MY own personal experience and MY thoughts. I am brutally honest when it comes to reviewing games. If you do not like my opinion, my time or respect my personal experience, please move on. A little bit of history Back in 2010 THQ wanted to make 4 Darksiders games, 1 for each horseman of course. Sadly, THQ filled for bankruptcy in 2011 which left us with Darksiders and Darksiders 2. Two missing games BUT a company called Nordic Games purchased Darksiders and became THQ Nordic. They then went on to release Darksiders Warmastered Edition, Darksiders 3 (which is fury) and Darksiders Genesis (which is a spinoff). To this date 01/09/2024 - we have been waiting 14 years for the final horseman to show up on our screens and they finally are making another Darksiders game after 7 long years. (I do not count Darksiders Genesis as a proper Darksiders game as it's a spinoff), but enough of the history, let's get to it about the game shall we! PROS ⚫A fantastic story from start to end. The "corruption" with heaven and hell all pinned on a singular Horseman, bent on clearing his name - AND REVENGE. ⚫Game did not stutter, freeze, crash e.t.c at all. Personally, I think its really well optimised. ⚫The combat is really nice and fluent. It is a little dated, but it's still fantastic in 2024 and really holds it's own! ⚫The animations are spot on and really well designed. I can name multiple games nowadays that cannot even get animations done correctly. ⚫The "Warmastered Edition" comes with a plethora of improvements such as - optimised framerate, a wider variety of graphic options (FOV, Texture Filtering, Windowed/Fullscreen) and so much more compared to the original. CONS ⚫I had several Audio issues. Sometimes I could not hear the Watcher talk to me or any other NPC at all for that matter. I am not sure what is going on but it happened mid way through the game and kept happening till I completed it. ⚫I could not summon RUIN when I got him. The button was unbound. Why? anyway, I found a fix for this - Open options and click "Show Controls" - Edit controller config - Go to joysticks and select the button for L3 - Select "#Action_Ruin" - Confirm changes. ⚫The abyssal armour you collect is not shown in the cutscenes which kinda makes collecting it a bit... dull. Unless you want 100% like me... it felt pointless. I wanted to see all it's glorious 4k details on my screen!!! My Verdict After all is said and done, following Darksiders since 2010 to now... I/WE have all been waiting for the epic reveal of all 4 horsemen and to think... it might be soon. Darksiders Warmastered Edition is a fantastic "remaster" of a absolute hidden gem of a game. If you have not played it yet I would HIGHLY recommend Darksiders Warmastered Edition to anyone a fan of "Hack and Slash" games and a good story game. 8/10! A fantastic remaster of a hidden gem with a superb story and amazing combat. Darksiders is a game not to be forgotten anytime soon!
