Pretty good if a little short. Get it on sale but keep in mind there's no cloud saves.

The Darkness II fuses the gritty thrill of Dishonored with the sheer intensity of Wolfenstein and sprinkles of Manhunt's raw brutality. It’s a headlong dive into visceral, unapologetic gameplay that’s as ruthless in style as it is in substance. Dialogues snap and snarl, laced with profanity that hits harder than a punch, while the gameplay is fluid, responsive, and absolutely unrestrained. This is no mere shooter; it’s a raucous spectacle where blood and shadows dance. If you’re in the mood for an adrenaline shot straight to the soul, this one’s a must.

This is a really good game used to have it back on 360. A little bummed out they did not bring the first one to steam as well as never making a third one loved this game. loved the story the combat everything about it is just nostalgic really worth it excellent game

Really enjoyed this a bit forgotten FPS gem! Nice story, good action with a lot of untrivial fints provided by hero's demonic companion. And length if quite OK - instead of spending tens or even thousands you get a concentrated 7-9 hours adventure, and that's also nice.

Awesome hidden gem. The game is better played with a controller since some of the mouse/keyboard controls are a bit awkward to pull off mostly the melee attacks. The graphics aged well as well with the comic book-esque design. Still waiting on a Darkness 3.
