Dec. 2024

weird and cool game. I wish it was a bit longer but I was invested the whole time in the story even if it didn't always make sense. I hope they eventually make a 3rd game even if it's not likely. I also need the first game remastered on pc asap!

Dec. 2024

Amazing game with revolutionary combat styles. Compelling story. Great voice acting. Such a shame this never got the sequel it needed... the ending left the story on a cliffhanger and never followed through

Nov. 2024

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

Oct. 2024

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
