“Amazing game, but this was not adapted to be on steam. The game freezes or crashes every 15 minutes”
“Good game overall (I like the idea and achievements, playing the legendary death horseman) but I found the puzzles to be slightly boring and burdensome to get through. The combat is nice even though it seems ported from…”

“The game has a great story, solid combat mechanics, and a beautiful world. But it crashes every ten minutes and really gets on your nerves. There are way too many item-collection missions, which becomes exhausting. The…”

“Review in progress: Visually the game is gorgeous. I LOVE the artstyle - not particularly high res but its oozing with passion and style. Gameplay the combat is VERY satisfying but the camera is horrendous. One of the…”
“Amazing, ive never played a game like this. Saw ppl saying it took inspiration from Zelda? This particular brand of open world, exploration, puzzles, is something else. Heavily recommend it if youre even remotelly into…”

“Darksiders 2 is deathinitively my favorite of the the trilogy. It expanded on what the first game did great and allowed more freedom in this game. Each game feels different and I truly enjoyed my play through as Death.…”
“Apparently there was a game somewhere in between me drooling over Michael Wincott's voicebox multiple times”
“Darksiders II is the second installment in what is one of my favorite videogame series out there. This game's narrative picks up right where we left off with Darksiders, shifting to a focus on our new horseman…”

“At long last I have done it, I have 100 percented this game. This process took me 4 years, even though I am a big fan of the franchise, but I have to say this was my least favorite entry for many reasons. To start…”
“I really want to like this game, but after playing the first Darksiders, it feels so much less engaging. There is no sense of urgency or purpose. The story sets up very weak stakes, and puts you in a world that feels…”

“This game is pretty broken. You need to lock it to a lower framerate for it to work properly, and then some of the balance really incentivizes you to play in a not fun way. Health being restored by consumables that have…”
“I was so hyped to play Darksiders II after finishing Darksiders, but this has been a miserable experience so far. Every time I open and close the inventory with ESC, the game freezes on a grey screen and stops…”
“I want to love this one, but not this version. Uncapped framerates lead to infinite loading screens, sound breaks, I got caught on nothing once or twice, and all and all just not very stable. If you can pick this up on…”

“I'd seriously recommend this game to my friend Matt! He'd love it! Its a beautiful piece of art!”
— a player, Steam review · 27 hrs played“Darksiders is my favorite 6/10 IP to exist. It draws a lot of influence from a lot of places, and honestly doesn't outdo any of them but I love it despite that. They tried to include build variety in DS2, but unfortunately both trees largely play the same. I still think scythe…”

After the first one, I expected a similar game, but there are a lot more RPG elements that make each upgrade you get feel very insignificant.
