Darksiders Genesis
From the dawn of creation, THE COUNCIL has maintained the Balance across existence. Carrying out their orders are THE HORSEMEN, Nephilim (powerful beings spawned from the unnatural union of angels and demons) who have pledged themselves to the Council and been granted immense power. However, this power came at a tragic cost: the Horsemen were ordered to use their newfound strength to wipe out the rest of their kind. What followed was a bloody battle on Eden where the Horsemen, obeying the will of the Council, annihilated the Nephilim. Still reeling from the events on Eden, WAR and STRIFE have been given a new assignment — LUCIFER, the enigmatic and deceptive demon king, has been plotting to upset the Balance by granting power to master demons throughout Hell. War and Strife must hunt down these masters, gather information, and ultimately fight their way through a tangled, demonic conspiracy that threatens to forever upset the Balance and unravel all of creation.

it's fun until you have to jump on specific angle and a tight platform with a locked camera... whoever got that idea is a D*ck

This Diablo like version of Darksiders is even more fun than the last 10 years diablo Games!
Blizzard should be embarrassed

Awesome darksiders game.
At first glace it might seem that this is a departure from the darksiders formula, but don't be fooled. Besides the top down camera it is still a darksiders game at it's core (cool hack and slashing combos/ executes/ earn souls to get yourself power ups/ puzzles etc.)
The soundtrack is a highlight on this one, make sure to not turn down the music.
It has his fair share of bugs but nothing to complain about that much.
It might take 2 or 3 levels to get itself going but it's worth it.
If you are a darksiders fan make sure you don't miss this one.
I highly recomend you to try it in coop if you find a friend to play it with.

I had low expectations to be honest, but this is a good action game.
Minor jumping mishaps aside, so far it's a blast.
BONUS POINTS for the extra large font setting.

This is my 4th Darksiders game, with loving all the previous ones (yes, i completed and really liked Darksiders 3 too). True, this one is the odd one of them all, with a top-down isometric gameplay, but its no stranger to the over-time-top action the franchise is known for.
This game takes place before the prior 3 Darksiders storyline, where we meet the 4th and final horsemen, Strife. I totally love this character (after Death ofc), with his funny take on the world, joking while looking badass doing it.
I really loved his teaming with war, the grumpier of the 4, and their banters and relationships grow throughout the duration of the story. I really loved how they bonded over the journey and had each other's back.
Darksiders genesis was a great game to play, with the mechanic, though a bit different, made me feel go back to the old franchise gameplay-loop of sheer fun and hack-and-slash havoc.
