What players say
Darksiders Genesis is honestly such a damn good time. It's a different take on the series, but it still has that classic Darksiders vibe and I had a blast with it. Now I just want to see anything from Darksiders 4 already a gameplay clip, a little story tease, whatever. I just wanna know what they're cooking. 😭🔥

They say two heads are better than one. Darksiders Genesis agrees - especially when one head swings a giant sword and the other won't stop talking while shooting everything in sight. ⚔️🔫 Hey everyone. The author takes no responsibility for any damage caused by their reviews. Any resemblance to other reviews is purely coincidental. This review is solely the author's opinion and you are always free to have your own...
I did not feel interested enough in finishing the game, even as someone who has enthusiastically played previous entries in the series. Combat felt clunky, more specifically War's. Something about it just feels off. Fighting the common enemies felt boring because you could just button mash. In a related vein, I didn't see the need to unlock more of War's combat moves. Definitely felt like more work was put into...
