Never played the original Darksiders and wondering what all the fuss is about? All you need to do is imagine a blending of The Legend of Zelda and God of War. Developer Vigil Games openly borrows from these franchises, and at times you might wonder if they’re crossing the line into plagiarism. Of course, if you’re going to take a few ideas from other series, then you can’t do much better than Zelda and God of War, and the seamless blending of these franchises is what made the original Darksiders so relevant to begin with. And its sequel is hardly an exception, with excellent combat and a much improved soundtrack, though a few major problems keep it from actually improving on its predecessor.
