Current Events > So... how bad could darksiders be? They made 3 games. Should I try them out?

(+) Yeah! (+)

I actually did play a bit of the demo for the first game like 10+ years ago, but wasn't feeling it at the time, the controls felt cumbersome from what I remember.

I just beat Warmastered edition for the first time last week and I freaking loved it.

My introduction to the series.

Great games imo

the series is pretty much a Frankenstein of obvious influences (first game is basically a Zelda clone with the occasional Prince of Persia platforming, for example; the 3rd game is a dark souls-like with Metroidvania item advancement)

the story and presentation are silly and over the top, but fun

tbh its one of my favorite series going rn

i believe i got II and III free from various downloads. haven't gotten around to trying either one yet.

First one is ehh, didn't finish it. Second one is meant to be pretty good. Third one wasn't great on launch, apparently it's more timing-based and the enemies were a bit spongy to start with. No idea about the isometric one.

There's also Genesis, a 4th game.

With the third one they tried a combat system similar to the most recent God of War but still wanted to have the fast paced action, and it was excessively hard and annoying to play, so they patched in classic controls to make it more similar to the dmc-esque button-mashing of the others

First two are good (only tried 1). 3 got mixed reviews

Both fun games. 2 is definitely the better one imo. Fun combat, amusing story and characters, fun environments to explore. Not genre defining master pieces, but competently made fun games.

Haven't played 3 or Genesis though.

I've tried getting into both of the first two games but they just never grab me

I don't believe any of them were outright bad, they just never enjoyed the popularity of more mainstream fighters. A good portion of people probably know Morrigan from MvC than Darkstalkers.

dunno. they just seem kind of dull. i liked them but they are kinda boring.

first one i quit around the end.
2nd one ive gotten bored of it and quit around the second major world/zone.

something about the series is just missing
