Whilst the game itself is absolutely great. it is borderline unplayable on this version. want to increase ur sensitivity? game crashes. just used a skill point to unlock a cool new skill? game crashes. it seems whenever you go into the settings or inventory screen you run a very high risk of crashing. Its unbearable.

I just think this game was not for me. 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. This game's story is good, but it only gives you continues after doing a series of collecting 3 of X thing. By the end, despite skipping no side quests, I felt like all the enemies were spongy and I just wanted it to end. I much preferred …

Darksiders II: Deathinitive Edition — Review Darksiders II: Deathinitive Edition is an action-adventure game that mixes fast combat, exploration, puzzles, and light role-playing elements. You play as Death, one of the Four Horsemen, as he journeys across strange worlds to clear his brother War’s name and restore humanity. Combat is the game’s strongest feature. Death moves quickly, and his dual scythes make fights …

Initially, I was having a lot technical issues with the game. Lots of stuttering and the game crashed every time I went into the menu, which made the game unplayable. This seems to be the cause for many of the negative reviews. I fixed all of the issues by setting the max frames for the game to 60 in my Nvidia control panel. I've had 25 hours of smooth gameplay since without a single crash to stutter and it only …

Darksiders II: Deathinitive Edition hits the perfect sweet spot between Zelda’s clever dungeon design/puzzles, God of War trilogy's visceral action, and Diablo’s rewarding loot mechanics. Taking control of Death who's the most agile, lethal, and imposing of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, feels incredible from the moment you take your first swing. Now, where it stumbles. The quest design relies heavily on fetch …

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game is currently broken. Unplayably so. I've tried to find fixes, implemented many of them, and found nothing that helped. Loved this game when it came out and would gladly give it a good review were it fixed.

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Darksiders II is one of the best games I've ever played in terms of Storyline, Gameplay and the best of all, The Soundtrack of this game is Freakin Awesome!! Easily the best in the Darksiders Franchise so far. Just Played it recently and completed it and I can absolutely recommend it to anyone who wish to play it as I didn't encounter any major bugs or crashes as people say so in the reviews. Just a few tips to avoid any type of crash: 1. Keep the Damage Indicators off all time. 2. Don't talk…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Current version of this has a bug that deletes progress and corrupts the savefile, meaning even cloud saving cant save this game, still not patched by the devs after nearly 10 years, buy the original version instead since its bug free

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →First of all, to play this game: - Close V-Sync from in game settings - Turn off Damage indicators from in game settings - Turn off Steam Overlay while in game - Turn on V-Sync and G-Sync from Nvidia App - And try not to minimize the window if you want to check an email or something because it closes the game automatically sometimes. Otherwise the game is 100% not playable, full of bugs and will make you regret the money or time! If you take care of the settings I told , the game and the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →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 responding. Constant stutters and performance issues too. After doing some research, apparently I need to disable Steam overlay, Discord overlay, GeForce Experience overlay, cap my FPS to 60, set the lowest possible graphic settings just to make the game playable on a modern PC.…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I sure would like to play this game but it crashes every time i exit the pause menu..
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →.Darksiders is perfect game, I rly love it. I see that there are a lot of negative comments because the game just crashes, it shuts down by itself, I had the same problem. I saw one comment where I should switch the game to Public beta version. When I did that, I didn't have any more problems. I hope this helped you too, enjoy the game :)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Still just a broken mess of a Port. You "Can" play it but constant issues with dropped frames area load issues camera panning feels like your eyes are going to explode due to the micro stutter it has. I love the game and was revisiting it via the new version as I play through the Franchise again.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →TLDR : 6/10. An acceptable but flawed Action game with light RPG mechanics. Get it for cheap during a Steam sale. Following the success of the first Darksider, the formula was altered to probably avoid franchise-fatigue. They added a loot-based RPG mechanic with incremential stats upgrades as well as levels. This means you get a load of junk loot that you have to sell at merchants. It's boring in other games, it is boring here. The game is an old school action-adventure game, which means…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game first of all is a 10/10 its awesome it expands largely upon the first game, This isn't the reason for the review. I play through the entire game get to the final boss and the game crashes. I did all the fixes like disabling ambient, no redemption, disable shadows and anti-aliasing and still I cannot finish the game it crashes like clock work I'm pretty upset fix the game.!!!!! How is this old game still broken…

neutral · AI labelView post →I enjoyed it way more than the first one, perhaps because they're completely different. Overall, it's a really good game; the system of randomly obtaining weapons of varying quality was a real hit or miss.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Darksiders 2 is a mix between RPGs and old beat them up, but both works very well together. The only default being the number of bugs the game has. Main story, side content, explorations and stuffing are all well done, for a game this old, the gameplay itself is surprisingly good, allowing exploration with parkour and challenging fights, the amount of things to do in this game that first seems likes a classic action rpg will surprise you for sure. Again, the only cons I'll give to this…

neutral · AI labelView post →I have so many things to write about my experience playing Darksiders II: DEATHinitive Edition. It literally has everything. The game's world design is peak. It is a unique '' AAA '' game which combines harmoniously combat, looting, puzzles, open world exploration, not to forget to mention the '' Possessed Weapons ''! You can actually 'feed' weapons making them insanely strong. I love the art of the game and because i love exploration i found interesting the optional dungeons that contain…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →First of all, to play this game, you must go into your graphics card settings and set fps cap on this game. Otherwise it won't work (Just toggling Vsync in game settings doesn't help depending on PC specs). Well, once I played a game that required me to set Windows settings into a foreign language. Otherwise it won't function, so it wasn't that big of a deal for me personally. So let's start the review itself: I played and quite enjoyed the 1st part of this series, even tho it was morally old…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The story is really good but there are just a bit too many minor bugs that persist. ctd and getting stucked for no reason whenever I use the pistol on round 100 absolom in the crucible. ctd can be fixed but I cannot figure out how to fix the getting stucked on the last round problem. It is just annoy that you can't get to the end due to a bug.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Darksiders 2 is the Darksiders game I like the most, but had the most trouble playing. It's the worst remaster I've played to date due to severe technical deficiencies. At its core Darksiders 2 builds on the action-platformer gameplay of the first game while adding layers of open world and RPG elements. It does this to the point of actually becoming a RPG-lite game, while also retaining the platforming and puzzling of the first game and even improving on those elements. When it works, this is…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Good game I really enjoy the Darksiders story and lore In this one, Death was a really fun character, which can be found in both his personality and combat capabilities The environment is also better than the first game since the story takes Death through more places and the devs had with what to work with and came up with great landscapes and details I had a great time with these aspects of the game :D That being said, while I did enjoy the game, you shall arm yourself with patience 😂 The…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →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 combat looks awesome even if it doesn't have the best sfx / impact volume. Hate the portal sections though.
