Darksiders 2 Review
THE OVERVIEW
Darksiders 2 is a follow-up to Vigil Games' Darksiders' and published by THQ. This second installment follows a second horseman of the Apocalypse " Death", as he seeks to redeem his brother's actions and save him.
REVIEW
I can just say one word for Darksiders 2 called "AWESOME". Darksiders 2 is the best from all God of war series but is not a copy of that as many people are thinking. Darksiders 2 offers players to control over a 'Death' who is a badass cold arrogant and is a lot more agile than war who was like tank like person steadfast relying more on muscle strength ,Death, On the other hand relies on dodging and then coming in for the kill.
Moreover, game makes frequent use of puzzle elements, requiring the player to think their way through a series of levers, doors, elevators etc. in order to reach areas and objectives.Player in this not only faces problems or bosses to complete the objective, but too try to be more interactive by adding elements like puzzles, methods etc. Darksiders 2 also add on a a great map feature to its previous series and maps are vast and each contain open world to "overworld" regions that can be explored freely on foot or by horse, along with numerous dungeons where quest objectives are generally carried out. Darksiders 2 also adds up on a Combat factor basis as Death is more brutal and agile than war. At some parts, there's seems to be a bit of confusion created among the players but That's the fact which makes Darksider 2 more interactive among the users. Again, the storyline is epic and we feel fully immersed in it, the background music, the game graphics, the character play etc. each just take away our minds and take our flight to new world of magic and fantasy.
PLOT
As War is charged with his crimes, the horsemen Death make's sure that his brother is innocent and so, sets out on a personal mission to erase his brother's 'crime' and resurrect humanity. Death seeks the Tree of Life in order to restore humanity.

The top rated comments on the internet for Darksiders 2 reviews are as follows,
SlawT3R says,
"Darksiders 2 was one of the best game I have ever played. More bosses, more characters, more maps,... A great overall game. The controls were well thought out, and the game is quiet long. The fun factor is very high. I liked the first one, and this one is even better."
Greyslay_gamer says,
"As a huge fan of the original Darksiders this was one of my most anticipated game of the year. I was not let down! Everything that made the original so great is still there and better than ever! There are a lot of detailed reviews here explaining why Darksiders is so great, so I won't spend my time with that. I'll just say you owe it to yourself to play these games. Between Darksiders and Darksiders 2, you have 60+ hours of gaming excellence to play through!"
Rock_Hamer says,
"I just finished the first Darksiders and was really looking forward to the second game. Darksiders 2 is amazing. This game is everything that Zelda should be. I am very impressed. Buy this game!"
THE VERDICT
Overall, Darksiders 2 is a game looking for a niche. It's a mashup of more modern Zeldas (room to room puzzles and combat) complete with getting the Map and the Key for each dungeon, and a modern Prince of Persia with the wall-to-wall jumping, pole hugging and very particular ledge holding. Add in a splash of RPG mechanics (level up, drops, etc) and you have a game.
But, the controls sometimes lacked a bit, and that raw amount of the theme world color (brown, green, or grey) took away from the experience of game. The sprinkling of combat in the dungeons were offsetting as you would have a few puzzles, and then will be thrown into a combat room. After battles, there was another round of puzzling.
