Welcome Darksiders fans and followers as we unveil Darksiders II! Darksiders II follows the exploits of one of the four horsemen of the Apocalypse, Death, in a weaving tale that runs parallel to the events in the original Darksiders game. Whether you are an X360, PC, PS3 or a WIIU user, read the Darksiders II review below to know more about the game and don't forget to watch the official trailer below.
Darksiders II Review
Some of the Pros withe new Darksiders game includes the following:
- Fluid, colorful action that evolves over time
- Clever, progressively more challenging environmental puzzles
- Allure of new, cool loot pushes you onward
- Expansive adventure, with lots of dungeons to explore
- Great audiovisual presentation sets the right apocalyptic tone.
However, there are also some cons with the game. You may not agree with me on some point but here they are:
- Some performance and technical issues
- No proper visual customization options
- Disappointing bosses, especially the final boss.
First comes War; then comes Death. Appropriately enough, Darksiders II turns its eyes from its predecessor's protagonist to a new one: Death himself, War's brother and one of the four horsemen of the apocalypse. His story plays out over the same time period as War's, but Darksiders II's narrative isn't so much about plot as it is about place and tone. The original Darksiders set a darkly fantastical mood, but the sequel hones its edges. The armor is still chunky and the sound of steel on steel still rings across battle arenas, but the skies are more ominous, the shadows grimmer, and the architecture sharper, as if every spire threatens to puncture the heavens and make them bleed.
Darksiders II Cheats
Kill Bheithir Easily
While fighting Bheithir, lure her to the right side of the platform. If you're locked on her as a target, you'll be walking backwards. Time things correctly and you'll fall onto a little lip on the edge of the platform. From that position, shoot her. She will continue trying to walk toward you, occasionally breathing fire (it won't hurt you) until finally she starts to fly. At that point, a cutscene of you killing her will play and you will have killed her without having to actually fight her fairly.
