- Darksiders II remains a fantastic action RPG experience with a distinctive dark fantasy feel. It offers a rich, multi-layered gameplay experience with a unique protagonist, beautiful art direction, and a mix of combat and puzzle-solving mechanics that will keep you engaged for hours. The Deathinitive Edition, while not perfect, is still worth playing, especially for those who missed it the first time around or want to relive the adventure with a bit of extra polish and added content. With its discounted price and bundled DLC, it’s a great way to experience Death’s journey, even if the road isn’t entirely smooth.
Cosmin Vasile · Nov 06, 2024 Reviewed on PS5Read full review - Darksiders II: Deathinitive Edition su PlayStation 5 e Xbox Series X|S è, nei contenuti, la stessa Deathinitive Edition già vista sulla precedente generazione di console nel 2015, con l'aggiunta di notevoli migliorie grafiche, tecniche e prestazionali che l'etichetta "4K e 60 FPS" rischia di trasformare in una mera banalizzazione. Di modifiche, infatti, ce ne sono state parecchie tra ray tracing, ombre, illuminazione, caricamenti ridotti all'osso e (su PlayStation 5) supporto al DualSense. Considerando anche che l'intero pacchetto è letteralmente gratis per chi possiede già la Darksiders II: Deathinitive Edition precedente e ad un prezzo budget per tutti gli altri, troviamo che vi sia davvero poco di cui lamentarsi. Non stiamo parlando solo di un capitolo fondamentale nel franchise e di un videogioco che a distanza di 12 anni mette ancora tranquillamente sotto scacco innumerevoli produzioni odierne appartenenti allo stesso genere, ma di un'operazione commerciale condotta con estrema onestà, sia nei confronti dei fan storici che dei nuovi arrivati. Impugnate dunque quella falce, che sia per la prima, per la seconda o per la terza volta.
Simone Pettine · Oct 28, 2024 Reviewed on PS5Read full review - Darksiders II Deathinitive Edition forgoes some of the bells and whistles of the Playstation 5 platform for a port that's more straight forward. It's a sharper looking version but not an upgrade that really puts the old consoles to shame. For anyone new, this is a solid opportunity to discover a game with clever dungeon design, solid enough platforming and engaging combat. There is a surprising amount of craft n display for something that derives so much from other games.
Mike · Oct 27, 2024 Reviewed on PS5Read full review - Darksiders II Deathinitive Edition Remastered is, again, a solid remaster of an already-great game. Whilst it may struggle to draw in newcomers, there's a reason why THQ keep trotting this out. Solid gameplay, fusing elements of other titles of the time, as well as a solid story make it a great time. Bolstered with updated visuals and all of its original content, it's certainly worth giving it a go if you missed it the first (or second) time around.
Greg Hicks · Oct 22, 2024 Reviewed on PS5Read full review - Darksiders 2 Deathinitive Edition isn’t for those who’ve played the original release, but its a great way for those who missed out to get on board before Nordic Games makes some original content. Now that this is out of the way, bring that on, Nordic — we’ve still got two Horsemen to meet.
Steve Wright · Oct 17, 2024 Reviewed on Series X|SRead full review - Darksiders II: Deathinitive Edition, em sua versão de PlayStation 5, não traz nada de realmente novo na essência deste grande jogo, focando-se em atualizar os visuais para o 4K nativo, uso do ray tracing, funções táteis e carregamentos rápidos. Dito isso, ainda é um jogo incrível, e merece essa desculpa esfarrapada para ser revisitado novamente ou experimentado pela primeira vez.
Paulo Roberto Montanaro · Oct 15, 2024 Reviewed on PS5Read full review - Despite my moderate level of enjoyment, I’d still hesitate to recommend Darksiders II Deathinitive Edition unless you have a notable affinity with action games from the early to mid-2010s. Its drab and monotonous open world doesn’t do its bland exposition any favors. Nevertheless, the combat, customization, and puzzle design may win over the more patient types. Regarding this boosted port, it doesn’t warrant a replay for the average player by any means, but if you’re a veteran or new fan, there’s enough justification for giving this release a whirl.
Orpheus Joshua · Oct 14, 2024 Reviewed on PS5Read full review - Darksiders 2: Deathinitive Edition brings an underrated classic onto modern consoles, with improvements that give it a new lease of life.
Chris White · Oct 14, 2024 Reviewed on PS5Read full review - While I wouldn’t call Darksiders II underrated, sales notoriously underperformed in 2012. Since then, lots of players have taken the opportunity to enjoy the game on a variety of platforms in the expanded and excellent Deathfinitive edition. Any fan of recent action RPGs will almost certainly enjoy Darksiders II’s combat and world. It looks great on the PS5 and anyone with the PS4 version gets a free upgrade. It’s definitely worth diving into again, or for the first time in the new version.
Mark Steighner · Oct 14, 2024 Reviewed on PS5Read full review - Darksiders II: Deathinitive Edition para consolas actuales, es un remaster que tiene poco que ofrecer a nivel de contenido. Si bien es cierto que es un juego entretenido, trae todos los DLC, mejoras gráficas y de rendimiento, también, hereda algunos problemas de versiones anteriores. Se recomienda, si no hemos jugado la serie antes, porque a final de cuentas, es el mejor juego de la franquicia.
