A century has passed, humanity has been decimated and landscape devoid of all but a few remains of what once was. War's arrival back to Earth is an unwelcome one. As a final shame, War is assigned a "Watcher", an overseer that will ensure he follows the council's instructions, and a demon to act as a guide through the game. War is banished back to Earth to restore the balance, and stripped of his power. Blamed for the destruction of humanity and death of Abaddon during the conflict, War is sent before the Charred Council to face punishment. After an encounter with Abaddon, leader of the Hellguard, it is brought to light that the seventh seal was never broken, and War should never have been summoned.
#DARKSIDERS 2 HOOKSHOT FULL#
When War is summoned, he arrives to find the apocalypse in full assault, humanity crushed by the overpowering forces of demons and the Hellguard, the defenders of heaven.

With the battle of the three kingdoms bound by seven seals, the final battle to determine the ultimate fate is to be decided when the seals are broken and the horsemen are summoned. In a tale of the apocalypse, you play War, one of the Four Horsemen, and a defender of the Charred Council. By lifting the most entertaining aspects from other franchises and combining them in a way that's both familiar and new at the same time, Darksiders is a highly entertaining experience from start to finish.ĭarksiders is a third-person action-adventure game that tells an alternative story of the Book of Revelations. Darksiders borrows a lot of elements from other games, but it does so selectively. Why make such a bold statement? Because, having finished Darksiders I've come to better appreciate the entertainment factor of a game as opposed to dismissing it as "more of the same". Having played Darksiders from beginning to end, I'm starting to agree with a statement I once strongly opposed. And through those years, I've come to value a few key elements: ability to entertain, creativity, and originality. Throughout my years of reviewing video games, I've covered a lot of titles across nearly every perceivable genre.
