      Editing … Well definitely don't bother with the sequels.

      Editing … Darksiders 2 looks interesting, but... I dunno...

      Editing … The combat, open world and immediate access to your horse is better, but the Prince of Persia style platforming is jankier than the Sands of Time despite coming out ten years later. Unlike War, Death can't double jump, and can only grab onto specific ledges, which leads to a lot of situations where you want to scale a five foot ledge that you could easily manage in real life, but your unstoppable horseman of the apocalypse has to circle around to the exact spot that you're actually allowed to climb. I found the loot system just lead to busywork, swapping out gear, and it really deflates the anticipation of coming across a chest. "Yay, a battle axe that does 70% of the damage of my equipped weapon!" I also dug the first game's post-apocalyptic setting, particularly chucking cars at demons, but there's way less of that in the sequel. The Zelda style puzzling is also much better in the first game. And if you make it to the cliffhanger ending of the first game, it's quite disappointing to fire up the sequel and discover that it's a midquel that ends in the exact same spot as the first game. The third game also apparently takes place parallel to the previous games' events (and it's a huge piece of shit), so I guess we'll never see the story continue.

      Editing … Like I still enjoyed Darksiders II, but I still haven't beaten it all these years later, and I don't expect it to win over anyone who didn't like the first game.

      Editing … I love post-apocalypses, but I'm finding the Darksiders setting to be really drab. Destroying cars for souls feels like mindless busywork to me. Well, maybe this series just isn't for me. The combat might be the biggest issue though, how different is it in the second game?

      Editing … It's pretty much the equivalent of switching from Dante to Vergil in a DMC game; the same, but different. Death has a much more distinct dodge animation, similar to Legend of Zelda's rolls and flips. It's much more satisfying than War's lunge animation. War is limited to 3 weapons for the entire game, but Death has access to 8 different secondary weapon types. I also just generally prefer Death's more varied moveset, whereas a lot of War's combos just kind of blend together.

      Editing … I haven't played DMC... Death's roll does look good though. So does his parkouring. I like the loot idea if anything's worthwhile, too. As my Borderlands co-op partner says, all he has to do is look at loot, and I basically teleport right in front of him...
