Game Analysis | Darksiders is a single-player action adventure in which the player takes control of the protagonist, War. In third-person perspective, the player engages in combat, puzzles and exploration. The world is divided into separate locations with many areas at first initially inaccessible until War regains many of his lost weapons and abilities. The center of the world, The Scalding Gallow, acts as a hub where War is given new objectives and paths to further unlock new areas. Each contains a series of linear and non-linear paths, many of which require large sections of platforming, climbing and swimming along environment-based puzzles that impair progress that require the use of newly-gained abilities. He fights mainly against Angels and demons, and has a unique way to kill each particular type of enemy, usually tearing them apart painfully. | |

Combat system works well
Nice blend of fighting and puzzles
Fun gameplay
Nothing that sets it apart from other games in the genre
Some puzzles aren't intuitive
Average graphics
Simplistic storyline
I found Darksiders to be pretty average overall. Enjoyable, but average. The story is pretty typical of the genre and did nothing to pull me in, the graphics aren’t impressive for the date of release and the gameplay is rather simplistic. It’s a fun game to play. The combat isn’t anything special but works well, while the puzzles throughout the game are (for the most part) well done and add a bit of depth to the game.
Conclusion: I got Darksiders while it was free on PSN and although i’m glad i didn’t pay for it i’m also glad i tried it, as it’s not a bad game by any means. Worth playing if you enjoy other games within the genre.
