A remastered version of the 2012 release, Darksiders II. Awakened by the End of Days, Death, the most feared of the legendary Four Horsemen, embarks upon a quest to restore mankind, and redeem his brother's name. Along the way, the Horseman discovers that there are far worse things than an earthly Apocalypse, and that an ancient grudge may threaten all of Creation. Darksiders II follows the exploits of Death, one of the four horsemen of the Apocalypse, in an action-packed tale that runs parallel to the events in the original Darksiders game. This epic journey propels Death across an expansive gameworld as he tries to redeem his brother, War, the horseman blamed for prematurely starting the Apocalypse in Darksiders. Like the original Darksiders game before it, the second iteration of the series is primarily a hack 'n slash adventure. The game takes place across netherworld environments, including 'The White city', an outpost where angels live, and 'The Eternal Throne', a floating fortress where the Lords of the Dead stand guard over souls that need to be cleansed. Although Death is the most feared of the Four Horsemen, his physical abilities are very different than his brother, War. Death is far more nimble, and relies on a combination of melee and ranged attacks. In combat Death's primary weapon is his huge iconic scythe, with a wide range of other weapons and usable items that must be gathered as the game progresses. Weapons can be dual-wielded, upgradable armor can be acquired for protection and Death has access to his terrifying and powerful mount, Despair.

Had this been bundled with a remastered version of Darksiders, the package would be perfect. As it stands, it's just a slightly better version of an already brilliant game.

Darksiders 2 is the best entry in the current Darksiders trilogy, and the Switch version, while not perfect, is a great way to experience it. Now we just need Darksiders 3 on Switch so I can take this entire excellent series everywhere I go.

Darksiders II Deathinitive Edition is a classic so it's great to see it on Switch, especially because it runs so well on it. If you enjoy 3D action adventure games then you should definitely sharpen your scythes and give it a try.

Die Deathinitive Edition Darksiders 2 ist die bisher beste Fassung des Action-RPG’s und überzeugt nicht nur mit grafischen Neuerungen. Durch das verbesserte Balancing und die Verteilung des Loots werden auch Veteranen ihren Spaß mit der neuen Version haben. Der Titel hat natürlich auch immer noch seine Schwächen, durch die schlecht umgesetzten Kletterpassagen und teilweise fehlerhaften Charakter Animationen, aber ansonsten gibt es von uns eine klare Empfehlung für Action-RPG Fans die eine neue Herausforderung suchen. Darksiders 2 erscheint in der Deathinitive Edition für Playstation 4 und Xbox One am 27.
