The Darksiders 2 Deathinitive Edition is the second game in the Darksiders series and specifically is the remastered version of Darksiders 2. In short, it is a very interesting game with a nice plot, rich and equally engaging lore. I should emphasize at this point that I did not purchase the game but downloaded it for free as it was available as a PS Plus game for December 2017; however, I believe it is worth the 15-16 or roughly 20€ that the title ranges at. More specifically:
-Story: We are in a time where the Apocalypse has occurred and now the human race has been destroyed following the battle of angels and demons. Amidst all this, the protagonist of the game, Death, one of the four horsemen of the Apocalypse, tries to vindicate his brother War, who is unjustly accused by the council of ancient beings of having deliberately brought about the Apocalypse prematurely and consequently the destruction of humanity. The story is very interesting and original, but to fully understand it, anyone interested should have either played or followed a walkthrough of Darksiders (the first title). This may be a downside as I only fully understood the story after reading the plot of the first game.
-Gameplay: Objectively, the game shows somewhat its age, having been released in 2012, and despite the remaster, the design and characters of the game look like they "escaped" from WorldOfWarcraft, there are many points where the game struggles to perform on the PS4 as I encountered many frame drops (screen freezes) and bugs, one of which prevented me from finishing a boss fight, although I eventually managed. So in 2018, there are definitely "prettier" and more polished remasters on the market. Nevertheless, as for the duration, I would say that the game is satisfactory, especially if someone engages with the side quests, reaching about a month of gameplay. At the same time, it is worth mentioning that the powers that Death has are particularly fun, which can be upgraded after each level, as well as the puzzles it offers (some of which require special thought, so patience).
In conclusion, Darksiders 2 Deathinitive Edition is certainly not one of the best or flawless remasters out there, but at this price, it definitely offers a unique experience that those who did not purchase the title at its initial release or those interested in games with rich lore and original storyline can enjoy. Admittedly, this particular game drew my attention to the Darksiders series and made me look forward to the release of Darksiders 3.
