Game review: Darksiders
There are a lot of games that have been released in the new year which depict the classical fight and the struggle between good and evil, darkness and light, God and devil. These are known as the ecumenical forces, the quintessential conflict between the good and the bad. This is what is promised in Darksiders which is a new Holy war version of a game. There are some aspects of the game that are good. For one, it is familiar, which means that you are in known territory and do not have to blunder on in new arenas. Similarly, this game is also a good concept for a sequel, which means that it is quite great for those who want to enjoy the salient aspects of the game that they had liked earlier.
The cons of the game are that it is not unique and does not really stand out from other games that have come in previously. The combat seems to be sound as far as technicalities go, but it is quite shallow. The lack of originality is one of the main drawbacks of the game as it draws inspiration from other games released previously. But all in all, it is a pleasant game with its moments of thrill and engagement which can hold you quite mesmerized.
