Is it still worth playing?
Released in August 2012 for Windows, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, and for the Wii U in November, this action role playing hack and slash game is the second Darksiders. The player is Death, one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, who tries to clear the name of his brother War, accused of wiping out humanity. Its core is hack and slash combat with interactive puzzle elements that need levers, doors, elevators and portals to be used to traverse areas and reach objectives. The maps are vast, with open world regions that can be explored freely on foot or on his horse, Despair, and numerous dungeons where quest objectives are generally carried out. Fast travel lets the player teleport to certain map points instantly. A horseman with a world to ride across is still a lively way to explore.
