#DEATH REAPER FORM DARKSIDERS 2 UPDATE#
However, a lot of the original glitches from when the game first hit shelves are still present, and I experienced a couple of crashes along the way, too.Īs remasters go this is a relatively light one, the developers opting to just gently update the game rather than overhaul from the ground up. Stuttering now only occurs rarely, and isn’t very serious when it does. Since writing this review two updates have already been released to address this problem and have been almost completely successful. The one exception is stuttering that seems to be related to shadows.

With my rig (read the specs HERE) I was able to maintain 60FPS at 1080p with every turned up to max without any problem, and it seems older hardware should scale nicely. Speaking of which the options available to tweak settings on the PC version are very limited, and the lack of a PoV slider is especially frustrating given the game’s sometimes overly close camera, but performance in general is solid. Of course PC users were able to hit 60fps beforehand, so there’s no improvement there for anybody that already owns the PC version. For review I’m running the game on PC and can confirm that 60FPS makes the already fluid combat and environment traversal feel even better. Three years is a long time in videogames, so does Darksiders II still hold up? To that end I’m going to talk about the remaster specific elements first for those of you who just want to know if its worth double-dipping, and then tackle the rest of the game from a traditional review standpoint, asking if it’s something worth buying over other games currently available on the market.Ī major blow is that both the Xbox One and PS4 versions only run at a paltry 30FPS, which is slightly shocking considering the massive boost in hardware that both the modern consoles afford over their far weaker predecessors. Still, I wanted to revisit the game properly and try to see if it’s a game worth buying in today’s market since there’s potentially a lot of people out there whose first console has been an Xbox One or PS4 and have thus never played Darksiders II. Hell, it was probably a better review than I write these days, which only indicates that I’m somehow getting worse at this whole thing, a terrifying prospect since I’m hardly great at this anyway.

So how to approach this? I reviewed Darksiders II when it first came out and re-reading it I’m actually pretty happy with it. However, there’s nothing wrong with that provided it’s a good product that people will enjoy, and may finally result in a true sequel. The community didn’t need reactivated and this Deathinitive Edition does have the smell of Nordic simply wanting to earn some cash from a license that has been sitting there for a while now, especially since this is a pretty barebones remaster that clearly didn’t have too much time or money sunk into it. It doesn’t really make any sense, when you think about it. What’s clear is Darksiders II: The Deathinitive Edition is about, “reactivating the community” in the words of Nordic on the Steam forums, and getting them warmed up for Darksiders III. Indeed, it was even more surprising considering that the first Darksiders wasn’t going to get the same treatment. And then suddenly came word that Darksiders II was getting the remaster treatment, which was surprising since nobody had asked for it, not even the dedicated fans.

Talk of a sequel has been ongoing, but nothing concrete has thus far been announced.


From there the once mighty THQ empire fell, and after a while the rights to the Darksiders name was bought by Nordic Games, who also managed to snap up a lot of the game’s original developers and use them to found Gunfire. Sadly it didn’t do overly well commercially, despite a lot of good reviews and plenty of positivity from the people that did play it. When it came out in 2012 Darksiders II became one of my favorite games of the year.
