Darksiders - Finally available on Steam in the UK - £5

Just had a 2 hour blast on this and its pretty good - as most have said, very similar to God Of War.

Hack and slash, rinse, repeat.



I say buy it, worth the £5.

It started like that but a little further in the game it turns into a sort of puzzle dungeon game. Like Zelda you gain new items to solve puzzles

I was kinda bored of the combat but the puzzle elements in the dungeon are bloody great,

This is a quality game and a Genre that the PC never sees

Yep, its amazing.
It's like a more gorey version of Ocarina of time.
 
I'm not far in but that does sound good - currently looking for the bat woman in the Cathedral, so no real puzzles yet.

I'm loving the game, for £5 it is a steal!

Is the game hard?

For a first play through what difficulty setting you think is a good balance of fun + challenge?

Normal at a push as some of the later fights get amazingly unforgiving. Theres a few sections where you get mobs which are immune to being damaged until they "phase in" and immediately do a very heavy hitting unblockable attack which you must get out of the way of, or you lose nearly 1 and 1/2 health bars, and thats on easy lol. You get 2/3 of these at once with other enemies as well very late in the game which complicate things massively.

I've died a daft amount of times against some of the bigger enemies on this due to not being nimble enough with the controls to get out of the way instantly lol.
 
Been playing this a lot on the hardest setting, just got around to getting Ruin. Excellent game so far, I wish there were more games like this for the PC.

It's not so bad when you get the Abyssal Armour.

Saw the game in the steam sale and wasnt particularly interested. Your Zelda comparison got me interested though and Im loving it so far. Thanks! :D
 
If anyone else is still on the fench, this game is fantastic. Really, really well made and thought out game in my opinion. Great story line, and great balance between hack and slash and puzzle solving.

I literally lost 5 hours to it the other night. Sat down at 5pm, after 15mins checked the time to see it was 10pm :/
 
Excellent game, very much worth the money. Any fans of Zelda won't be disappointed, there's also some fun with Portal too!
 
I'm loving the game, it usually takes me all my time to finish a game & I'm on my 2nd play through of Darksiders, the games even better on the 2nd play as I'd finally got the idea of what I was doing by the end of the 1st time round.

Looking forward to the follow up coming out as I'm assuming there will be one after how this one ends.
