Darksiders Genesis

ЛАБИРИНТ ЗАБРАЛ МНOГO ВРКМЕНИ

A much worthier sequel (prequel?) to the first two Darksiders games. You finally get to play as Strife in a 2.5D co-op game with twin stick controls, next to War who controls much like he did in Darksiders 1. The aesthetics fit the setting much better, even if you are confined to very similar levels in variations of Demonic Sewer number 1, 2 and 3 but when the game finally decides to show off something else, you are in for an angelic treat. Finally we have some horse gameplay, and right from the start as well. Much like Darksiders 2, you have areas where you cannot mount up and are forced to go on foot but the level design generally makes up for it with engaging maps, and fun puzzles aside from a few really annoying platforming ones (I'm looking at you, Leviathan's Landing) because this game is NOT very good at platforming despite demanding pixel perfect executions of some puzzles - unless your game handles like superior platforming titles, don't expect your 2.5D perspective to offer your players a fun, fluid platforming experience. The writing is Marvel-tier quips but War does not feel too out of character compared to previous characterisations of him. The writers didn't fully remember that majority of the story NPCs are ones we've met before, which makes this prequel awkward at times with regards to lore but overall that doesn't really matter as it largely doesn't reduce the amount of fun I'm having within the setting. I've been playing it solo so I cannot vouch for whether the co-op is fun or fluid. My biggest issue is largely the camera. All other Darksiders titles have had issues with the camera as well but the 2.5D perspective more often than not feels like an enemy on its own. Get it on sale and you'll have a fun weekend with a buddy.

If you loved the Darksiders story then this is a great game to wet your lips while you wait for Darksiders IV. The humor between Strife and War is entertaining. The combat is pretty fluid. It is nothing mind blowing, but it is a highly decent game for sure. And if you are new to the Darksiders saga, this is an interest place to start because it is the beginning to the Darksiders I, II, and III.

When Darksiders Genesis was announced, I was incredibly excited because we were finally getting to see the last Horseman, Strife. That excitement faded a little when I realized it was going to be a co-op spin-off instead of the solo adventure I had been hoping for. While I enjoy War and he's every bit as badass as ever, I still feel Strife deserved his own standalone story. That said, Genesis does a lot of things right. The atmosphere is fantastic, and the soundtrack perfectly captures the dark, apocalyptic feel the series is known for. The story is enjoyable and fits well within the Darksiders universe, but it never really gives us the deeper look into Strife's personality and motivations that I was hoping for. He's charismatic and entertaining, yet there's clearly more beneath the surface that remains unexplored. The upgrade system is another highlight. Progression feels rewarding, and unlocking new abilities and enhancements has a meaningful impact on gameplay instead of feeling like minor stat increases. It encourages experimentation and makes both Horsemen more fun to play. My biggest disappointment, aside from the lack of a solo Strife story, is the visual presentation. While the art direction still feels like Darksiders, the graphics themselves seem like a step back compared to previous entries. The isometric perspective works well for gameplay, but the environments and overall visual fidelity don't have the same impact as the earlier games. Overall, Darksiders Genesis is a fun action game with great combat, an excellent soundtrack, and a solid progression system. Even though I enjoyed my time with it, I couldn't shake the feeling that Strife deserved more than sharing the spotlight. I still hope he'll eventually get the standalone game he's always deserved. Recommended. 8/10

If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to balance the serious edgelord energy of War with the insufferable "Merc with a Mouth" wannabe vibes of Strife, look no further. Darksiders Genesis is essentially a top-down co-op therapy session set against the backdrop of the demon-slaying apocalypse. The gameplay shift to an isometric perspective makes it feel less like a grand Darksiders adventure and more like a prettier, slightly more action-oriented Diablo clone. You’ll spend hours grinding for "Creature Cores," a system designed to make you murder thousands of the same enemy types for minor stat boosts. It’s perfect for turning off your brain and embracing the mindless violence while listening to Strife’s endless, poorly-timed wisecracks. The story is a prequel that attempts to flesh out the lore, but ultimately highlights that the dreaded Horsemen are basically errand boys for the Charred Council, cleaning up messes they didn't even start. The real challenge, however, isn't the bosses—it's fighting the camera angles and wondering why War takes himself so damn seriously. Verdict: 8/10. Highly recommended for ruining friendships in co-op mode as you argue over who gets to play Strife and not actually try in combat.

Дуже класна гра, проходити її з другом було одне задоволення складність 3-4/10. Але якщо вирішите вибити 100% досягнень, як такі довбні як ми то запасіться терпінням. Складність — приблизно 8/10, а паркур у грі місцями просто жахливий. На одному випробуванні ми витратили майже 4 години. Щиро бажаю автору цього паркуру пройти його ще раз... але вже в пеклі В усьому іншому гра чудова. Однозначно рекомендую, особливо якщо є з ким проходити. Гру проходили на DualSense. Повна підтримка контролера, усе працює чудово

Muito divertido, mesmo sendo bem diferente dos outros jogos da franquia. Recomendo jogar em co-op local para a experiência ficar 100%. Valeu a pena comprar sim, especialmente em promoção!

Gosto muito desse jogo!! é o melhor da franquia até agora

ИДЕАЛЬНАЯ RPG на двох. Сюжет прикольный. Механики интересные, но головоломки сложные. Я искал игру для 2 на 1 экране и нашёл это чудо. Всем рекомендую.
