About
Inspired by the popular comic book series produced by Top Cow Productions, Inc., The Darkness II is an intense first person shooter that delivers a twisted and gripping narrative of tragedy, modern crime drama, and supernatural horror.
Players will be taken down the brutal and personal path of Jackie Estacado, head of a New York crime family and wielder of an ancient and ruthless force of chaos and destruction known as The Darkness.
It’s been two years since Jackie Estacado used The Darkness to kill the men responsible for his girlfriend’s murder. He’s been unable to shake the memory of Jenny’s death since bottling up his supernatural power and now The Darkness wants out. A sudden, unprovoked attack by a mysterious organization known as the Brotherhood heralds the start of a full-scale war and opens the door for The Darkness to reemerge, setting Jackie on a journey to hell and worse.

straight foward FPS. the darkness perks are cool, the gunplay could be a little more polished, and there are some difficulty imbalances, but overall its a good for 6 hours of fun for a very cheap product, totally worth it

Infravalorado. Muy divertido, edgy y con un estilo visual precioso. Una joya oculta. Me he comido un bug que me a tirado coomo una hora solucionar y casi desinstalo el juego. Afortunadamente lo he podido solucionar, me abria jodido porque realmente me esta gustando mucho
funny eel tentacle game
[b]Pros[/b] [list] [*] +Nice art style [*] +Fun gameplay [*] +Two campaigns to play through (one features co-op, but both can be played solo) [/list] [b]Cons[/b] [list] [*] -Intro cinematic is way too loud (thankfully, there are ways to skip/remove it) [*] -Controls can be clunky; I accidentally picked up weapons from the ground multiple times during the main campaign [/list] [b]Comments[/b] The Darkness II is a first-person shooter that takes place after the events of the original game. Unfortunately, the first Darkness was never released on PC. While I was able to follow the plot of the sequel without playing the original, I didn't have much interest in the story. The gameplay is where the game shines. On top of dual-wielding firearms, you control two demon arms that grant you extra abilities. Using weapons and demon powers simultaneously is fun, though the controls could be better. I frequently swapped my weapons with random ones on the ground by accident, which got annoying after a while. In addition to the story, there is the Vendetta campaign, which supports co-op but can also be played entirely solo (which is how I played it). It lets you choose between four different characters, each with their own unique abilities. Even though these characters lack the demon arms, the mode is still fun to play through and feels much more gameplay-focused than the main campaign. Overall, if you’re looking for an FPS, I recommend taking a look at this game when it’s on sale. It’s on the shorter side, but it’s worth trying when it’s on sale.
Bellooo!
Short and sweet Linear FPS that has nice character to it with its art-style and voice acting. I was able to complete it within 8hrs and I plan on running it again on NG+ just for the gameplay alone as the 'quad wielding' is so much fun and adds a good amount of creativity and gore when going through the levels. I always wanted to play this back when it first released but didn't have the big boy funds for that at the time and I gotta say personally it still holds up well even to this day. Would definitely recommend getting on sale if possible as 30 is a bit much IMO.
