I took it in addition on the last days of my origin subscription.
PROS: suitable controls for a slasher of the 2000s on PC, unlike the Japanese and their cult in terms of optimization for keyboards Devil May Cry
Variety of locations (hellish and industrial post-apocalyptic), and aesthetics (stone robots, pistols and heavy firearms a weapon that shoots God knows what in a medieval fantasy setting).
Whatever they say, before, open worlds and semi-open worlds played much better, and backtracking here was not at all annoying, on the contrary, it was nice to take a break from the plot every now and then and look for clues.
The plot is presented for an amateur (little is explained specifically, you need to interpret everything yourself), but most importantly it is still intriguing
MINUSES:
An extremely unsuccessful third quarter of the game in the palace where you need to free the angel from three shackles. I'm not even talking about the fact that the portal gun that shoots blue and orange portals is secondary, but how boring is this part, where there are only riddles, and the opponents are the aforementioned stone robot, which must be killed three times. Kills dynamism. Fortunately, by the end the portal gun completely disappears from the gameplay, thank you very much.
Crooked fast travel.
Unbalanced set of weapons. The arsenal is impressive, but only a couple of weapons from this will be useful directly in battle. Everything except the sword is more of a device for solving puzzles and destroying obstacles. The more often a weapon is used, the stronger it becomes (as they say in the game), so I simply didn’t want to “pump up” my scythe and fists from the beginning when I had already gone far enough.
A strong slasher from the seventh generation consoles, if you want to feel nostalgic for the aesthetics of PS3x360 games. The gameplay is challenging within reasonable limits, the plot is intriguing, so there are enough reasons to play and try to join the Darksiders universe
