Michael Cripe: “The Darksiders franchise has been stuck in a rut since its inception. Many refer to the games as a hodgepodge of other genres, even if the series typically has strong art direction and story. The first Darksiders is seen as a ZeldaGod of War hybrid while the second implements RPG and combat mechanics reminiscent of the Dark Souls titles. Those who have seen Darksiders Genesiss gameplay reveal will notice the uncanny resemblance the game seems to have to Diablo. These preconceived opinions can be put to rest, as this Darksiders spin-off finally gives developer Gunfire Games a chance to capitalize on the seriess untapped personality.”
