What A Sequel Should Be
Darksiders 2 does what a good sequel should. It brings back the parts that we liked about the original, fixes some of the things that were wrong with it and adds in lots of new stuff for us to toy with. All of it is interesting although sadly, some of it leads to a more few issues.
The big open world to ride around in is great, as are all the new touches with equipment and loot. Less good are the proliferation of game crashing bugs and the seemingly throwaway or underused characters.
Overall however, Darksiders 2 is a great success and the developers should be proud that they've made what is probably the best western produced Zelda-like game yet.
