Hi guys! Today I will talk about Darksiders Warmastered Edition. It’s a game I recently played even though it has come out years ago, but the Darksiders franchise is very popular and proved itself as it survived for so many years.
As always, the review will have four parts, firstly I will talk about the storyline, then about the gameplay, afterward, I will talk about the visuals and finally, I will tell you my personal thoughts and give you a rating for the game from 0-10 (10 being the best).

Storyline
The story of Darksiders Warmastered edition focuses on War, one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse who was accused of doing something that he shouldn’t have done and his adventures as he tries to prove his innocence.
There, I think that sums up the story pretty much without spoiling any details. The story isn’t something amazing, but it’s still a good story that will keep you interested in the game.
Gameplay
The thing that is most important is how the game works and what to expect from it.
Let’s start with the combat.
The combat of Darksiders reminded me of
The game knows that it’s a hack and slash game and the developers made sure that the game has combat that is worthy of the genre.
Besides the combat, there are a lot of puzzles in the game, and whether that is a good or a bad thing it depends on the person playing the game.
Personally, I am not a fan of puzzles in games, I find them fun sometimes but excess use of them is something I don’t particularly like, and I feel this game has more puzzles than I would like.
Darksiders is a semi-open world game meaning that while it is somewhat open-world its restrictive enough that you can’t call it a true open-world game.
The game has a lot of different locations and you will face a different kind of enemies depending on the location you are fighting in.
The variety of enemies keeps the combat interesting since you have to change your approach depending on the enemy you face.
Having a short enemy roaster would make the game feel boring very fast. This game is like a combination of Zelda and God of War, and those of you that like those kinds of games will surely find this game interesting.
Visuals
The graphics of the Darksiders Warmastered Edition have definitely improved over the original Darksiders game that was released in 2010 but the game still looks like it was made for the previous generation of consoles.
That said the graphics are pretty decent and I don’t believe they will bother you that much. I personally love amazing graphics in-game, but I still found the game enjoyable even though it has dated graphics.
The art style is very interesting and there are a lot of locations you will visit that look completely different from one another.
The developers have surely put a lot of effort making sure that the locations feel unique and are fun to explore.

Final Thoughts
It’s time for my final thoughts.
Primarily, I have to say that Darksiders Warmastered Edition is a good game, I believe that is something that most people who played this game will agree on.
It isn’t something you haven’t seen before, but it’s a good experience whatsoever.
The combat is enjoyable, and you have a lot of options when it comes to fighting enemies.
There is a variety of enemies that keep the game interesting and while the graphics are dated, they are decent, and they won’t bother you at all as you play the game.
That said I recommend buying the game when it’s on sale because I don’t believe it is worth the full price if you compare it to games that have come out the last few years.
Those of you that love the hack and slash genre won’t be disappointed, that I am pretty certain.
For the rest of you, I still recommend this game, but if you have doubts you can still view some gameplay videos and decide for yourself whether this game is something that you will enjoy or not.
Final Verdict
Storyline: 8.8
Gameplay: 8.5
Visuals: 7.5
General Rating: 8.2
