Darksiders Genesis - First Impressions
I was honestly expecting to drop it outright after the first hour, but thankfully it actually started to show its cards before the refund period ended. It’s not exactly what I’d say is a good hack and slash, but it’s a competent one insofar. It has solid charm to its banter between War and Strife, strong fundamentals in terms of strafing around enemies and dashing between danger zones, and some neat setpieces.
It’s far from cohesive though, the aesthetic isn’t very good to me, and the visual information in general is kind of a mess. It’s got really solid enemies (my favorite so far is a mage that can deck half your health on Hard, which you really should play on) and fantastic animations, but it isn’t particularly deep.
Good enough at a bargain I’d say, but I’m putting this one on ice for a while. It’s alright
