First of all, "Death-initive", really?! Dear oh dear.
Anyway, Darksiders II follows Death, the Hot Topic brother of War, who sets out on an adventure to prove that War didn't start the Apocalypse in the previous game but almost immediately gets sidetracked by a gloopy black tar called Corruption that is spreading across the cosmos. Whereas the first game was a Zelda-clone, Darksiders II is more of a Diablo-esque action RPG. The combat is a fast-paced hack-and-slash affair and everything in the game sheds loot for Death to pick up and slap on himself like a haphazard amateur armourer. Watch out though because it's easy to break the game as it struggles to keep up with your damage output! Much bigger than the first game, Darksiders II gives us a bunch of open world stages with quests to find and collectibles to hoover up, although the budget clearly ran out towards the end.
