I do like a little bit more puzzle in my Darksiders and this one was definitely more combat focused. Although it took me a while to warm to it, the combat is quite fun. Building up Strife's combo meter to unleash stronger shots is very satisfying. There's new moves and ammo to unlock and if you're into replaying the stages, there's a lot of options for leveling up. The story is probably going to continue annoying fans for being another prequel after sitting on a cliffhanger since the original game in 2010. That said, I actually wouldn't mind a game focused on Strife in a format closer to the other games. What a weird series this has been though.
