However, there is at least one problem that I find rather frustrating: The subtitles in cutscenes (Not the dialogue boxes, but actual cutscenes) are poorly timed. I never had a crash, at least, but even after patches, things are better – but not nonexistent. Framerate dips here and there, clipping into geometry and out of world – things like that. It runs well for the most part – but I can’t say I had no issues at all. On the technical side of things, though, is where things get a little bit hairy. The music is also decent, if a bit forgettable – though I do really like the game’s main theme. Connected and adjacent – sure, but not the same. They’re all distinct – no 2 areas feel the same. Levels are bright and vibrant – lots of color without being overbearing. Joe Madureira’s art style shines through quite well in 3D. Honestly – I’ve enjoyed the look of the entire series. The game is very pretty – I can’t deny that. The teams at Gunfire and Airship Syndicate are very talented artists. The game is pretty – as are the rest of the entries. It’s honestly a miracle the horsemen get anything achieved with the amount of dumbass energy all 4 of them exude. (Why do you think I love Yakuza so much? Majima + Kiryu is almost exactly that.) Sarcastic, chaotic dumbass with heart + Loyal, lawful dumbass is always a great dynamic. It has also definitely seated Strife as my favorite of the horsemen – especially paired against War’s straight-man act. It was a fun ride if a bit cliche (Like the rest of the series). Suffice it to say this is very much a Darksiders story that reveals some more detail about the goings-on of the other games, while also working to build out War and Strife (Best boy, btw) as characters. Genesis, as I mentioned, takes place before any of the other games – and it’s a little hard to talk about it as it also kind of spoils some events/reveals in later-timeline games.
#Darksiders genesis review series
The timeline for the series is a bit unclear as a whole, honestly (There’s a huge amount of time (I think like 200+ years?) after War was captured by The Council and locked away for bring about the literal apocalypse before it was time (Which is a whole thing that I won’t spoil if somehow you still haven’t played the original (And you should!)) – which is where Darksiders 2 & 3 take place, while Genesis is before all hell breaks loose in game 1.) Trusting him may not be the wisest option.Įvery game since the first has kind of been a prequel, taking place before or during the events of the first game – and Genesis is no different on that front, though it’s not entirely clear just how far in the past it is from Darksiders 1. Genesis‘ story mostly revolves around The Council sending War & Strife in to check on Samael and see if he’s in league with Lucifer.
