Guru Reviews – Darksiders II, 
What’s that? This game is old! Yes we know that, but it’s a title that Larry has been hankering to do for quite some time, a game that he feels was criminally looked over by a lot of gamers, possibly because as a sequel, they thought it would be “more of the same” of Darksiders 1, when nothing could be further from the truth! It’s more Zelda-meets-Prince of Persia-meets-Shadow of the Colossus!!! (with some Portal thrown in for good measure!)
So check out what the Guru truly feels about this possible future classic.

Darksiders II Review
While reviewing Darksiders II and playing as Death, Johnny got the Plague, but couldn't come up with a Famine joke. This means War. Especially with a Blue Oyster Cult reference in the subtitle below the thumbnail up top.

I liked Darksiders one at first but got tired of all the puzzle elements. Are there less puzzles in Darksiders two?

So if it’s not japanese people will not find it good? Fuckers…

Well, there seems to be this mentality that if it’s from Japan people will take a chance on it/notice it more for no other reason that it’s Japanese.
I feel a lot of Western developers, especially smaller American ones get shitcanned just because of their nationality.

Sorry but I have disagree about DS2, its just not very good. The game is padded especially in the dungeons, feels rushed in the later bits, the story is bland and boring, and there are too many simple yet time consuming puzzles.
The original was enjoyable but this was just disappointing.

Well it’s opinion really, I can’t stand God of War games. So I vastly preferred the sequel.

Oh I’m not saying your wrong, just that I felt the first game was better.

Goodness, No I didn’t think you were implying that at all. I’m really not a fan of “god of war” games as I hate hammering on the buttons constantly, my hands begin to ache after a while.
Arkham City had that effect on me too, I didn’t like the fact they put WAY too much combat into it. I really liked the Metroidvania aspect of the original.

That’s fair enough, I just didn’t like that you spend more time with the simple puzzles trying to get three of something to progress more than actually fighting stuff.
The first game had a better balance of puzzles and combat and felt more like a Zelda game than God of War to me. It took some flak for taking ideas from those two games but it did a better job doing so than in DS2 in my opinion.

Well then it’s a good thing the first DS is nothing like God of War. And did you just call Raziel from SR Azrael?

Darksiders 1 really felt more like a Zelda clone with a jump button to me. Then again i haven’t played god of war, maybe that is a zelda clone too.
I also found Darksiders 2 to be a little bland. It felt like a very generic action RPG to me.
