*******IF YOU ARE HAVING ISSUES WITH THE ACHIEVEMENTS ON THIS GAME NOT UNLOCKING, READ AT THE END OF THE REVIEW*******

What a marvelous game this was. Everyone kept talking to me about it back then but I simply thought it was another repetitive hack and slash game. Turns out it is not. It is a very well done combination between The Legend of Zelda and Devil May Cry with RPG elements to it.

Gameplay is fluent and surprisingly addictive while it maintains it's action packed sections and also with puzzle solving in dungeons. There is not much place to get lost, and it is "kinda" linear, now, you can still backtrack and get items you couldn't get before, like places you cannot reach without an specific item, very much like Metroid in a sense. Music is outstanding and also the voice acting, included Mark Hamill himself.

Graphics are well done for a game of it's era, so no dissapointment there. Just stay away from the Warmastered Edition which has a lot of bugs.

9/10

******ACHIEVEMENTS NOT UNLOCKING?******

Turns out the main game it's "glitched" so follow these steps so you can have them unlocked Legit:

1) Make sure Darksiders is the FIRST game you load from Steam. If you played another one before, exit out of Steam, log back in, and launch the game.

2) While in game, NEVER use Steam overlay, you're better off disabling it for it.

3) NEVER ALT TAB out of the game.

If you follow these 3 steps, your achievements will unlock properly when you get them.
