If you remember those early platformers that made you grow a fondess for video games as a young kid, like Megan Man and Contra, this is the game for you. Add a perfect soundtrack and beautiful art, and it's hard not to love this one.

Just buy this game and play it, people on the internet haven't turned it into an obsession for nothing. But don't hurt anyone!

Despite a couple of rather annoying problems, this really is a fun and enjoyable game. Darksiders is a dungeon adventure game that takes many elements from the Legend of Zelda, and this second game also happens to have a few RPG elements as well.

As good as the game itself is, sadly this is a pretty poor PC port. The textures are blurry, the game crashes on occasion, and a couple of things simply don't feel as smooth as they should on the PC. But if you can get past these inconveniences, you'll enjoy yourself. Oh, I'd also recommend playing the game on the hardest difficulty, as any other difficulty is kind of a joke.

This game is not worth more than the humble bundle I received it in. It is the definition of a backlog game. You know, one of those games in your steam list that you never get around to playing. The only reason I even played it is because it's a mindless, linear slashfest to hack away at while skyping with friends.

It is essentially a stripped down Diablo clone. You play as one of the three generic classes, and then walk through some of the most linear level design you will ever experience (except for the first level, which is for some weird reason a maze). You just grab some gear, level up some skill points, and go forward. That's it; nothing else to it. Perhaps it would have been even the tiniest bit better if you could do co-op, but it's LAN only. Yeah, a game from 2012 on the PC is LAN only.

If you managed to get this game for a dollar or something, maybe it's worth trying it out for an hour to see what you think of it. But your time would be better spent on any of the other Diablo-ish games out there, like Path of Exile, Van Helsing, or, you know, Diablo. But otherwise, don't bother.
