Darksiders Genesis Reviews
Darksiders Genesis brings a new perspective tot the franchise. The fourth horseman is not alone. He brought his brother War for some co-op fun! The game is the most fun together, chopping up enemies and solving the puzzels. But alone you can navigate through hell and the story as well. The levels are not that special, but the fighting makes up for it. There are tons of moves and skills to unlcock to keep you playing way beyond the 15 hours the story takes to complete

Even though I'm a tad disappointed with Darksiders Genesis, there's no denying how solid of a game it is. Plus, it's fantastic that its cooperative component is handled as well as it is because playing it with a chum is definitely the way to go.
Darksiders Genesis is an incredibly solid adaptation of the IP that brings both War and Strife into a new genre without losing the heart of the franchise.
Airship Syndicate has created a game that both fans and those new to the series can jump into and have a great deal of fun. And thanks to co-op, it no longer has to be a solitary affair.
Despite of its camera angle, Genesis is a true Darksiders game and a good opportunity to try what it's like to be one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. Well, at least two of them.

There's a compelling story underneath all the hacking and slashing, with interesting characters and extremely well-done level design. The puzzles are very clever, something that I would expect from a Darksiders game, and there's simply a lot of content to enjoy throughout a nearly 15-hour playthrough.
Strife is as cool as I expected.

Hack and Slash with Horsemen of the Apocalypse is acceptable, but with some flaws and horrible camera.

Darksiders Genesis looks very much like the older games in Darksiders series, and even repeats their mistakes, such as camera problems. Nevertheless, solid visual design and good music that matches greatly with the game's tempo save the day and make Darksiders Genesis a very good game, but not one of the best in the genre.

Darksiders Genesis presents everything we like in the series with a twist, although the story isn't what we expected, its a decent first trial for the Diablo-like Action RPG formula that can be enjoyed with a Solo or with a friend.

Can't say it's the best one in Darksiders series, but still manages to deliver a highly enjoyable experience.

Darksiders Genesis gets a lot right. It has plenty of personality and a dynamic, engaging action system. Its only real problem is that it has tackled a thematic challenge that it can't deliver - hell should not be dull, empty or repetitive, and yet this game fails on all fronts there.
Darksiders Genesis marks a return to form for the series, with a classic experience underlying the shift in camera perspective and budget price tag. Some minor issues with controls during puzzles and navigation aren't enough to dampen enjoyment of this surprisingly great prequel spinoff.
Taking the series in an entirely new direction, Darksiders Genesis manages to stay true to the prior games whilst delivering in a totally different genre. A fun game let down by grindy character progression.
A fun spinoff of an amazing franchise, might as well become a stand alone franchise with the same mechanics and style. The game suffers from few minor camera and technical issues but it's still an even better game than games in its respective genre.

Despite using an isometric camera angle, Darksiders Genesis feels right at home and delivers the fast and fluid hack and slash experience that the previous games provided. the only problem with Darksiders Genesis is that some parts like platforming feel problematic and the puzzles are not as enjoyable as action sections.

Darksiders Genesis is a great game. I feel like the developers masterfully ticked every box on their design sheets, so they should be proud of this one. Unless the genre really turns you off or the occasional puzzle is a deal-breaker for you, Darksiders Genesis is definitely worth your money.
Darksiders Genesis is a great (and necessary) isometric hack 'n slash action game and manages, even though it is considered an spinoff, to keep all the essence of the franchise, while taking it to new and promising paths.
