Game Overview:

Darksiders is back with a new protagonist; Death, the most feared of the four horsemen, who you may also know as the Grim Reaper as he battles his way through the land between Heaven and Hell. As War is on Earth trying to clear his name after the Charred Council claimed that he triggered the apocalypse on Earth, Death tries to give his brother a hand at clearing his name but a new threat emerges, one which threatens all of existence.

If you played the original Darksiders, prepare to completely change the way you approach the sequel as Death is an entirely new beast. War was a slow, tank-like warrior who would simply block any incoming attack however Death is agile and incapable of blocking, instead he dives out of the way of incoming attacks and is capable of causing massive damage in an extremely short time, don’t hang around enemies to long though as Death will quickly get his ass handed to him if caught by an attack.
