It looks gorgeous, too, just like the PC version does at max settings. I’ve been playing Darksiders Genesis on Xbox One X, and while it’s a shame that there’s no option to run the game at 60fps, it sticks to its 30fps target like glue for the most part only when playing in split-screen co-op have I noticed a tiny bit of screen-tearing. Also, it’s a real shame that the game doesn’t have matchmaking or support true drop-in, drop-out co-op. Unfortunately some issues I previously encountered still exist, like the way that camera sometimes obscures your view.

There are less bugs, an additional difficulty level has been added, and there are slight changes throughout that overall simply make it a better game than it was in December 2019. Landing months after the PC release on PS4, Xbox One and Switch, Darksiders Genesis‘ console ports benefit from updates made to the game since release. Either way, you’re sure to become engrossed. In co-op, the game is tweaked in ways to make it imperative that you work as a team. When playing alone, switching characters is easy, and you’ll be doing so often to make the most of each character’s strengths. It’s fast-paced, there’s both melee and ranged combat, platforming plays a large role, and those brain-teasing puzzles are pitched just perfectly. It’s the variety packed into Darksiders Genesis that makes it so enjoyable.

Many of them you won’t be able to obtain the first time around, so you’ll need to return at a later date once you have some new tools at your disposal. And each mission is also ripe with upgrades and collectables for you to discover. Along the way you’ll acquire souls, which can be used to purchased a wealth of additional skills or useful items from Vulgrim. Genesis gives players their first look at the world of DARKSIDERS before the events of the original game, as well as introduces the horseman STRIFE.Across 17 missions, it’s your job to solve puzzles, defeat enemies big and small, and conquer dungeons all in the name of figuring out what exactly Lucifer is up to.

War and Strife must hunt down these masters, gather information, and ultimately fight their way through a tangled, demonic conspiracy that threatens to forever upset the Balance and unravel all of creation.ĭARKSIDERS: GENESIS is an action/adventure that tears its way through hordes of demons, angels, and everything in-between on its way to Hell and back with guns blazing and swords swinging. Still reeling from the events on Eden, WAR and STRIFE have been given a new assignment - LUCIFER, the enigmatic and deceptive demon king, has been plotting to upset the Balance by granting power to master demons throughout Hell. What followed was a bloody battle on Eden where the Horsemen, obeying the will of the Council, annihilated the Nephilim. However, this power came at a tragic cost: the Horsemen were ordered to use their newfound strength to wipe out the rest of their kind. Carrying out their orders are THE HORSEMEN, Nephilim (powerful beings spawned from the unnatural union of angels and demons) who have pledged themselves to the Council and been granted immense power. From the dawn of creation, THE COUNCIL has maintained the Balance across existence.
