Fun series that decided to chase trends. I can't think of a single thing this series does that a different one doesn't do significantly better.

First game was decent
Second game was mediocre
Third game was mediocre
Genesis was alright in coop but sucked alone

> 1 was an alright Zelda clone
> 2's first act was pretty good that peaked at the Guardian boss fight, act 2 was mid as fuck and after that, it was pretty apparent their money and vision ran out
> never bothered with the rest

Everybody who liked the game was basically waiting for 4-player co-op Zelda, but they never got there in time. Now other games like Genshin filled that potential niche (even if poorly) and nobody gives a shit about it anymore.

Actually it was ahead of it's time. Darksiders 2 pretty much pioneered the whole diablo style loot garbage we see in games nowadays and RPG mechanics.

It's kind of crazy to think that Darksiders 2 basically invented the modern AAA slop formula:
>Simplistic style over substance third person action game
>Large open maps with nothing in them where you just ride your horse from one mission marker to the next
>Pointless RPG mechanics with Diablo loot that barely affects the way you play (1.3% Crit Chance)
>Brainless "Puzzles" introduced by a camera showing you how to solve them or the character muttering the solution to himself
>Pointless dialog options that have no impact
Really the only thing that's missing is light "stealth" mechanics meaning you crouch down in a patch of huge grass blades and press the instant kill button on enemies that are always facing away from you.

mid-tier as fuck and overly formulaic in the way the game brutally drags the player through every little gimmick they add, from start to finish. Make disney story writers blush with envy.

I don't even hate these games, but the more I think about it. Maybe I do hate these games. They kinda piss me off just thinking about it. I'm glad its over.

KYS tendie nobody came here to talk about your faggot mario party bullshit. What's with you fucking losers injecting nintendo slop into every conversation. Just fuck off. Grow up or die, but pick only one.

Are you sure it wasn't Diablo that pioneered this style of loot garbage?

1 was okay.
2 was worse because it was just 1 but with more repetition, large boring empty "open world" segments, and a dogshit loot system. Death was really cool though.
3 was just straight up fucking awful. And the way they censored Fury was beyond comical.
