Darksiders (2010) might not offer gameplay as complex or polished as its many inspirations, but it does provide an unashamedly over-the-top story, memorable characters, distinct aesthetics, and a varied gameplay loop that does a little bit of everything well enough. It’s rare that a jack-of-all-trades game would score above 7/10, but I feel it excels at mashing together several ideas and scratching multiple itches at once.

0:00 - Intro
1:18 - War goes to war with everybody
3:13 - Style and consistency
4:49 - Cleaving apart demons and angels is fun…
6:23 - …but I prefer the other gameplay elements
9:05 - There’s nothing wrong with being derivative if you do it well
