Awakened by the End of Days, Death, the most feared of the legendary Four Horsemen, embarks upon a quest to restore mankind, and redeem his brother's name. Along the way, the Horseman discovers that there are far worse things than an earthly Apocalypse, and that an ancient grudge may threaten all of Creation.
Death Lives
Darksiders II follows the exploits of Death, one of the four horsemen of the Apocalypse, in an action-packed tale that runs parallel to the events in the original Darksiders game. This epic journey propels Death across an expansive gameworld as he tries to redeem his brother, War, the horseman blamed for prematurely starting the Apocalypse in Darksiders.
Like the original Darksiders game before it, the second iteration of the series is primarily a hack 'n slash adventure. The game takes place across netherworld environments, including "The White city," an outpost where angels live, and "The Eternal Throne," a floating fortress where the Lords of the Dead stand guard over souls that need to be cleansed. Although Death is the most feared of the Four Horsemen, his physical abilities are very different than his brother, War. Death is far more nimble, and relies on a combination of melee and ranged attacks. In combat Death's primary weapon is his huge iconic scythe, with a wide range of other weapons and usable items that must be gathered as the game progresses. Weapons can be dual-wielded, upgradable armor can be acquired for protection and Death has access to his terrifying and powerful mount, Despair.

I found this to be a rather enjoyable game. I didn't complete it but played a good amount on wii u.
It's a standard hack and slash but with some rpg elements. Weapon damage, stats and elemental types.
It's worth a playthrough. I'll grab it when it's sub £10, as I got fallout 4, and just bought rare replay and dishonored dev edition and gotta get through the gears of war series on top.

Got the PS3 version. Can't see how the ps4 version is worth getting as the graphics are comic book like so won't look much better on ps4. I'll bite sub £10 for the extra dlc.

Great price for a great game. I had it preordered from Base for about £18/19 and am playing through it at the moment. Whilst the graphics are better, I didn't find myself thinking "oh wow, this is so much better" but I guess the last-gen version looked fantastic anyway.
Worth paying the price for an epic adventure and the additional DLC. Plenty of hack n slash action and puzzles, plus quests thrown in to keep you going back for more.
You don't need to play the first game to get into this but if you haven't yet played the first one and have a 360 or PS3 still then I'd certainly recommend picking it up for about a fiver preowned anyway.
