Paul Bryant writes: Going into The Darkness II, I wasn’t really sure what to expect, especially considering the change of developers and the fact that the last game was released nearly 4 years ago. I’m glad to say that Digital Extremes has done a really nice job modernizing the series and following up where Starbreeze left off. So if you’re looking for something a little different from your typical modern combat or science fiction-themed first person shooters, The Darkness II is a great alternative.
Hunble Bundle is currently offering free copies of The Darkness 2 for the next 48 hours. The Darkness 2 is an intense first person shooter that – according to its description – delivers a twisted and gripping narrative of tragedy, modern crime drama, and supernatural horror.
This is why I don't buy video games anymore. I have a huge Steam backlog and developers are gracious enough to offer their products for free. Fortnite is free, Darkness is free, lots of good free games. Thanks Humble

Now we are seeing even more additions being made."
I suppose like any game, if you are a fan, or if you've never played the game before, then it's worth it. The Darkness 2 is worth a replay for sure, but I'd really like the original game to be added to the list. The Darkness was one of my favorite experiences last gen.
I hope Spec-Ops: The Line gets the 4K enhancement like some of the backwards compatible titles have. I love that game.
The Darkness II has received some huge price cuts, the game is currently available at just $5.99 on Steam, 85% lower than its original price $39.99.
I had a blast with the 1st one. It was perfect. The 2nd not that much, was pretty forgettable tbh and the cell shading, although beautiful, was not my kind of tea
That said, if they make a 3rd one they should make it a bit closer to the original's...vibe and looks.
are we talking switch ports again or why is another lastGen game in the headlines?
I personally enjoyed this one more than first game (even though I think first one is good too)
