IGN: The original Darksiders was a fun action game that had a great concept, but was written off by many as a God of War clone. However, the potential was massive, as the deep lore and engaging combat was a blast. In creating the sequel, the team at Vigil opted to include a lot of the elements that they simply weren't able to include in the first game, including a host of surprisingly deep RPG elements, tons of loot, and more fleshed out NPC characters to interact with. Darksiders II is shaping up to be another awesome take on the Apocalypse, but one that feels quite different from its predecessor.

"Vigil Games may not be around anymore but their 2 Darksiders games really raised the bar for 3D action adventure games. Let's take a look at both titles' gameplay and worlds and see which one emerges victorious." - A.J. Maciejewski from Video Chums
Darksiders 1 is a complete game but it’s obvious with Darksiders 2 they ran out of budget after the Ice world and the game just becomes a poorly paced mess.
The release date has been revealed for The Art of Darksiders II Hardcover Edition.
