As our John mentioned in his The Darkness II review:
“I used to be genuinely anticipating a brash, silly shooter, noise and bluster and taking pictures at heads. That it’s so sensible is a improbable shock. Without this, I believe the sport’s frustrations may need pushed it too deeply right into a crowded crowd. But it’s not with out this – and it’s enigmatic with it. I’ll clearly not spoiling the endings, however that ‘s’ simply there tells you one thing. And I’ll say that they’re good which is a hardly ever used phrase when speaking about how video games finish.
“It’s a decent, if overly-busy shooter, a cacophony of gore and screaming. But it’s also a surprisingly smart take on familiar territory, with some really interesting twists. I really was only expecting brains to feature when splattered across my monitor.”
Alec will inform you it’s considered one of those great 7/10 action games too.
