Needless to say, Sunderboy wasn’t exactly in the same mindset of discovery that I found myself in, but I assured him that it was just me thinking out loud, nothing to worry about… but y’know, what would happen, d’y’think?Īfter this further pontification, Sunderkid was all kinds of nonplussed. And if that weren’t enough, Sunderman the younger knows all about it (or gets the general gist at least) and is 100% on board for these temporal escapades to come.īut, I get to thinking (and by I, I mean my character, the Last Castoff): what if I just straight up murderized the root Sunderman? I may have also said this out loud… in his presence… directly to him. So what we have here is a good ‘ol fashioned time loop. The thing of it is, this had all already happened to Youngderman, with his elder self teaching him his trade and giving dire (and cheeky) hints regarding his hapless future. Sunderman the young’un finds himself caught in a time stream that sends him into the past where he has himself an assortment of adventures and eventually finds himself back in the bloom, some years older, and willing to teach his younger self the ropes. The Freedman quest is officially complete!īut you see, the thing about Sunderman elder and Sunderman younger is that they’re both the same person. He’s happy, I’m happy, the Sunderman(s) is(are) happy, we’re all just happy campers. Well, after giving me his life’s story (and after resisting the temptation to order this sentient being to steal stuff for me), I decide I should find him a job to get his life on track.Įnter the Sundermans, or should that be singular?Īnyways, I find him a sweet gig at this little workshop, crafting all manner of dew-dads out of sticky Bloom meat. Now, this thing is all perfectly above board and all, but just for funsies I decide to purchase a slave (an ex-thief/murderer) illegally, under-the-table dealings and all that. So I’m in the Bloom, jaunting about in all its icky glory, when I run across a happy little slave auction. SIDE QUEST SPOILER ALERT FOR TORMENT: TIDES OF NUMENERA! Keep reading review game review darksiders dark souls soulsborne zelda But if I were to pin down what constituted a majority of my frustration with this title, it would be due to my experience playing games in the Soulsborne series over the past several months. Why has my impression of this game cooled somewhat? Well, for one thing, I think I’ve just gotten better at analyzing games over the years and also have less patience for clunky game design and shoddy controls. Now that I’ve played through it once again, and in an enhanced form that has largely left the gameplay as it was, I can say that Darksiders is a satisfactory blend of what is still one of my favorite franchises in gaming (Zelda), a franchise that I still like but haven’t touched in ages (God of War), and a bunch of half-baked contributions from other game types I don’t really care about (namely, rail shooters). Okay, more like a great blend of one of my favorite franchises and another franchise that I think is pretty good. It felt like a perfect blend of some of my favorite franchises. In light of this bounty of Darksiders goodness (and the ability to ignore the frankly absurd DLC policies for the original DS2) I figured I may as well check out these “improved” versions and start my journey out at the very beginning, with Darksiders: Warmastered Edition.īack when Darksiders first came out I played it on the PS3 and very nearly got the platinum trophy for it (missing the trophies for playing on the highest difficulty and that aggravating griffon trophy, which I will get to in a bit). The problem is that I never quite finished Darksiders 2, getting myself sidetracked as I am wont to do, so what better time than with a new entry on the horizon to finally go back and finish up Death’s perilous journey?Īs it just so happened, I actually had the Darksiders games in my Steam library, along with upgrades to their remastered editions. It’s looking… like a game, I guess, but I did quite enjoy its predecessors a fair bit when I played them ages ago.
