    Hey guys I've never played the Darksiders series before. What do you think, fancy diving in to pits of hell or is it just a touch too expensive for you? I've been really ill editing this so apologies if there are mistakes I'm a ruin of a man! Mark

      At least THQ didn’t put a full price tag on it, so no, I don’t have a problem with the price. If people think it should be priced the same as the already discounted Xbox and PS4 versions (tagging it with the BS Switch tax) they’re idiots. A good port with the portable factor is worth it IMO.

    As someone who played this on PC and Wii U, I highly recommend the game. And the sequel Darksiders 2 is also receiving a port treatment I believe towards the end of this year on the Switch as well. Now is as good a time as ever to get on board this franchise which has aged like a fine wine. The apocalypse has never looked better.

    Edit: So I completed the game today. It was totally worth the price!! Anyone interested in Zelda-like puzzles, you’re gonna like this very solid title. Even the bosses are puzzles on their own.
    Also, performance on Switch is incredible. Performance mode is a bliss for this port. I wish future Switch ports of other games follow this path :)

    "Top drawer." Nice! Switch Up has officially become my go to Switch review source. Feels like they are doing their research and providing the honest truth about games, unlike some other sources that occasionally feel like they are not doing either of these things, which should be requisites. I've been gaming since 1985, and am a former subscriber of the legendary Gamefan magazine, so in this day and age, legitimate video game journalism is something I value greatly.

    Overrated? I’d say it’s UNDERrated. Darksiders Warmastered is a better game than Zelda Twilight Princess. It’s downright fantastic. And this version is immaculate. The HD Rumble for your heartbeat when you’re low on health, the quality mode + performance mode, the ability to save anywhere, no screen tearing or bugs or framerate issues like some other versions of the game out there, all topped off with being the first ever Darksiders on a handheld, and not having to give up console play to achieve it. MUST OWN MASTERPIECE

    @TheWaste0Time Před 5 lety +1

    A lot of people immediately run to Zelda when making comparisons, but due to the fluid platforming, the darker setting, and some other elements in this game, I'd say it has more in common with Soul Reaver then Zelda. That said, when it came out it was panned left and right by critics for being nothing new or special, and every good thing about it was largely ignored. This was a great game back then, and remains a great game to this day.

    Finished the game years ago on PS3. I just beat it again recently on Switch and yeah it still holds up well. The combat isn't amazing but still fun but the best part is how the game has actual GOOD puzzles that make you think. so many action games don't even bother with that part but this game goes the extra mile to implement some Zelda-like dungeons and I really appreciate it. There are also A LOT of secrets to collect. Wrath shards, life shards, abyssal armor pieces, combat enhancements, and more. It's practically a 3D metroidvania.

    Looking for a good hack and slash on the Switch and while I still haven't finished Bayonetta 2 this looks like it'll scratch my itch.

I think most Switch owners understand that there are limits to the hardware and probably don't care for resolution over performance in a lot of cases.

      I enjoyed Zelda on the GBA when I was younger I guess I just didn't continue to enjoy it as I grew. I do appreciate that many people do love it though and I guess that's what I love about gaming.

And now I've spent 2 days going through your channel's reviews, trying to find out which one I'm going to get lol you guys are the best at this ! Would love to work with you guys! But someone help me make a decision! 😂 I'm stuck between this game, eldest souls, risk of rain 2, bulletstorm, or something else... What do I do...

    Ok, so while I agree with the individual scores you gave to each section pointed out (score, gameplay, visuals...) I cannot help but to think that you might have overscored this one a little bit... is it a great addition to the switch catalog? I'd argue it is, considering that it is a port (however well done) of a remaster of a game that came out years ago.... I want more original triple A games for the switch, not more remasters or ports.
    Great review, take this with a pinch of salt

    1) Suggest to have chapters separating & let players to have some break. Now the game just ask you to keep fighting without stop. Feeling that no story but just ask you to keep fighting for no purpose.
    2) Control sucks. You get to be very familiar with control or else you would keep dying, like flying, focusing when you use guns or boomerang.
    3) Graphics are nice but sometimes the view keep rotating (automatically) that you would get fainted if keep looking at the monitor.
    4) Zelda is much better as I enjoy playing Zelda, while keep arrogant when playing Darksiders.

    The second game is bigger and better in every way. My favorite. I can’t wait for it’s Switch release. It’s a matter of time. I just bought this game though. The Warmastered for the Switch. This will be the 3rd Darksiders 1 I own. To have it truly portable is awesome. These are the games I want portable. Now just put Kingdoms of Amalur on Switch and work on its sequel and that should hold me over for awhile.

    Reminds me of all the God of War games I've played on older consoles than anything else tbh. That's not a bad thing, it's just funny to me how many cues this took from the GoW games in my opinion. Probably not gonna be a go-out-and-buy-right-now game, as I'm more interested in waiting for Dragon's Dogma and Assassin's Creed 3 at this point, but I'll probably end up picking it up at some point down the road
