    If you speed thru this game it’s 15 hours. But if you want to find everything the maps and areas are very large and I was quite surprised at how lengthy it is.

    I'm playing it none stop...love the universe. I'm totally new to Darksiders series btw. It's a fantastic mix of exploring, hack'n'slck, puzzles and story. Controls are perfect for the Nintendo's sticks especially Strife, he is AWESOME!

    This port bummed me out. At this point I’m planning on waiting for a PC sale. The game is clearly fun but the frame rate was too bumpy for me and I don’t mind the top down angle but I found it was zoomed too far back for the low res in hand held mode.

    I want to get into the Darksiders games. It reminds me heavily of the classic God of War titles. I loved God of War until they turned it into whatever the hell it is now. I’m cautious on the switch tho. Ninja Gaiden Master collection is a downer. The first game is perfect but the 2nd & 3rd in the collection has some of the worst graphics I’ve ever seen on the switch. It’s a disappointment. I hear Darksiders 1 is great on the switch but I hear Darksiders 2 and Darksiders 3 have some issues. I’m one who if I get the first, I’ll also have to get the 2nd & 3rd. Does anyone know how good the Darksiders Trilogy is on the Switch at this point in time??? Darksiders Genesis does look cool for a side game for sure but the mainline ones look amazing. It sucks that the switch isn’t taken more seriously for people that only have a Switch and only play on the TV with the system docked. I still think Nintendo needs a console separate from their handheld. I love me some action games!!!!

    To me, it isn't worth the price on Switch...
    40 bucks with a ridiculously low resolution and a framerate that has hiccups here and there...
    On PC looks magnificent, 60 fps, 1080p and costs 16 bucks... bloody hell, it could run also on a mid-range portable computer...
    Also on switch, the color palette doesn't fell right... i mean, it is a lot blurred and darker than on PC.

    • @felipemotorhead
      @felipemotorhead 4 года назад

      I agree, this game is too heavy for the switch, I was about to buy it but I was concerned with that, it was then when I realized this title is available on xbox game pass for pc subscription, so I paid 1 euro (first month) and I'm now enjoying it a lot! (Stonks!)

    -overall performance
    -graphics (AA, sharp textures)
