![]() It's not that Vendettas is bad, exactly, but it's even more linear than the main game, and each of the four available characters possesses a single Darkness power and a melee weapon. And going from that to the included co-operative Vendettas mode was tonally jarring. And even now, I'm still not sure of what the "right" choice was.Īfter finishing the main game, I was emotionally drained. And later, when I had to make a specific choice, I hesitated over something that had zero gameplay ramifications. In this one, important respect, the sequel lives up to its predecessor and then some. Jackie's guilt over Jenny's death, his baggage over his responsibility for that, carries The Darkness II's narrative into interesting, heart-wrenching places. These things have been done before, but as Jackie flashes back, his desperation is so well depicted that it's hard not to be taken in as he dances with the memory of his dead girlfriend to "I Only Have Eyes For You." The tension and emotion isn't hinted at it's there. Same as any other shooter.Īs The Darkness whispers to Jackie in tones of violence and madness, he starts to see visions of Jenny that transition into full-on hallucinations and flashbacks. But take enough damage in a firefight and it's back to a checkpoint just a little further back than it feels like it should be. In fact, this is used in the story several times. ![]() The Darkness's fiction establishes that Jackie can't die - The Darkness won't let him. The Darkness II gets bogged down in genre conventions in other ways as well. But when the screen goes bright white for as much as 20 to 30 seconds and you die again from an enemy that you couldn't even see, it's not the Darkness that's nowhere to be found, it's the fun. The Darkness loses its power in light, and sure, it makes sense that enemies would make use of that. The problem with these moments lies in Digital Extremes' seeming inability to differentiate between establishing a challenge and screwing you over. And they're all universally boring - when they're not busy being terrible. And yes, there are a number of sections so clearly marked and littered with contrived limitations that to call them anything but boss battles would be a lie. While the arms' repertoire is a bit limited - the left head grabs, while the right arm strikes - the relatively wide open combat arenas and the first few levels filled with fodder wiseguys encourage experimentation, with some fun and gory resultsīut then the first boss battle happens. These additional appendages open the combat up like so many eviscerated mob goons. Jackie's serpent-like demon arms make their return in a more vicious, hungry state. Any trick of Jackie's dark side predicated on exploration or subterfuge has been jettisoned in favor of a more agile, combat focused pair of projections. Jackie's abilities from the previous Darkness title have been streamlined. Eventually you'll find guns that seem more effective, but the real killing gets done with the Darkness itself. It's smarter just to pump a hail of bullets in the direction of trouble and let things sort themselves out. The gunplay and shooting are functional, but not great. The Darkness II does best, mechanically speaking, when it diverges the most from its first-person peers. Until the requisite "but then" goes down: A secret society called The Brotherhood drags Jackie into a supernatural turf war with the power of The Darkness itself at stake. ![]() Still reeling from the loss of his girlfriend Jenny, he's buried The Darkness down deep and resolved to keep it there. The Darkness II opens several years after the first game, with protagonist and titular wielder of The Darkness itself, Jackie Estacado, growing complacent and glassy-eyed as the head of the Franchetti crime family. As a sequel to a sleeper title that defied genre conventions at every turn, the announcement of The Darkness II seemed a bit tawdry, but new developer Digital Extremes has managed to respect the original, flawed game, even if they can't quite share the same success. ![]() Which is exactly where The Darkness II finds itself. But take a sequel to a game that managed to set itself apart through good ideas that haven't been successfully duplicated since, and you're swimming against the current. A game that coasts on convention can get by on just that. ![]()

![]() ![]() In combat, Jin adopts different combat stances when facing different types of enemies: stone stance for hostile swordsmen water stance for shielded enemies wind stance for spearmen and moon stance for brutes. They can engage in a direct confrontation with enemies using their katana, called a standoff, which can result in a series of fatal strikes against a number of different enemies. The player has a variety of gameplay options to reach objectives they are given. Ghost of Tsushima is an action-adventure video game played from a third-person perspective. ![]() In Ghost of Tsushima, the player can traverse the open world of Tsushima Island on horseback. A film adaptation is in development as of 2022. It was nominated for several end-of-the-year awards, including Game of the Year at The Game Awards 2020. The game was a commercial success, selling more than 9.73 million copies by July 2022 and was one of Sony's fastest-selling original games. The game received positive reviews upon release, with critics praising the game's melee combat, story, characters, performances, and music, though it received some criticism for its implementations of stealth gameplay and open world structure. The game was released for PlayStation 4 in July 2020, and an expanded version for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5, subtitled Director's Cut and featuring the Iki Island expansion, was released in August 2021. Ilan Eshkeri and Shigeru Umebayashi composed the game's soundtrack. While the in-game landmass is similar in shape to Tsushima Island, the team did not intend to create a one-to-one recreation. The game's landscape and minimalistic art style were influenced by Shadow of the Colossus, and locations in the game were designed to be "the perfect photographer's dream". The team was heavily inspired by samurai cinema, particularly films directed by Akira Kurosawa, as well as the comic book series Usagi Yojimbo. The studio collaborated with Japan Studio and visited Tsushima Island twice to ensure that the game was as culturally and historically authentic as possible. ![]() Sucker Punch began developing the game after the release of Infamous: First Light in 2014, as the studio wanted to move on from the Infamous franchise to create a game with a heavy emphasis on melee combat. A multiplayer mode titled Ghost of Tsushima: Legends was released in October 2020 and made available separately in September 2021. ![]() When facing enemies, the player can choose to engage in a direct confrontation using Jin's katana or to become a legendary warrior known as "the Ghost" by using stealth tactics to assassinate opponents. The game features a large open world which can be explored either on foot or on horseback. Jin must choose between following the warrior code to fight honorably, or using practical but dishonorable methods of repelling the Mongols with minimal casualties. The player controls Jin Sakai, a samurai on a quest to protect Tsushima Island during the first Mongol invasion of Japan. Some seem frustrated that the surprise was ruined, as is echoed by Baker's statement that he's "not sure how so many seemed to find out so quick" and known insider KatharsisT commenting that the news shouldn't have been leaked.Ghost of Tsushima is a 2020 action-adventure game developed by Sucker Punch Productions and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment. However, the announcement of an " expandalone-type game" - larger than a typical expansion pack and smaller than a full-blooded sequel - also has fans in a frenzy, with many saying that a single-player DLC is the last thing they expected from Sucker Punch Productions. Ghosts of Tsushima: Legends, Ghost of Tsushima's online multiplayer mode, was later released, in which gamers can team up with their friends and play through a variety of different modes. It was widely praised for its immersive aesthetic and high quality, going on to garner eight nominations at The Game Awards and win the Game Awards' 2020 Player's Voice Award. Released in 2020 and developed by Sucker Punch Productions, Ghost of Tsushima is a PlayStation 4 exclusive that puts players in control of Jin Sakai, a samurai on a quest to protect the island of Tsushima from the impending Mongol invasion. RELATED: Upcoming Game Trek to Yomi Will Offer Kurosawa-Inspired Samurai Action ![]() ![]() A large open-world map begs to be explored. The single-player RPG adventure has some standout layers that deserve to be highlighted. However, more often than not it’s a comical mess that’ll make you chuckle. Every element of the game is just about serviceable. This is exactly how I see Ravensword: Shadowlands going. They make us laugh, and they become instant cult classics. Whether it’s the awful plot, bad acting, atrocious costumes, or the lame choice of set. We’ve all watched films that are so terrible that we’ve loved them. Don’t fear the skeleton, simply shoot it. But I dived straight into my role as the new hero of this ancient and mystical land. ![]() It’s been done to death and offers little in the way of originality. A man who may wield the Ravensword, the only hope that humanity has of defeating the darkness. He is the descendent of an ancient King’s bloodline. But the mage was deceived by his apprentice! Every soul that fought that day has been taken by the Demon. An Archmage and a Demon have struck a deal. A war is raging and man pushes the elves back. The Ravensword, is lost! Sadly, dark times are ahead. Ravengard has fallen, and the Kingdom of Tyreas stands alone against the might of the dark elves. It reminded me of Lord of the Rings, albeit a poor man’s version. Its pace, lore and delivery were Tolkien-esque. The game opens with a dramatic video that sets the scene for the story ahead. Ravensword: Shadowlands reminded me of Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings. But somehow I got hooked on it and I loved its retro, rustic style. Its bold colours, wooden acting and tinny audio will win no awards. A vast evil presence, a disastrous battle, and one hero who must reclaim what is rightfully his and thwart the beast.ĭeveloped by Crescent Moon Games and published by Ratalaika Games, this is a clichéd, old-school RPG that has the look and charm of a 90s PC classic. Ravensword: Shadowlands follows this to a tee. Aiming to become the hero of the realm, to right the wrongs, and bring peace to the Kingdom.

For over 100 years Texas has played host to encounters with upright walking canines - werewolves, or as they are now often called, Dogmen.
