It is Death that leads the charge in Darksiders 2, ironically, breathing new life into the franchise.

Combination of puzzles, combat and exploration ensure variety, Vast, expansive world, Superlative score and excellent voice acting, Loot system compels exploration
CONS
Dust navigation erratic, Bosses and enemies not as challenging as the first game, Fast travel replaces atmospheric Serpent Holes
VERDICT
Darksiders 2 is a worthy sequel that makes for a highly enjoyable game. While different to the first in many ways, it is no less distinctive,and perhaps even more compelling, to play.
