I can’t really explain it but I am hooked about darksiders series. If you don’t know it takes place after Armageddon. War one of the four horsemen is tricked into starting the end of days and sets out to clear his name. The sequel focuses on Death. He is the leader of the horsemen and when he hears that War started the end of days he nows it is a lie and goes to set things right. The time frame starts in the middle fo the last one and then continues on its own. Death is more agile than war so there play styles are different. I will post two video that will explain better than I can. If you are into leveling and dungeon crawling check this game out as well as the first.
