Is Darksiders II still worth playing in 2026?

A sequel from Vigil Games, Darksiders II hands the role to the horseman Death in a larger adventure blending action, dungeon exploration and a strong action RPG component with loot and skill trees. The hero's agility, the variety of environments and the scope of the quest make it a generous, long title. The sometimes overwhelming loot and an uneven production temper the whole. A good action adventure for fans of exploratory hack and slash and dark fantasy worlds on Wii U.
