don't know how to feel about this one. I am a fan of the first three, was waiting for next one ever since I saw Strife with guns. but I'm definitely not a fan of this genre.

I don't mean to be negative but, it looks like League of Legends, including graphics, and that's not a compliment..

I'm not interested if it doesn't have co op. I'm very interested if it does have online co op.

Much prefer this isometric RPG approach to what they were doing prior. Wasn't a fan of the previous darksiders games at all tbh. This should hopefully make it less of a tedious slog and more fast paced. I'll be keeping an eye on it either way.
