If anything, returning to the no-nonsense combat and exploration of 2010 era design made me recognise how much fluff is in the popular titles nowadays.

Despite some elements that feel dated today, the game's hack-and-slash experience is still a good choice for fans of the genre.

Deceived by the forces of evil into prematurely bringing about the end of the world, War – the first Horseman of the Apocalypse – stands accused of breaking the sacred law by inciting a war between Heaven and Hell.

When Heaven and Hell go to war, no one wins. Come see if the end of the world is all it’s cracked up to be in Darksiders: Warmastered Edition, the brainchild of famed comic book writer and artist, Joe Madureira. We take look and see if this six-year-old game holds with a visual facelift.
