Darksiders 2 is a very ambitious sequel. Aside from the hack-n-slash from the previous game, it tries to expand on so many directions, lots of extra content, side quests, world building, light RPG elements, collectibles, several different puzzle mechanics, a semi-open world, optional dungeons, optional bosses, extra campaigns, etc.

It tries to be bigger and better in every sense of the word, it doesn't excel in everything but at its core, the hack-n-lash remains solid fun, but by the end of the 20h campaign, it does outstay its welcome.
