I like Darksiders, but don't love it. It's got all the pieces, but they don't quite come together cohesively. It apes Zelda, Metroid, and God of War, but in trying to be so broad, it doesn't do any one particular thing as well as those. It's combat is decent, but lacks impact, opposite of God of War's simple yet punchy combat. It has a pretty good overworld with a cool aesthetic, but not nearly as fun to explore as Zelda or Metroid games. It's definitely a fun romp for fans of the genre.
