Instead of going for slow, gritty, and edgy, they went for a fast paced arcade feel which I personally preferred.
Instead of your darkness tendrils sitting hidden behind a dedicated button press, The Darkness 2 has them visible and with you at all times and everyone knows about them.
It is a short story, with my first playthrough taking around 5-6 hours, but then my second New Game + playthrough on the hardest difficulty taking around 3 hours. I actually really enjoyed the short playtime because it makes playing the game on New Game + less daunting and recommended because you can mop up any collectibles or powers you missed on the first playthrough.
After my 2 playthroughs I completed the Vendetta campaign and "Hits", which were okay, but really highlighted the repetitive gameplay and got boring quickly. Thankfully it didn't take long to complete and I actually ended up enjoying my overall journey to 100% achievement completion which I don't normally bother with on most games these days.
