The Darkness II is a fun blend of Mafia stories and supernatural demonic powers.

The game is genuinely fun to play through, it is short, about 5 to 6 hours of gameplay, but it is engaging and the time you spend with it is good. Unfortunately, the ending which I won't spoil, does leave a sour taste when you wrap up the story.

It's worth a play through, it really makes sense that the game came out in 2012 in the late PS3/360 era of gaming where we had so many 'short' titles that were just fun. You pick 'em up, play through the whole thing and there isn't much need to go back to it. A few years later you find yourself replaying it for the fun of it.
