#Darksiders 2 dlc worth it series#

I never found the original subweapons particularly worthwhile, and that remains the case even with these new forms available. Again, as someone who found her standard blade whip more than capable of seeing me through the entire story, they’re an addition that provide little value. The one somewhat significant reason to consider this DLC is that each boss killed allows for Fury’s Hollow weapons to change form, turning blades into claws and such. It’s an ugly thing to boot, with Fury’s standard form being more appealing. Conversely, playing through it as I did with an endgame save, there was little challenge thus making the prize of unlocking the powerful Abyssal Armor turns out to be completely redundant. While it’s accessible as soon as Fury unlocks her first Flame Hollow form, it can’t be completed until she obtains access to every Hollow. Part of the problem with Keepers of the Void is that it doesn’t slot neatly into the core campaign. The final boss is different at least, but his limited attack patterns still makes for a tepid and uninspired battle. Flip enough switches and Fury will make her way to the boss of whatever area she’s travelling through, and it soon turns out that they’re all almost identical golem-style adversaries with the main difference between them being the particle effects denoting which element they use. There’s a ton of switch flipping punctuated with occasionally retrieving a new item that turns into a switch so that Fury can flip it and gain access to a new area. The puzzles aren’t any great shakes either. Only their puzzles and layout change, lending this DLC a very repetitive feel despite its short length. There are four wings that must be traversed as Fury gains access to new powers, but there’s no sense of progression since these wings all have the same general look and feel. It’s a straightforward setup not really tying itself to any part of the base game’s world or narrative.

Taking place in a reasonably nice-looking, vaguely otherworldy area known as the Void within Vulgrim’s network of Serpent Holes, Fury has to clear out some unwanted enemies, solve some puzzles and lay claim to a certain set of armor that fans of the series will be familiar with. It all sounds great on the surface, but this DLC struggles to justify its existence and its price point.Īnyone who’s read my review of Darksiders 3 knows that I thoroughly enjoyed it, but I can’t say the same about Keepers, which is about as pedestrian an add-on as I’ve ever seen. Eight months after Darksiders 3‘s initial release, the Keepers of the Void expansion finally arrives promising a fresh location, new weapons, Fury’s ultimate armour and… eh. Well, this nugget of downloadable content certainly took its time in coming out. LOW Feels superfluous and doesn’t stack up to the main game.
