Darksiders II is a stylish single-player action RPG that’s not too hard, but incredibly fun to play.
I’ve always loved this series, and today I finally gave it another playthrough after one of my supporter buddies suggested it — and wow, it was fantastic.
This playthrough features the KTMXHancer Remaster Project, a graphics mod that enhances the game’s already beautiful, painted art style with even more flair and atmosphere.
With subtle ray tracing, cel shading, and refined textures, the game now looks absolutely mesmerizing — it genuinely feels like playing a PS5-level remaster, even though I’m playing on PC at 4K / 180Hz.
