Could have been better

The Darkness has some great features, and also some bad that will get in the way of your enjoyment. The gunplay is solid, but it can feel a bit robotic and lifeless at times, the weird aim assist and movement takes a bit to get used to. Darkness powers are pretty cool, but sometimes controlling them can be a bit too much to handle. I couldn't grasp the way you suddenly get these powers, its presented in a weird way, you're just walking down the street and suddenly here it is, you have it, but nothing actually happened.

The thing I didn't like is the walking around the subways and alleys till you stumble across the mission you should play. The map doesn't do the navigation any justice, its a mess and you will be walking around in circles for hours. There are many paths to take yet you cannot figure out where to go to at times. I like the traversing parts ofthe games, but I got stuck and lost here way to often so it brought my enjoyment to a halt.

The story is pretty decent, plenty of dialogues/monologues and the voices are great. The game looks good, but it doesn't feel as good. If you like shooters and are looking for something a bit different, then give The Darkness a shot.
