Darksiders Genesis - Looks Like Diablo, Plays Like Not-Diablo

Darksiders Genesis is a strange one. While it may look like a Diablo style affair, it remains a Darksiders game at heart, with combat and mechanics taken straight from the main series. 

The new perspective is jarring however, especially when it comes to jumping and platforming. The lack of dungeon crawler RPG features also makes the pulled back camera feel just a tad cheap. Nonetheless, it's a decent enough game.

So, I don't think I was quite clear.... was it better than Darksiders 3? lol. Good review, nails a lot of my immediate concerns right on the head.

About the echoing dialogue: I played the game on PC when it launched last year, and I had none of the echo you showed off in dialogue. I think this may be a bug in the console/PS4 version.
