TWO years is a long time in gaming, yet it’s worth going back those 24 months to remind yourself just how awesome the action in Darksiders is. Bundling the first and second game together along with a season pass for DLC, you’ll discover a glorious open-world to gobble up. Your sinister sidekick, Despair, is on-tap from the very start, and there’s a rarely offered option in the gaming world to become Death’s Reaper for short periods of time, racking up the kind of combat combos that’d have any opponent begging for mercy.

While the sequel is a marked improvement on the original, both represent epic battles between good, evil and those in between, delivering supreme action from every angle thanks to jaw-dropping graphics, huge (and I mean really huge) boss battles and even bigger environments that set epic parameters for the games to play out.

Couple that with a beautifully refined combat system, that’ll do as much for button mashers as for those prepared to hone their skills with weapon upgrades and considered battle tactics, and you have an essential bundle buy – especially for those yet to sample the delights.
