not the biggest fan of moving to traditional RPG stats on items… as once again… if it has no crit, it isn't worth using.
Overall I prefer playing 1 a little more than this, but its still a great game even with its flaws.

this game has a few major bugs mostly crashing related… all crashing related, first is the game freezing when leaving the menu… apparently a bug with in game Vsync, fixed with the NVIDIA control panel solution found here https://www.reddit.com/r/Darksiders/comments/8g1qs0/gameunplayablewhitescreenafter_closing/ , secondly the game crashing to desktop if a certain quest finishing would cause you to level up… forcing you to backtrack and either grind out a level or do some side quests so the quest completion would not level you up. Third… game crashes in a certain zone when I alt tabbed(the area where you get the portal). Fortunately the game effectively saves every single room so you never lose more than a couple minutes progress.
the part on earth(the part where the game becomes a zombie swarm FPS game) had a wall not properly unload so it became an invisible barrier… and the wall for a mini boss arena not despawn after beating the mini boss… both solved with save/quit/restart.

Interesting puzzle platformer, only real complaint was the camera, it would be moving as I was trying to do something causing the direction I was holding keys for to change as it was moving itself(so I did occasionally walk off the edge a few times), and that the run function should be a toggle… or just on by default(my finger started to hurt from holding shift). Was fairly easy and short but I didn’t give NG+ a chance as all it did was move the collectible thing you needed to get around to more difficult locations. The game didn’t tell me the map layout itself changed so I see it as a missed opportunity.

Mario Odyssey - hats!
A hat in time - hats!
its the same game right?

The final level and boss fight… were amazing.

I have only done the bare minimum to beat this game so far, will toy around some more but that free roam level I was struggling with so only have the bird cage one, questioning if I can even unlock the 35 clock area while having fun. Future me problem, I enjoyed what I played so far that is all that matters. Currently have one bugged achievement that didn't lock(the 3 badge one)

As of doing the prologue and chapter 1, the gameplay here feels inferior to the first game in every single manner, story is to be seen, I am still enjoying myself nd will finish it… but I might come to regret buying the collection many years ago.

might not finish this in October, CJ's event is taking priority and this is a PoP pick so I got until EOTY

Horse and Bear packs completed!
… just tons more to go
… although the game isn't recognizing my completion of one of the bear puzzles, anyone have an idea on the solution so it properly gives credit/achievements?
