The Darkness II

Image: Steam / Digital Extremes

  • Shooter
  • Story-driven
  • Supernatural

A first-person shooter based on a comic: mobster Jackie Estacado fires two guns while two demonic arms grab, throw and tear enemies apart. Light cancels out his powers, so you'll be shooting out lamps as you go.

Why play it now

When you want a short, savage action campaign: GameRevolution finished it in one sitting of about 6-7 hours.

Who it's for

For anyone after gory gunfights with a supernatural mob plot and, separately, four-player online co-op.

When not to pick it

If you'd resent paying for such a short campaign, or a story that ends on a cliffhanger.

What it offers

  • Combat / action: 90 out of 100
  • Story: 65 out of 100
