I'm in on this one! Do you need to play the first two games or does he third have a stand alone story?

Hey guys, little bit of a miscommunication here.

Our game for May is actually the recently released Darksiders: Genesis

Sorry for the confusion!

Yep, my bad.  This has been updated in the main post now.  Very sorry.

This is a spin-off prequel, so you should be fine.

Im in also!  Edit, maybe.  This game is not in the 20$ range like most, it's a 40$ game, so I need to check game pass.

Yeah, sorry about that. It's just an opportune time for us to do this one, since we have one of the developers lined up to talk about it on the show.

Next month is going to be much rougher in terms of price, but we hope many of you already own the game, or have other means to obtain a copy.

So started today, and I didn't read or look up anything on this game..  At first I was not happy it was a diablo clone, I was hoping it was like the other Darksiders, but its growing on me.  The fact it doesnt have  fmv cut scenes except the first opening makes it feel rushed and cheap... like those Assassin Creed filler games.  I hope as I play my feelings change, but what they say about first impressions.

Started today and up to the latter part of  Chapter 3. Enjoying the game so far, but man, some of these boss battles are lengthy. Play a bit of  co-op today with my son. I'll save my thoughts on that for the sbow.  The game is made up of 16 Chapters, so maybe four per week?

Finished Chapter 4 last night.

I am enjoying the game, especially following CONTROL. This game, by comparison, is breezy fun.

I'm playing on the Switch, and though it looks great for a Switch game, this is the first time I've ever had a game crash to the home screen on Switch. It's just as well because it was in that foundry part and you get an achievement if you do it without dying. I had died, but the crash meant I had to start over so I got the achievement.

What is kind of great about this game is playing in single player I feel like I am using both characters equally. Usually I would just lean on the War type bruiser and mash my way through things, but I'm changing back and forth strategically and it's a lot of fun. It can be challenging because both of them have their own control schemes but it's close enough.

So far I've played all the missions on the Normal difficulty, and the only thing slowing me down is the puzzles, because I'm an idiot.

Good stuff in general and I enjoy this genre a lot.

I also am playing on the switch, and I am starting to warm up to the game, it's fun and easy to pickup and play for a bit.  Also if you want to play online together sometimes let me know! I think we are friends on the switch.

Finished chapter 7 today. What a beast. It took me three days to get through it.

I'm enjoying the game, but maybe it's longer than I thought it would be. I hope I can finish it!

Got stuck on Chapter 9, which is a pretty killer boss fight, and had to relent and lower the difficulty to casual. Next chapter is also a boss fight, so all of a sudden I'm about to begin Chapter 11 and feeling better about getting this game done in time, especially with the upcoming three day weekend here in the states.

How is everyone else doing?

We will have the head writer of the game on the podcast for this one. He was involved in many aspects of the game's development beyond just the writing so if you have any questions about the making of the game, ask them here and we'll discuss with him on the show.

Just finished Chapter 3 last night. Gotta say that boss was wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy easier than the Chapter 2 boss.  Took im down on the first try.  Having fun with the game so far.  I think that the platforming is pretty well done.

I have been enjoying this game somewhat, off and on. The game isn’t hooking me in like I had hoped. I’m on Chapter 3. Glad I tried it out.
