This is good. Great even. One of the better FPS games out there. I would argue that it's one of the most underrated ones aswell. Feels like it have had some influence on new Dooms.
Feels great, sounds great, looks great. Too bad it's a bit short.
BUT.
I still prefer the original one. It's been 20 freaking years already just give us the Darkness 1 on PC ffs.

Good game. I got invested in Jackie and Jenny's love story.
Though I would have appreciated if the devs didn't mess with the original art style of the console versions. That creates noticeable visual inconsistencies and visibility issues in some areas.
But overall the story was good and the gameplay was fun once you get the hang of it.
Pro tip: set the mouse sensitivity really low. It's very high by default.

Absolutely amazing game. Replayed in 2025 and it still holds up. Graphics are very polished. Mechanics are fun as hell and the story is extremely capturing 10/10

We have entered a different Era. This game is good but the Darkness 1 was much better with more grit that really put you in the tone of being an ordinary (mafia) person succumb to this ancient entity.
I put this here in the hopes that The Darkness one gets a port to pc. Along with my Dreams that it gets a Remaster/Remake.
