Game crashes when I get to the 1st upgrade point.
Тупо топ, игра не постарела, стилистика придает свой шарм. Геймплей сочный, сейчас такие игры делают очень редко, хотя подобного шутера даже не припомню, разве что только буллетшторм, который выходил примерно в этом же году.
JENNY IM COMING FOR YOU!!!!
The game gets stuck at the dispensary the guy wont move out of the way. If you have more than 3 hours playtime you can nit return the game. Thus it being stuck around that time you cannot complete the game nor get a refund.
One of my favorite shooters to exist, super duper underrated. This game was my jam back in high school
I'm still waiting for The Darkness III damn it!
Amazing old school story shooter. Recommended for any Emo kid who hates his life.
The Darkness II is a brilliantly crafted game that combines visceral action, compelling storytelling, and unique gameplay mechanics to deliver an unforgettable experience. As a sequel, it builds upon the foundation of its predecessor while carving its own path with a stunning comic-book-inspired art style that perfectly complements its dark and gritty tone.
Gameplay
The quad-wielding mechanic is a standout feature, letting you unleash chaos with firearms in your hands while your demonic arms tear through enemies or interact with the environment. This system feels fluid, empowering, and wonderfully over-the-top. The combat sequences are brutal, fast-paced, and immensely satisfying, making every encounter feel dynamic and adrenaline-fueled.
Story
The narrative is another high point. Playing as Jackie Estacado, you’re thrust into a gripping tale of revenge, betrayal, and supernatural power. The story strikes a balance between gritty mob drama and supernatural horror, keeping you hooked with twists and emotional depth. Jackie’s internal struggle with The Darkness adds layers to his character, making him more than just a gun-toting anti-hero.
Visuals and Sound
The cel-shaded graphics are gorgeous, capturing the essence of its graphic novel origins while standing out among other FPS games. The dark, atmospheric environments and vibrant gore effects enhance the experience. The voice acting is top-notch, with believable performances that breathe life into every character. The haunting soundtrack perfectly underscores the game’s ominous and action-packed moments.
Longevity
While the campaign is relatively short, it’s packed with memorable moments that make it worth revisiting. The co-op Vendettas mode adds replayability, offering unique characters and their own stories that complement the main game.
Verdict
The Darkness II is a hidden gem that deserves more recognition. Its bold artistic direction, engaging story, and innovative gameplay mechanics make it a must-play for fans of FPS games and dark, story-driven experiences. If you’re looking for a game that combines intense action with a gripping narrative, this is it. Prepare to embrace The Darkness—you won’t regret it!
Highly recommended! 🎮✨
You Will Do My Bidding! Great Classic Game Definately Worth A Look
I remember playing the demo for this game WAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYY back when i was a little kid. I thought it was the coolest shit ever. It really feels like those where the good old days where triple A developers where skilled and made original games like this.. . Playing the darkness now feels like an absolut treat from the past like eating your grannys cookies or something. Its a first person shooter with good shooting mechanics but the darkness powers are what makes it special. Its just a fun shooter with cool powers and a cheesy story (in an endearing way). But to me it kinda stands for an era gone by. Its not like there are no good games anymore these days but anything original seems to come from indie or eastern developers nowdays and its a shame that we don't see games like this more these days.. . If you like single player shooters you'll like this one too.
Tbh i bought this game because the cover art/promotional art, along with the pre-rendered cutscenes looked so badass. I played the game and the artstyle is completely different,gameplay is a bit repetitive, and there is almost no replay value. Plus theres this little weasley f**k that gives exposition on the artifcats you collect, and lemme tell you this, this mf not only has the cringiest whiniest voice, you are unable to read the info. by itself, you have to rehear his f**cking voice everytime yoi inspect an object.
For those stuck at the tutorial, turn on vsync!
The Darkness 2 is a pretty short game it's not bad it’s a pretty generic shooter with a heaven vs hell plot it was short and sweet not much to really say it was a pretty straightforward shooter with a B-list plot gameplay was fun but a little jank with the darkness ability was not bad or good just meh.
great game
weird and cool game. I wish it was a bit longer but I was invested the whole time in the story even if it didn't always make sense. I hope they eventually make a 3rd game even if it's not likely. I also need the first game remastered on pc asap!
3rd game please
Damn, ripping people to shreds with a pair of demon-snake-thingies is kinda cool.
I played this on a different account. Honestly, this is one of those great games left on a cliffhanger. I waited for years for a sequel, but it never came. What a game.
this game is honestly amazing the story is surprisingly good and the gameplay is really fun i really wish there was a third entry in this series hopefully we get it in the future
goated
perfection
Очень мясистый и зрелищный шутер от 1-го лица. Сюжет спойлерить не буду)
Советую к ознакомлению, особенно учитывая скидки на распродаже.
Goodies:
Combat: Simple, mindless, and fun I want to have the darkness so bad. It’s like the game said, Tearing people open with demon noodle arms is just something I enjoyed a lot.
Voice Acting & Story: You won’t be able to stop. The story is not deep or anything but the voice acting and characters just roped me in for some reason. Love our friend Monkey.
Supporting Cast: Loved all the side characters, especially our dopey little friend Monkey. They made the game more immersive and I felt really cool as JAckie.
Baddies:
Serious Glitches: Enjoy restarting, sucker. Loads of glitches for me but not the end of the world for an old game.
Graphics: They could’ve tried harder it was still kind of ugly.
Environments: Bland as regular water. No flavors or CO2 in this world.

While the game itself is a bit dated it is an absolute blast to playthrough. I would recommend playing the first game however i started with this one since the combat and abilities are better. The gunplay and darkness abilities in unison is a unique experience and makes you feel powerful. All in all if you like shooters and monster type games i highly recommend this game.
Awesom classic game
Definitely ahead of its time
F U 2K, FOR NO DARKNESS 3 ..................
Old game but still a good one, just wish the first was available on PC
great game need a 3rd and the first as a PC port with the game was longer and we had access to the limited edition
What can I say, I have a soft spot for these older games, early 2000's, the ear of originality. The Darkness 2 continues after the first games ending. Jackie Estacado manages to keep the Darkness in check until a cult dedicated to harnessing the Darkness attacks him and forces him to use his powers once more. Really loved the gameplay, continuation of the story line, graphics were pretty rad. The Vendettas missions were a nice break from the story to fill in the in between story plots. Overall a great game with a great story, sadly that story won't ever be complete and we're left with a massive cliff hanger and longing for a final end. (Sigh) Would definitely recommend if you're a fan of the comics or want a fun, gory, dark shoot 'em up.
I love this game.
Its dishonored crossed with bioshock. 11/10
The darkness 3 when???
8/10

Jennyyy!!!
This game is so fantastic and definitely ahead of its time. So sad that we have never gotten the third game it deserved, highly recommend if you want a different and unique FPS experience, the art style is wonderful!.
why isn't there a game like this now?
8/10
one of the best single-player FPS experiences ever.
The Darkness 2 is a sequel to an exclusive console game with different devs and aesthetics. I haven’t played the first game nor read the comic book source. Nevertheless, I can say with certainty that it’s a fun FPS.
You play as a mafia boss with supernatural powers, which manifest itself as a pair of tentacles that player can control. It adds complexity to the gameplay. You can dual-wield any combination of guns, alongside tentacles that can grab and throw objects or melee enemies. Combined with gimmick, such as weakness against light sources, players often have to juggle many things at once during gameplay.
The Darkness 2 used cel-shaded graphics and vibrant colors to evoke comic book aesthetics. It looks quite good even after a decade. The gameplay is fun and frantic. There’s also collectibles hidden throughout the levels. It adds value to replaybility.
The game is very linear and short. The downside is the story ends on a cliffhanger, which is unlikely to be solved soon. The RPG-style skill trees also felt mismatch in this type of game. The ammo was very limited throughout the levels. It can be quite unbalanced. Players often have to rely on melee attacks or invest on skills to kill tougher enemies halfway through the story.
Overall, if you really enjoy single-player FPS, maybe you’ll enjoy this one also.
good game
The is great with story and gameplay. I really like the style of it and how you control an evil power you have. Fighting enemies and tears them into pieces was great. I really enjoy it and hope to see more games like this one. I wish to see and play third part or making an remake of this part and the previous one. I recommend 100% to the whole gamer and I know this is an old game but trust me you gonna like it and having great time with it.
Still a fun game but god damn are the controls weird af for pc just get an xbox controller before playing
