3. The Darkness 2

The Darkness 2 Trailer

Jackie Estacado has a gift and two years ago, he used it to kill the men to blame for his girlfriend’s murder. This gift is called The Darkness. The memory of her death still haunts him, and the ancient force is tired of being held in. An unsuccessful attack on Estacado’s life unleashes The Darkness. This leads him down the road to figure out the truth behind The Darkness. 

The story is written by Paul Jenkins, comic book author of The Incredible Hulk, Wolverine, and the original The Darkness story. This first person shooter even features film noir style as a tip of the hat to the original comic series. Enemies will use light as a weapon against you and The Darkness, so it’s wise to avoid them or take them out as soon as possible. Use both arms and two tendrils of Darkness called the Demon Arms to wield weapons and grab and throw objects or use them as shields. Consume the hearts of your enemies to earn Essence, which powers The Darkness. 

You can also play in a separate campaign called Vendettas, which allows up to four players to play together online. The basis of this side story is four hitmen join together to stop the Spear of Destiny of falling into the hands of the brotherhood. 

The game is the first of its kind with the special quad-wield ability and the immersive storyline. Reception of the game was overwhelmingly positive, with many commenting on the intensity of the gameplay and the spectacular visuals.
