A Panel Shaped Screen: which run of The Darkness should you read?
The Darkness II is a game about being a mafia hitman, shooting everyone, and feeding the hearts of your enemies to the black abomination coiled inside your chest. But it s also a game about fighting your darkest self, doubting your own mind, and finding salvation in love. When John reviewed it, he said: I was genuinely expecting a brash, stupid shooter, noise and bluster and shooting at heads. That it s so smart is a fantastic surprise .
The Darkness II (like its console exclusive predecessor) is actually based on a comic book series, first published in the nineties.
