Darksiders: Warmastered Edition
Deceived by the forces of evil into prematurely bringing about the end of the world, War – the first Horseman of the Apocalypse – stands accused of breaking the sacred law by inciting a war between Heaven and Hell. In the slaughter that ensued, the demonic forces defeated the heavenly hosts and laid claim to the Earth. Brought before the sacred Charred Council, War is indicted for his crimes and stripped of his powers. Dishonored and facing his own death, War is given the opportunity to return to Earth to search for the truth and punish those responsible. Hunted by a vengeful group of Angels, War must take on the forces of Hell, forge uneasy alliances with the very demons he hunts, and journey across the ravaged remains of the Earth on his quest for vengeance and vindication.

Not recommended Posted December 15, 2025 on Steam Cutscenes do not play on Steam Deck through any version of proton. There is a fix on Reddit which involves downloading a zip file, pasting a line of command into proton 8.0 and running a script for 30+ minutes... Definitely should not be classed as "verified" on Steam Deck. -
Recommended Posted July 6, 2025 on Steam I played the game a long time ago and I'm happy to play it again after all this time, it brings back fond memories -
Not recommended Posted February 17, 2026 on Steam When deciding between the Warmastered Edition and the original Darksiders, ask yourself what matters more: 1. A solid, functional game that just works, or 2. The exact same game with modern resolutions and slightly improved textures, but bizarrely messed up audio, especially in cutscenes. This remaster feels insulting. They slapped on marginally higher-res textures, added resolution support, and called it a day while completely botching the audio mix. In cutscenes, dialogue and grunts are loud and clear, but the music and sound effects are whisper-quiet. Everything feels isolated and flat. The only reliable fix is manually replacing every single cutscene file with a properly balanced version. That's ridiculous and I'm not doing it. They couldn't bother to update or patch it properly? They're happy to take your money and shrug: "oops, mistake, but you'll get over it." Remasters exist because recycling old games is cheaper than creating new ones. I get that. But this one is basically a texture pack with regressions. The visuals are barely an upgrade, not worth the trade-offs. Also, how is this Steam Deck Verified? Out of the box, cutscenes don't play at all on Deck. You have to jump through hoops with Proton tweaks, codec installs, running random scripts some guy on Reddit suggests, and forcing specific versions just to get them working. Unless, of course, you want to enjoy the whiplash of walking down the street, a quick flicker, and then suddenly everything's chaos and a massive boss is right in front of you. These greedy corpo publisher parasites are sucking consumers dry with their endless parade of half-assed "remasters," but they don't care because the nostalgia-drunk gamer cucks are letting them get away with it, paying them for the pleasure. They churn out these low-effort cash grabs, recycling decade-old games with zero improvements or polish because it's safer and cheaper than risking anything new. And they know the pathetic GAMERS will swarm in like sheep every time nostalgia gets dangled in front of them. Developers phone it in for the easy paycheck, publishers count the money while ignoring quality, and buyers keep enabling the scam by throwing cash at familiar logos instead of demanding better or just saying no. It's a toxic feedback loop: lazy execs exploit weak fans who reward mediocrity, killing creativity and flooding the market with soulless slop. Until enough people grow some sack and stop funding this garbage, they'll keep treating customers like gullible losers forever. -
Recommended Posted April 14, 2026 on Steam It's a mixed bag. There's clearly a lot of love and passion poured into this game but sometimes it feels like such a drag. About a third of the way in I was very much done with the game. It can feel like the best and the most mediocre game at the same time. I'd still recommend it for the masterfully crafted highs on offer here. PSA: The Steam Deck verified is a hoax. It's needs some manual patching. -
Recommended Posted August 3, 2025 on Steam Played this almost 11 years ago. In honor of Darksiders 4 being announced I decided to finally play this again on PC. It was fun then and its fun now. -
Not recommended Posted June 13, 2025 on Steam "Steam Deck Verified" Whenever you launch the game or any cut scene in the game it doesn't show the visuals on the cut scene and the audio is delayed into game play since you have to skip all cut scenes. Play the game on Console and works fine. Play on my PC and is fine (Lower spec computer). Play on Steam Deck and issue arises. Someone found a fix but you need to inject a file by bypassing Steam OS. Game is good but there needs to be a reevaluation for steam deck verification.
