The NSP also works flawlessly on PC emulators. Set the CPU accuracy to "High" to avoid random crashes in the Lostlight region. Vulkan backend works better than OpenGL for this specific title due to the heavy particle effects.
This is a Dungeon Crawler at heart. You will use the Crossblade to hit distant switches, the Teleport Glove (Voidwalker) to traverse dimensions, and Soul Splitter to create clones. The puzzles hold up remarkably well, though the tablet font can be a bit small in handheld mode—a minor complaint.
At nearly 17 GB, Darksiders 2 is a chunky install for the Switch. To put that in perspective:
So, yes, 17 GB is significant. However, you are getting a 30+ hour campaign (40+ with DLC). The Deathinitive Edition represents the complete vision. If you own a large microSD card (256GB or 512GB), this should be a permanent fixture on your system.
Death is agile. He uses dual scythes for fast crowd control and heavy secondary weapons (axes, hammers, gauntlets) for staggering foes. The Reaper Form—a transformation into a spectral avatar of death—is a screen-clearing panic button that feels incredible to trigger with a button press on the Switch Pro Controller.
