Single-button button-mashing for gameplay. Cheap grinding missions to extend playtime. All the f***ing time. Completely unenganging story - seriously, I still don't know why I'm doing the things I am or what my motivation is supposed to be. All I'm doing is "go find X, he can tell you how to get to Y" (told in a "suitably" gruff voice). Bayonetta, at least, is colourful and fun. |
Sounds to me like you haven't played the game. Darksiders is plenty colorful. There are no "missions". There is just the main story, and the open world to explore and treasure hunt. And maybe if you watched the cutscenes and paid attention throughout the game you would understand.
And while yes you can get by with hitting only one button, there are plenty of combos that involve multiple buttons, and these combos are quite cool looking, not to mention to use multiple weapons like your scythe, crossblade, power fist, or pistol requires different buttons.
