Reddit reviews Darksiders: The Abomination Vault: A Novel

To be honest, none of the Darksiders games have ever been amazing, and I say this as a huge fan who's really in to the canon, lore, comics, books, etc.

They are always competent, well-put together games with serviceable story, gameplay, etc., but the art direction and the tone and feel of the universe has always made me love it.

Side note... I highly recommend any Darksiders fans read the Abomination Vault novel. It is legitimately amazing, one of the best books I've ever read. I know that sounds silly, but the author for it is right up there with RR Martin when it comes to painting a picture in your head. I will never not shamelessly promote this book.

You can read an excerpt here.

Just one of those things where you think "yeah, right, a Darksiders novel can't be that good" but it is. And sorry for the plug, I just want this game and everything affiliated with it to get as much exposure as possible. I really love Darksiders and don’t wanna see the IP get tossed.

It's still on Amazon. I have it sitting in my drawer. I don't read either, but I love reading this book. I think I got a 1/3 of it done before Darksiders 3 came out, then I kinda lost interest. Still need to finish it.
