Anyone who has played the Darksiders Saga is well aware of what made the games unique, or apart from others. The Tree of Life and the constant battle between good and evil, angels and demons, and the Nephilim made the games unique. Other games, for instance, the Souls Series, have their own version of good and evil, their vision different to some extent.
While I personally have not played any of the Souls games, I have played Elden Ring. In contrast, I have finished all of the Darsiders games. I would say that Darksiders 2 is probably my favorite Darksiders game, due to all the loot, weapon crafting and perhaps secrets. Yet all of the Darksiders games are awesome in my opinion. I really do think Elden Ring is a masterpiece, yet I have to admit that I truly do believe that game has been inspired in many ways by the Darksiders series.
Similarities between the two: A huge tree if not several, some winged NPCs, the ability to teleport to different areas of the map, some weapon crafting, and a sense of good and evil. While the Darksiders games are closely related to the Bible, Elden Ring has a completely different idea of heaven and hell. Darksiders 3 was released back in 2018, around the time Elden Ring was still in development, and it has several cutscenes that secretly reveal that a new game is on the making. One which is going to generate controversy, like if the game was designed to perform a social engineering test on another society, somewhat a form of conspiracy.
Let's cut to the cheese, here is the cutscene below, and let me know what you think about the two games and what do you like or dislike about them.
