Buying physical Switch games with a download code inside is one thing, but now we have the option to buy a Switch case with nothing at all inside. It’s a weird world<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Yes, pre-orders have gone live for a Steelbook case designed for Darksiders Genesis<\/a><\/strong>, which came out on Switch earlier this year.

Darksiders Genesis is, for us, the best entry in the series in terms of its mix of satisfyingly meaty hack-and-slash action and huge levels filled with secrets, puzzles and platforming. With its fully co-op campaign, unlockable arena mode and Apocalyptic difficulty feeding into that addictive Creature Core grinding, there’s an absolute ton here for fans of the series \u2013 and newcomers alike \u2013 to get stuck into. This Switch version may suffer some slight blurriness and FPS hiccups in portable mode but, if you can make peace with these problems, this is a highly entertaining action game at a very reasonable price.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
