A respectable 81 average that never found its audience. Horror that commits — its own thing atmosphere, real dread, and scares that aren't cheap. Worth it for the campaign alone — the multiplayer stuck around and became its own thing.

About this game

The Darkness features a distinct blend of dark modern crime drama and supernatural horror with intense first person non-linear gameplay. The game is a dynamic first person shooter that allows players to call upon the forces of the evil underworld as they fight in gritty, urban environments.

On his 21st birthday, mafia hit man Jackie Estacado is possessed by an ancient demonic force called The Darkness. This further complicates his relationships with his mafia family, a corrupt police department and his childhood love Jenny.
