There’s no direct story-telling in DARQ, instead we’re left to piece things together as we play. It also makes use of Smart Delivery so if you already own it now is a great time to jump back in, and if not, well, you shouldn’t miss out on it.

Originally released a while back on last gen, this is the Series S|X version I checked out, offering up the usual plethora of enhancements as well as bundling in the two DLC levels previously released. Put simply, it is one of the finer 2 hours gaming I’ve spent this year. And wouldn’t you know it, DARQ fits that exact bill. I’m also a fan of dark storytelling and visuals, simple yet effective puzzle mechanics, and games that pitch the pace well. I oft made it known how much I appreciate shorter, more succinct games these days gone are endless hours spent in a single title.
