The Darkness
The Darkness follows hitman Jackie Estacado as he seeks revenge against his mafia crime family for trying to assassinate him, while dealing with the ancient demonic force called the Darkness that has consumed Jackie and gives him tentacles and other powers. The game, released in 2007, is based off the comic of the same name.
While The Darkness 2 is available through Xbox One backwards compatibility, the original title is still a fine game. It was most noteworthy for allowing you to watch full movies, such as To Kill A Mockingbird and The Man with the Golden Arm, alongside the protagonist’s girlfriend in one scene where they are sitting on the couch together and the player does not touch any of the controls. The sequel did expand on the franchise with more combat options, but this is a good game for those interested in the series who do not own an Xbox 360.
