BELLY APPROVED" lang: en --- Image: The Darkness II (https://base44.app/api/apps/6a8733184599b395d22f69cf/files/mp/public/6a8733184599b395d22f69cf/35dd52e02_TheDarknessII.jpg) # The Darkness II Belly Score 9.0 Platform Microsoft Windows: https://bellyscore.com/best/platform/microsoft-windows, PlayStation 3: https://bellyscore.com/best/platform/playstation-3, Xbox 360: https://bellyscore.com/best/platform/xbox-360, macOS: https://bellyscore.com/best/platform/macos Genre FPS: https://bellyscore.com/best/genre/fps, Action: https://bellyscore.com/best/genre/action Released Feb 7, 2012: https://bellyscore.com/best/year/2012 Developer Digital Extremes Publisher 2K Games About Step into the blood-soaked shoes of Jackie Estacado, a mob boss who has traded his soul for the ability to rip his enemies to shreds. This isn't your standard run-and-gun shooter; it’s a chaotic, supernatural power trip where you wield dual firearms alongside two demonic, tentacled arms that tear through thugs like wet tissue paper. With a striking, hand-painted comic book aesthetic, the game leans hard into its gritty, occult roots. It’s a short, punchy, and unapologetically violent dive into a world of mob politics and ancient, soul-crushing darkness that refuses to let you look away.
