Story
The story initially focuses on the origin of Jackie's powers, which he inherits after being nearly assassinated by his adopted uncle, Paulie, who wants to get rid of him so that he assume complete control of the mob. Following this incident, Jackie is transported to a hellish realm where he discovers that he is part of an extended lineage of hosts for a malevolent creature known as The Darkness. Although their relationship is symbiotic at first, a power struggle eventually ensues with Jackie trying to retain his humanity while actively seeking revenge.Gameplay
As a first-person shooter, The Darkness adheres to many of the usual conventions typical for the genre, with gunfights being the norm, but the inclusion of special powers also allows players to do various things such as summon various "darklings" to fight alongside them, use tentacles to impale enemies, break down walls, or sneak through vents to gain an element of surprise. Light and shadow also have major effects on Jackie as he is significantly stronger in dark areas.

Playa Conchal resort plunged into darkness twice last night due to power failure. Only lasted a few seconds, but worth it for the starscape.
