This follows the tradition of modern remasterered video games where they improve the fidelity of the graphics without improving the polygon count.  This creates a situation where the textures are a lot more beautiful, but the models are exactly the same.  Any problems with models stands out even more with the improved graphics fidelity.  Overall, yes, the graphics are better.

The problem is that the game is so utterly fantastic that I still 100% recommend it.

Darksiders is a game that combined the best of Legend of Zelda and Devil May Cry, and combined with elements from other games, made one of the best games every created.  There has honestly never been an Action-Adventure Metroidvania game as good as the original Darksiders.

It out Devil May Cry’s Devil May Cry.  It out Legend of Zelda’s Legend of Zelda, it out God of War’s God of War, it out Onimusha’s Onimusha.

The only Action Adventure games I would say are comparable are Ghost of Tsushima, and it’s direct Sequel, Darksiders II.

Ghost of Tsushima is a different enough game that it’s difficult to compare them directly, and is best to say they are both utterly fantastic games.

Darksiders II is not quite a good as the original, but definitely makes itself a completely different game, to the point it’s worth playing both of them.  Any other Darksiders game was not made by the same company, and is no where near in quality.

Dark Souls games are also different enough that it’s difficult to directly compare them.

Devil May Cry has had inconsistent games, and the HD collection doesn’t even let you remap the controls to the original form.  Seriously, seriously.  For the record, Devil May Cry game by order of quality.

Devil May Cry 3:  After the low-ball cash in sequel, this 100% took the Devil May Cry premise, and made it better.  Dante is younger.  They made his fighting style look rougher while being more useful.  It combined almost all of the best elements of the series.  Still, a few quibbles, (the American Normal difficulty was set to the Japanese Hard, Cerberus doesn’t have an Air Hike, and turning Ground Trip from one of the most useful abilities in the game to something that has never recovered).

Devil May Cry 5:  A saving throw after the incredibly annoying DMC4.  They made a fantastic effort to tie everything together in a great way, but it still isn’t as quite as good as 3.  Cavalier is now my favourite Devilarm, though.

Devil May Cry:  The original, and still mid on the list.  DMC was originally created as a control system for Leon Kennedy from Resident Evil, but it didn’t make any sense as an RE game.  The game did a lot of good, but they also just throw a bunch of other stuff against the window to see what hit.  Overall, still a great game.

Devil May Cry 4:  Play through it once.  That’s all you need.  It does have some wonderful elements that add to the series overall, but also has some really stupid/idiotic things.

Ah, Darksiders.
