    It's a game with insane combat that flirts with Souls Like, in addition to having a very good and intuitive progression system, it lacked better elaboration of the maps and making them more specific, otherwise, a very good game.

    Esse foi um jogo que fui com um pouco de medo em função das criticas mas acabei aproveitando e curtindo bastante!

    ---== Gráficos ==-- Até pela diferença grande de tempo entre cada um deles, o 3 possui gráficos um pouco melhores em comparação aos anteriores. Cenários mais detalhados armadura e arma um pouco mais detalhadas, Mas nada que encha os olhos e mostre uma tremenda evolução.

    ---== Gráficos ==--
    Até pela diferença grande de tempo entre cada um deles, o 3 possui gráficos um pouco melhores em comparação aos anteriores. Cenários mais detalhados armadura e arma um pouco mais detalhadas, Mas nada que encha os olhos e mostre uma tremenda evolução. O que é feio na minha opinião são as expressões faciais... essas são bem ruinzinhas.

    ---== História ==--
    Segue diretamente o acontecimento dos jogos anteriores, portanto é muito recomendado que jogue o Darksiders 1 e 2 (até porque são bons). Infelizmente o jogo agrega pouca coisa nova a lore do jogo, tanto que os Boss aparentemente são completamente irrelevantes pra história. Porém ainda sim a sequencia de eventos é divertida, existe uma evolução da Fury e o fim tem uma conexão forte com os jogos anteriores e deixa um gancho maravilhoso pro 4.
    Resumindo: poderia ser bem melhor, mas é ok.

    ---== Gameplay ==--
    Confesso que estranhei no começo por ser diferente dos demais, porém não sou daqueles que acredita que uma sequencia não possa ter uma forma diferente de gameplay. Nesse jogo a importância de pensar antes de amassar botões é bem importante, bem como o treino de esquiva, nas dificuldade maiores qualquer inimigo é perigoso se não se atentar a esquiva.

    Existem mais tipos de armas que nos anteriores porém acredito que a forma de progressão do jogo te obrigue a escolher o chicote e +1, pois os recursos para evolução são escassos portanto eu pelo menos foquei apenas no chicote e no martelo pois ele quebra defesa.

    A exploração ainda existe nesse jogo porém ela também é diferente. Não existe um mapa para poder se guiar e as referencias são as serpent holes do Vulgrim. Toda a exploração é numa região "pequena" da Terra podendo adentrar subsolo, catacumbas e etc.
    Até por conta do cenário em ruínas não existe uma exploração épica, ou mudanças grandes nos cenários como quando reativamos a Maker's Forge no 2.
    No 3 é necessário utilizar a variação de poderes para solucionar os puzzles porém na minha opinião os puzzles do 2 eram muito mais legais.

    Agora uma coisa que achei um absurdo é que em 2023 quando joguei esse jogo ainda é MUITO frequente a queda de fps. Já é travado em no máximo 60 fps, mas em alguns momentos chegou a 35 fps em um pc com 32GB de RAM, RTX 3060 TI e Ryzen 7 5800X. Acho um absurdo a frequência com que essas quedas aconteciam.

    ---== Resumo ==--
    Trata-se de um bom jogo, com uma história ok dentro de uma lore muito boa, as mecânicas desagradaram muitos jogadores antigos da franquia, porém não acho que elas sejam ruins, apenas diferentes.
    Poderia ter um equilíbrio melhor na progressão para que valesse a pena utilizar todas as armas, mas nada que comprometa.
    As DLCs agregam um conteúdo bem interessante, com o Crucible já conhecido e a Keepers of the Void com foco em exploração e com uma recompensa muito boa. Recomendo muito pegar o pacote com as duas expansões.
    Comprei a versão Deluxe por R$23,49 e senti que valeu DEMAIS a pena o que recebi x o valor pago.    … Expand

    An excellent continuation of the series. The gameplay perfectly conveys that we are playing for a less powerful but more agile rider. The design of the locations resembled Dark Souls 1, which is very pleasing, as in the game, as in the previous parts, there are a large number of puzzles. Very nice graphics and beautiful bosses.

    This is the third game in the Darksiders franchise. You play as Fury, she is a hot-headed character with very few likable character moments in the game. The story revolves around her catching the seven deadly sins which have escaped their prison. The overall game is good and continues the story of the aftermath of the destruction of Earth

    Played it while it was on Xbox Game Pass. A very pleasant, albeit crooked game. I don't understand people who mix this game with **** Of course, like any slasher, this game is capable of strangling at some point. For me, it was the boss moment - Greed. And so in general, very useful mechanics, albeit an oblique slasher. So I recommend it.

    By far the best game in the series, using Dark Souls style mechanics that were very challenging to master, but a lot of fun.

    The control scheme they give you sucks, I changed mine more to Witcher 3 style (dodge using alt, sprint using shift) and that helped a lot.

    I am a fan of the franchise. At first i was not a friend of the "souls like" approuch of the game, but it is a fresh take on the formula. I liked the rogue like approach and that you didnt have a real main map and you had to find the way your self. riddles could have been better and mor like in darksiders 2.

    They fixed the biggest weakness of the series by making it more difficult. I appreciate the intelligent design. Darksiders I and II were way too easy. I don't like running a knife through butter. When it takes a long time to kill a boss until you finally figure out the right strategy and beat him after a million tries, it is much more rewarding.

    I am one of those people who like this game more than its predecessors. First I thought that the "Souls" like gameplay does not fit the game, but I got to love it over time. Love the character Fury, she is true to her name, love the bosses and enviroments. The force hollow powers are great and there are just the right amount of puzzles, unlike 2 where for my taste there are too many.

    Darksiders III is not the best game of the franchise, but it should definitely be played, because it isn't a bad game either.

If you are a fan of this series of games, Darksiders III should be on your list, most especially because of the respect for the developers who tried to revive the franchise with a next title. The story of Darksiders III takes place after the events depicted in the previous games and is starring Fury, which is the third horserman of the Apocalypse, in her chase after the Seven Deadly Sins. The story is simple, not too complex, but quite playable enough and of course, the plot-twists don't miss out of the party. The graphic is ok, not very realistic, looking a lot more like that of Torchlight games and like the previous titles of the franchise, but this was not a real problem. The gameplay was good enough, with some elements which you can find in the previous games too, like the need to return to some place in the game and make way on there, because you've unlocked a new power and a new item to help you. What I really did like about the gameplay is the fact that you can choose whether the game should be a classical hack & slash games, or more like a Dark Souls's experience. This is a new feature and it's an improvement to the game and should be imported in the next games too. What I didn't like about this game is the fact that it has the FPS capped, but fortunately this problem could be immediately resolved in some certain settings. In conclusion, I still believe that Darksiders III should be played if you are a fan of the franchise, because the gameplay and the game are not so bad overall, and because I am certain that will be next incoming titles in the future.… Expand

    High quality action adventure game with some RPG elements.
    The world is beautiful, level design is smart and interconnected, combat system is challenging and fun.
    The only thing it lacks is diversity in character progression, weapons and armor.

    Amazing design leves, humored dialogues, enjoyable and precise combat, weapons and abilities that stands out. The game is really good, but indeed pulls itself afar from the previous entries and so it may have disappointed some fans. But it is really worth a shot.
    Played in challenging mode from the begining and it feels tough at a times but nothing impossible, almost like a souls experience.

    Darksiders 3 does a lot of stuff wrong. True fans will be grateful that it exists, but this game is a below average action platformer that tries to be something that is not.

    Darksiders III feels like a trip to a museum, which of course doesn’t have to be a drawback. Its antiquated design has a certain charm and made me realize that I miss simplicity and compactness in bloated modern open-world games. Unfortunately Gunfire’s effort is messy – it’s rough around the edges, it made a step backwards in terms of RPG elements and environmental puzzles, some design choices are dubious, the combat system is imprecise, and there are a lot of bugs and glitches on top of all that. As a result Darksiders III can compete neither with modern action titles, nor with previous games in the series. [01/2019, p.82]

    There’s precious little to elevate Darksiders 3 to the level of the previous two games, let alone its peers in 2018. It’s a game that offers few surprises, few challenges, and few moments of greatness. What it does, it does to a satisfactory level and never kicks on from there. But there’s something about Darksiders 3 that still sort of works though. It’s a B-tier production, without a shadow of a doubt, but it’s the sort of thing that doesn’t actually come along all that often these days. Fans of the series will no doubt get a kick out of the continuing story and there’s just enough here to help Darksiders 3 stand out and make for an entertaining playthrough.
