    -I liked character and stage design. Not an open world (yes, that is a pro for me in this case). There is no map, made me enjoy exploration and memorisation. There are two or three puzzles that will make you think you are dumb. But when you manage solve it, oh man, that is satisfactory.
    -No combos (bad). That could be better, but the other two games were almost the same in this aspect.
    -Mechanics are simple. But I liked not finding useless garbage in each corner. There are a few items and all are usefull.
    -Story was just okay, has a couple of surprises.

    I am waiting with interest for the next chapter. With a little more funds, It only could go better.    … Expand

    Que la calificación no los engañe, Darksiders III es un juego claramente hecho con presupuesto bajo, y está dirigido al mercado como un juego de clase media, pero eso no quiere decir que no es un buen juego, creo que no me había divertido tanto con un juego desde hace mucho tiempo, es algo que Darksiders III hace bien, te mantiene siempre con ganas de jugar más.

    Lo que lo baja hasta el puntaje que le doy son algunos aspectos del gameplay que fueron mal implementados, la falta de mapa en un mundo que puede fácilmente desorientar al jugador, la mala optimización general, al menos en la versión de PC, causando que el juego corriera a menos FPS en ciertos momentos, algunos que ni siquiera parecen demandantes (nada que no se pueda arreglar con parches), e incluso sufrí un par de crasheos del juego gracias a esto, y mi PC corre Hitman 2 y cosas parecidas sin problema, y lo que yo creo que es lo peor del juego y lo que más lo termina dañando es la historia sin chiste y, principalmente, su guion mal escrito y mal implementado en la mayoría de las ocasiones.

    Son detalles que, a primera instancia, te hacen pensar que el juego es malo solo por esos aspectos, pero créeme cuando te digo que si tienes ansias de un juego que no sea de esos super caros de hacer con valores de producción estúpidamente grandes como God of War o Red Dead Redemption 2, de verdad, créeme que esto es justo lo que estas esperando, claro que tengo que decir que una mejor historia pudo haber hecho que la experiencia fuera mucho mejor, pero aun así, sigue siendo un juego y un gran precedente de un pequeño estudio que, no solo logro hacer su primer gran juego, si no que claramente se esforzó demasiado para lograr que este juego fuera justo lo que es, un juego divertido.    … Expand

    A fitting sequel to the second one, it has addictive combat and excellent lore. Loved it and the company should be proud, more games should be fan centric like this. Try this game before judging.

    Darksiders has made a comeback after half a decade with one of the best 3D metroidvania in years.

    I rarely write a review for games that I've played, but Darksiders 3 is an exception. That's a statement to how much I love it.

    Combat: Combat is fun and challenging. This game kept me on my toes most of the time, because Fury will go down after sustained a few hits. On one end, it felt out of character that one of the fabled horsemen can go down that easily, on another end, player's execution is what define how her. There were many times that she felt like a bad ass after executing flawless execution.

    The World: Gunfire Game pull world building off gracefully. The world isn't large, yet it managed to make me felt like the world is large. Each area has many their own unique personality and secrets that I felt rewarding. Areas also interconnected seamlessly with shortcuts like a soulborne game.

    Exploration in this game never felt tiresome, as there are things to be discovered hidden around in every corner. Backtracking also worthwhile most of the time as each obstacle and which ability is needed to overcome it, is obvious. So, I can easily know where should I explore whenever I got a new gear.

    Story: This game felt rushed when it come to story telling. Fury is developed very well, but some time, she developed so fast that it felt forced. The story also convoluted with conspiracies that can baffled even a fan of the series.

    Technical issues: Only problem I encountered while playing this is that the game crashed every few hours on PC.

    Overall: It may felt unpolished, but give it some time and it will grow on you. I also frustrated with the new combat system and checkpoint system, but those frustration were all gone after I understand the combat and saw that there are shortcuts that can easily take me back to where I die.    … Expand

    So, to be honest the only reason I felt any desire to write this review is because I thought that this game had a lot of negative reviews that weren't entirely fair or sensible.

Now with that preface out of the way, I'll just bluntly state that this game, while not perfect by any means, is very fun to play. I would say it is more like Darksiders 1 in its map design and main gameplay style (ie. set weapon unlocks without the rpg rng equipment drops) and you are going through dungeons to find the seven medallions to defeat Ganon and save Hyru.... sorry wrong game. Now a handful of the complaints I have seen for the game is that it tries to be like Dark Souls and I really can't help but find these comments ridiculous. Dark Souls surprisingly didn't invent dodge rolling, didn't invent difficult gameplay (so sick of all this "the Dark Souls of ___" garbage every reviewer seems to be using now) nor was it the first game to make dying a pretty big setback. Darksiders 3's dodge system is one carried over through all three games, which seems to have been forgotten, and has a simple but pretty nice counter attack mechanic for well timed dodges. The hollow mechanics are cool as well because it adds new weapons, elemental damage/damage over time along with simple little traversal abilities that allow you to return to previous areas and access new routes. For the cons, my complaints fall into what feel like balancing issues. Enemies can do a ton of damage reletive to how minor they are, which ends up becoming frustrating when you generally end up fighting at least three enemies at once and sometimes quite a few more. For a hack n slash game I found myself running away a lot just to survive encounters with fodder. The biggest issue I have with the game as it is now is it's incessant loading; I have times where I quite literally have 3 or 4 loading pauses within 10-30 steps from each other. Hopefully that stuff can be patched but right now it is incredibly annoying. For gameplay, a gripe that I can think of is that I seriously wish they added a skill tree to unlock different combos for the weapons. I know there are more things I have problems with but I can't think of them at the moment and am a bit tired of writing this. Good game, really not Dark Souls wannabe, and... Yeah that's it.… Expand

The fast travel system is way simpler and improved compared to the 1st and 2nd games. The linearity is just right so that if you are willing to explore you can be rewarded for doing so with new enhancements or items to upgrade your weapons and enhancements. I found the game to be the right length for its price and what it offers.

    Good Smooth combat, nice world which exploring is rewarding and all around great experience and the story was also pretty good. The RPG system is simple and easy to pick up and overall a great experience.

    The bad is that there is no new game plus which would be really nice, also I wish there was a world map where you could see your position in the world and the positions of the sins. The other thing is that i missed one of the sins and i think a world map would have solved the issue of finding the missing sin.(for me it was sloth)
    Id give it an 8 because its really solid not the best in the series but was really fun and offered a nice challenge but i think they should add a world map function if they continue to update it because it would fix a ton of the navigation issues when missing a sin. definitely worth being called a darksiders game.

    got to give huge credit to the developers for listening and making adjustment real quick especially with this last patch    … Expand

    CONS:
    no D U N G E O N S
    no character statistics - we've only got hp/whiteDMG/ArcaneDMG. Like, seriously?

    no armor - "base armor" tab duh, coming soon™ with DLC?
    no all the items other than simplified upgrades, few (mostly worthless) consumables and "chests" with currency

    now about the fights / gameplay:
    can't block or parry - most of the time it's about rolling around enemies. Could be assumed that THQ considered Fury to be a fragile (as stereotypical) woman who uses dodge instead of clashing weapons with enemies, as opposed to her bulky brothers
    there aren't many opponents, instead they are tough
    controls are really terrible, sometimes you can't dodge because of bad mapping, or instead from hitting the tube with whip, Fury will perform midair combo and fall down to the death because why not
    3 mobs can easily chain stuns/pushback on you - which results in the most (annoying) important part
    2-3 opponents will easily kick your ass, and 4+ is guaranteed death with mobs on the same or higher level than our character.

    PROS:
    World is cramped and small as compared to DS 1 or 2, but the way it's connected between different biomes is sensational.
    I've completed it only because of nostalgia from previous parts, at least the story is oddly satisfying, with an open ending for a DLC or smthn

    That's not a Darksiders game anymore, cutting essential parts of the game and assuming that people wanted a darksouls clone wasn't a good idea.    … Expand

All in all challenging game that's gonna take some time to knock out but super worth it for any fan of the serious or fan of a challenging hack and slash, while many will call it a "Dark Souls Clone" it's just because they have so little background knowledge of games that involve any amount of prowess to complete that they opt for the easiest comparison.… Expand

    The only thing that irritated me sometimes is that once i died at some place far away from save-point I had to go through the entire thing again,fighting the waves of monster, just because I couldn't time a single move properly and died.

    A solid game with very interesting design choices which make it quite unique compared to the previous two in the series, and that's why it's so good, as well.

    Darksiders 1 was a "Zelda meets God of War" or something along those lines, with a bit of Devil May Cry there as well, for good measure, and it's a great game, for sure, especially for its time. Darksiders 2 took the Darksiders    A solid game with very interesting design choices which make it quite unique compared to the previous two in the series, and that's why it's so good, as well.

    Darksiders 1 was a "Zelda meets God of War" or something along those lines, with a bit of Devil May Cry there as well, for good measure, and it's a great game, for sure, especially for its time.

    Darksiders 2 took the Darksiders formula, and gave it an interesting spin, expanding the levels and making it look pseudo open world, but the areas didn't really feel organically connected, at least not completely; still, it was a very good game as well, and the combat received an incredible boost both in flashiness and skill combinations. On top of that, a loot system more like a "Diablo style" game, not to that extent, but with different item qualities and upgrade systems similar to those found in some loot based ARPGs. Not bad, a nice mixture of things I love, so yeah, that was also an excellent game.

    Come the present day and we have Darksiders 3 here and man, they did it again. Gunfire revived a once thought "lost" franchise and built an excellent game, once again, since most of the developers already worked on the previous games, and it's quite obvious.

    What I love the most in this game is the whole world, it's completely (and that's a true 100%) interconnected in a seamless way, something the previous games didn't do to the same extent, for technical reasons I suppose. This game feels more metroidvania than the previous ones, as in navigating the world is, in itself, something crucial and part of the gameplay and general enjoyment of the game. You will learn how the levels are connected, because you will have to go back to most if not all of the areas you've visited, in several occasions. The more new skills and goodies you unlock, the newer paths and ways to explore and get better loot you will find.

    This game doesn't have the same loot system than DS2, it's more similar to that of DS1, as in you have your main weapon, secondary ones and some special ones received via power ups (your Hollows). You will upgrade both your weapons and some especial items called enhancements, that you'll want to socket into any of your weapons, all of them can carry one of these powerful enhancements, each one coming with a nice active ability, and then a passive one which will be active even if you never use that weapon, which is pretty handy and makes up for the lack of skill tree which was present in DS2, a little bit.

    That, combined with stat point distribution when you level up (via the same soul system used in the previous games to buy stuff from our old pal Vulgrim), allows to make some interesting builds suited to your preferred play style; you can go full physical damage, arcane which is cool if you are good at landing those perfect dodges and the counters that follow (massive damage if building full arcane, I tell you), be very tanky if you want with a bigger health pool...or just go hybrid and play the way you want, mixing things up.

    The combat is very, very responsive, with sufficient combos and skill combinations when mixing up normal (whip) with hollow attacks (equivalent to the strong attack in previous games, or the other equipped weapon in DS1/2), the use of wrath to do a super powered up move which varies depending on the current active hollow power and last but not least...the Havoc form, which is like chaos and death transformations from DS1/2. Everything is there, and it's good, very good, it's one of the most fluid combat systems I've played in a long, long time.

    This is all from my own experience, after 30 hours playing with mouse and keyboard. The game could be improved a little with some minor quality of life stuff when it comes to keyboard keybinds, minor things like hold to lock-on, which only works on gamepad (but the normal lock toggle does work) and things like that. Still pretty playable for me, just like the previous two games which I also completed with mouse and keyboard only.

    Overall, I have to say that I don't really understand why some reviewers (talking about the professional ones especially) gave this game such low scores, like they didn't even try to play the game properly or something? Did they play the previous ones? Complaints about "it's like Darksouls, don't like it" are absolutely ridiculous: the only thing in common with those series is the difficulty, at least on Challenging and Apocalyptic, and perhaps the level design which is pretty interconnected, and we have no map whatsoever. That's where the comparisons with Darksouls should end, because the rest of the game is not like those games, at all, it's a Darksiders game, unique on its own, even compared to the previous ones; You can find things in common with its predecessors, but also new stuff that has been very cleverly designed, in my opinion.

    Overall, an excellent Darksiders game, which revitalizes the franchise in a good way.    … Expand

    An Excellent entry to the Darksiders franchise.
    It's different from the earlier ones, ramping up the difficulty, and making a little more "soulslike" e.g. You drop your currency when you die, but you can get it back, it shows mercy compared to Dark Souls by the fact that dying again does not make them disappear.

There are many other comparisons to dark souls you could make, but an equal, if not greater amount of differences.
    I played through the game on "Apocalyptic", and while this did make some of the huge cast of enemies feel cheap, the challenge was worth it and intricately dodging and weaving made the combat feel very satisfying when I got to that point.

    Level design is top notch with interesting paths, puzzles and secrets, connecting every area to every other with "oh so that's where that went" moments like a good Metroidvania. The game lets you explore which makes you feel very smart when you figure out how to get to the place you want to go. Following the main objective was made easy (unlike what some reviewers might have said) by following the skull on the compass, but the joy of exploration is never taken away from you. Whenever you can see an area, it likely means you can reach it, like other famous adventure games.

    The Art is fantastic in style, in more than one way of the word, and still matches the style of Darksiders 2, even after migrating to Unreal Engine 4, some of the newer characters do seem to have evolved a little more than the older ones and not necessarily in the best way, but it still fits.

    Performance takes a hit when a lot of particles are on screen, which clearly missed an optimization pass, hugging a waterfall drives it down by double digits, but otherwise it runs fine on a modern system. Loading is done "elegantly" for the most part, with short interlude sections like crawlspaces to hide loading screens.

    TLDR; More Soulslike in a good way, Great metroidvania leveldesign, very little handholding, excellent art, performance is generally fine except for lots of particles. Great.    … Expand

    There are some slight drawbacks to this game. The graphics could be better, as this game looks like a good game from the previous gen, however it really has no impact on the gameplay, and understanding the limitations in budget for this game, they have done a great job, creating some awesome looking character models!
    Another negative is that when you get hit and staggered, there is no invincibility frames, so if you get unlucky and a few enemies hit you at once, you die instantly. This only happened a few times in the game but seeing as similar games have this feature, i believe it should be include.
    Also the game is a bit short, taking 16hrs to complete the main game and all side objectives, however i thoroughly enjoyed that time!

    A lot of people are saying this game is a dark souls clone, and as someone who has played all of the souls games, this is not true. It has elements similar to these games such as the interconnected level design, game difficulty and leveling system, however the combat alone makes it far more like devil may cry and bayonetta.

    Also being a fan of these games, i would say that if you enjoy the game and combat style of the devil may cry and bayonetta series, then you will have a great time with this game. It is due to this reason, as well as it's different style that i believe a lot of people are giving this game unfavorable reviews.

    If you're looking for a Darksouls game or a Zelda like game like the early titles, then this is not your game, although you certainly can still enjoy it. At it's core, this game is an adventure hack and slash RPG where the fun comes from tearing apart a tonnes of enemies with flashy combat moves!    … Expand

Don’t get me wrong they are still in this game but so far and in between that you can notice the miss opportunity they had to make it great. With Fury’s abilities and how they change not just combat but how she interacts with this world it makes you wonder why there isn’t more puzzles like the previous games. There is a clear inspiration from Dark Souls in this game, but it blends in nicely with the combat in my opinion. Betting it in the challenging difficulty was tedious at first but as you progress and get more upgrades and understand the combat more it gets easier.

    In conclusion, I enjoy Darksiders 3 a lot and it continues to show the developers are inspired by many great games and put it in a very interesting world. It’s sad to see the Zelda inspiration less in this installment but their approach was nothing short then great.    … Expand

Maybe some enjoy the new mechanics, but i for one didn't sign up for this slow paced game. I loved the speed and the power you held in the previous games. if you're good enough to react to the mobs of enemies it threw at you DMC style, then the game rewarded you. Normally these kinds of games welcome the challenges of having to react to multiple people and angles at once, whereas now one person can kill you. You really felt like a true Rider of the Apocalypse then!!! Now...i feel like a vulnerable (hunter) where one combo could mean your death. If the enemy hits you, you're going for a ride, and if you're combo'ing the enemy, his armor frames eat your attacks, and your going for a ride again. I don't feel strong, i don't feel the fury, i don't feel the darksiders series anymore. You'd think they'd expand on what they had, maybe make the game faster and more hectic, which is what made people fall in love with the last 2...no. The art is lack luster and just like the 2nd, so no upgrade there. You could tell that no love went into the game as there are MANY bugs in the game AND the game crashes often on the PS4 at least. Plus, the combo system is officially a hack and slash like the "bloodsouls" or "soulborne" series. There's nothing left for me here anymore....if you feel the same way, DO NOT GET THIS GAME!

    Qutie hard to predict the enemies sometimes .

    Also,no checkpoint before entering boss room.
    Why?

    I don't mind it not being so much open world as long as they can tell a good story and still have a good atmosphere.

    As a sequel in a story viewpoint?Yeah,it does everything needed to continue the story in a normal way. Nothing bad here,but in a gameplay standpoint well...Let's just say Darksiders 2 is the better here.

    Respect for the company still trying to make this game,I can see they want to make another darksiders with stirfe,I hope they sell enough for it.

    Game is not perfect but it's good enough.Hope patches will fix some of the camera bugs.    … Expand

    Like many of you, I've been patiently waiting for the release of Darksiders 3. For the longest time, I didn't think it would happen. With THQ's bankruptcy and the IP acquisition by Nordic. Then when I learned it would I was excited. I could patiently wait to see what the new developer would bring. But now that it has? I almost wish it hadn't.

    To begin with the new Horseman, Fury, is a subpar character. It's like Gunfire Games went out of their way to make her unlikeable after giving her such an amazing new weapon. Sure these are the Horseman of the Apocalypse and not the nicest Nephilim on Earth but she comes off as the Starscream of the Decepticons. Whiney, petulant, and self-serving. She doesn't want to save her brothers out of any sense of familial responsibility. She wants to save them so she can be the boss.

    This newest entry to the franchise undoes a lot of the improvements made in Darksiders 2 over the original. This game is less focused on finding new gear and weapons and powering them up. Instead, you'll focus on gaining new abilities.

    The game also places a heavy emphasis on puzzle solving and platforming. However, some of the puzzles aren't intuitive and are just downright frustrating, not fun. Also in the early game, Fury's jumps are awkward and do not handle well. This takes what should be one of the highlights of the game, the environment, and makes it frustrating to navigate around in.

    It's not all doom and gloom though. One nice thing is that within the first few minutes of actual gameplay you'll be in your first boss battle. The bosses are not easy. Some of them are as much puzzle as they are combat. This boss immediately sets that tone.

    The two things I enjoyed the most about the game was the aesthetics and Fury's chain swords. It looked like an evolution of the Darksiders Franchise. As soon as I hopped in I felt, yep, this is a Darksiders game. Also playing with the new chain weapon was a lot of fun over just the standard sword. Unfortunately, the rest of the experience didn't pan out.

    I played an advanced review copy on the XBox One X provided by the developer and the game suffered from unsteady frame rates. I also had the game crash after defeating a sin and I had to replay the entire stage, which while not too difficult is a bit of a gut punch. It goes from a triumphant to a defeated moment in the blink of an eye. Hopefully, this is something they can patch in the near future.    … Expand

    I'm loving it. Yep, it may be not as good as the first two but don't forget this is a low budget game developed by a small group of people. The art is different without Madureira but still beautiful and pretty solid to me. Fury design is lit and I love the combat mechanics and combos.
    I hope this sells well. They deserve it.

The weapon of the main heroine of Fury is a whip, it feels very good, the impact from the battle of opponents is felt, and the innovation in terms of dodging is rather unusual and sometimes difficult, but this is a matter of habit! I also want to add that the waiting time was not in vain, the new game on the modern engine is vigorously felt and has a great right to life. Slightly upset saving on checkpoints at certain points, and at death can sometimes be very far back and have to collect lost souls in battle and kill the same mobs on the way to the goal! The game is a good advise to all lovers of this series and slashers in general!… Expand

    6 Years. Not many series' I can think of can go full Schrodinger's Cat for 6 years and come back in true form, and I'm pleased to say that Darksiders is back.

I've stayed reserved since the announcement, but seeing that my doubts seem to be unfounded thus far. While I've heard reviews on Steam and other sites regarding "bad optimization", it's really not that bad. I'm running a 6700k @ 4.2, a 980, and 16 gigs of RAM, and I've experienced one frame drop so far during the first boss fight, which is great because it defaulted to maxed out settings. Secondly you hear a lot about "hurr durr dark souls clone". Does it have some things in common with Dark Souls? Yes, like having a healing item that functions similarly to the Estus flasks we all know and love, but to me the similarities end there. I have had some difficulty with it so far, but that might because I set the difficulty to Apocalyptic instead of Normal, having played through the first 2 games a fair bit.

    While it's different from previous entries, like how Darksiders 2 was different than the first game, it is assuredly still Darksiders. Same satisfying hack, slash, dodge combat, now with an attribute system, while retaining upgrades for weapons (Slottable enhancements, and you can talk to the Maker you meet shortly after the first boss to upgrade)    … Expand

    5. Combos are still here ;) I know it's not so "hardcore" to learn and use them, but I love how their visuals and their effectiveness.
    6. Multiple reviews were wrong - there is visible world, many of locations are not just caves or hallways. Yes, you can't go wherever you want, it's not real open world, but a) visually it's not closed space, b) it's hack&slash with puzzles, nobody promised GTA-style RPG.
    7. You can still configure development of your hero, you can use a lot of different "consumables" (shards) to change your fight, game is flexible.    … Expand

    Darksiders 1 and 2 were a mix between Zelda and DMC. This time around the game tries to go it's own way and suffers for it. My biggest gripe is that there is no more dungeons in the game, that's right! The best thing about the old games are gone. Now the game is only a long hallway with some monsters in the way

    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.
