    Great game. Very satisfying combat and good narrative pacing thoughout the game. Play on harder difficulties, it's more satisfying.

    It feels wrong that the third game in AAA series has lower budget and so - lower quality. Core gameplay moved towards Dark Souls - it was unexpected, and I don't think it's right to change core gameplay that much.

Some autosave locations are very questionable to say the least, especially for game with that many bugs.
    But overall - I really enjoyed Darksiders 3. It surprisingly felt like something new, and it's a real game! Challenging and rewarding.    … Expand

    The worst of the series. They tried to change this game like souls but they failed badly. Ps plus gave it this month free but i tell you that it’s not worth your time. They have a very good game like Darksiders II but why did they ruin it i guess i’ll never know.

    The other darksiders games quickly made you feel like a badass, which mostly carried the horrible stories of these games. But this time around, theres a B-movie like smirk to everything Fury says, its cringe at best.

    On top of that, what really ruined the game for me, is how everyone including Fury herself is constantly blabbering about how she is the toughest and most amazing of all the horsemen...
    YET, she feels 200% weaker in every aspect than any of the others, constantly getting hit when theres multiple enemies because first attack is AOE, next one is direct line ahead - meaning the enemies on the sides are free to hit you allready at 2nd attack.
    Everything about the combat is unprecise and feels more like luck + buttonmashing than anything skillbased.
    Theres just so many bad things about this game in so short time, the firebeetles, the doublejumping when she can hardly lift herself off the ground. Why doublejump if the first jump only hardly raises you in the air?... it just makes the animation look so silly and makes her feel even more clunky and stupid.
    I loved the first game, I liked the 2nd - so naturally this game is a huge dislike, I wont be trying an eventual 4th game - since I will probably freaking hate it, way to ruin a franchise boys.    … Expand

    Good B rank game. Each game of the Darkesiders series has its own face, and this game of the series is no exception. This time there are all signs of Dark Souls games and I liked it.

    Played the game on the Apocalyptic setting, trying to get all the achievements. Started out great but died at first boss and had to start all over again at the start of the first level instead of at the boss. Game deleted never to be played again... 0/10

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Compared to the first game, this looks unfinished and absolutely not enjoyable, mainly due to the very high amount of bugs.
    On paper the game looks great - action game with hack and slash rpg elements and some inspiration of the soulsborne games, but in reality the game is rotten to the core - infested with bugs and untested boss encounters.
    Being a fan of the soulsborne games, I had good expectations , but boy I was wrong - I started the game on apocalyptic difficulty, the combat felt good, the enemies were fine, but as you progress in the game, it becomes more and more evident how flawed the code behind it is - almost every 15-20 minute there was a bug - sometimes graphical, other times something more serious - game breaking bugs that require restart in order for you to progress (for an example the beetles that you're supposed to throw at objectives after they're fed with red/purple goo, so they'd explode - not once or twice I've seen them spawn from the yellow nest up during a fight and totally disappear at the end of the fight, causing progression to be impossible until a restart is made - this and a few other bugs that kept re-occuring made the game really frustrating).

    In regards to the untested encounters - the first one that pops up right away is Gluttony - this abomination, not only as boss but as mechanics is the buggiest **** I've played against - it is TOTALLY broken, which made it INSANELY frustrating to kill - the boss has relatively small skillset - first phase there are ~5 abilities, which on paper looks fine and boss is easy, but the way they transit from one to another skillset is very sudden, and there is no time to react at all - the sweeping tentacle happens so fast that you absolutely cannot reach the safe zone without being hit, then there's the sudden sucking phase - boss starts to consume air and everything around him. If you've not made some distance before this happens he insta kills you on apocalyptic difficulty - the problem here is that it happens suddenly - there's no warning or some specific animation - it is very similar to normal boss attack.
    There was this reddit post about one of other bosses - Avarice - the boss can become invulnerable to almost all of Fury's attacks - while only Havoc form can damage him.
    Other bugs include entering a timeless cycle of boss corpse vanishing after being killed and before the animation after its death starts, which restarting the game from the last checkpoint does not fix.
    This and many other bugs make the experience from this game dreadful - and while the soulsborne games are punishing and unfair from challenge perspective - this game is punishing and unfair because it is not a finished product, flawed with many bugs and unpolished elements.    … Expand

    First of all, I'd like to say i'm a huge Darksiders fan. I loved the first 2 games, which i played on 360. But i had an extreme love/hate relationship with Darksiders 3 on PS4. I'll try and break it down into bite-size segments below...

    Graphics: While the graphics are nothing to write home about, they aren't too bad. Character models, especially Fury and the seven sins, are great.

I'll try and break it down into bite-size segments below...

    Graphics:
    While the graphics are nothing to write home about, they aren't too bad. Character models, especially Fury and the seven sins, are great. The real problem stems from performance issues. The game constantly drops frame rates, stutters and freezes for 5-10 seconds while loading new assets/areas during gameplay. There's no reason why a game with such basic graphics should struggle to run 5 years into a console generation. It's just poorly optimised and there's no excuse for that.

    Gameplay:
    This is probably the worst part of the game. The combat has been patched and now includes a "Classic" mode which is much better than the default mode. Still, even with this classic mode, the combat is extremely poor in this game. Very unresponsive and the game and camera just don't allow for multiple enemies. When fighting groups, it's easy to be blindsided and attacked by enemies you can't see. This is made worse by the fact your health drains so quickly. Really, why does health drain so fast in this game? Just scrap the health bar and give us 3 hit boxes instead. Also, items don't work whilst your in an animation. Be that a combo, or being hit by enemies. I've died countless times while spamming up on the D-pad to use a healing item but it wouldn't register as i was in some animation loop from being hit to death by multiple enemies. There's no map, making exploration a little frustrating at times. it's also makes knowing where to go next impossible at times. The Metroidvania aspect of the game does work well. Making it fun to explore old areas with new abilities to see what secrets you can find. The save system on this game is utter garbage. It auto-saves (usually but not always) when you reach Vulgrim at one of his serpent holes. And when you quit the game. However, i have loaded saves up several times and had to replay anything from 15 minutes to over an hour again because it hadn't saved.

    Overview:
    I did manage to platinum this game. I loved Fury as a character and while the story wasn't on par with the first 2 games, it was serviceable. There were times when i loved playing Darksiders 3. But they were soon ruined by times of frustration due to poor game mechanics, technical glitches and the game crashing more than its fair share. I feel there is a good game here at its core. It's just marred by so many technical issues and gameplay mechanics than ruin the experience. Which only makes it all the more frustrating, that this could have been a good game and wasn't.    … 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

    This game came out relatively unannounced during a time of AAA botch jobs and in light of this is one of the better releases of 2018. Not outstanding, but very solid game nonetheless. Worth the money if you are a fan of the series. Considering the development Hell this game went through I am surprised it turned out as well as it did.

    Gameplay is solid and engaging but very punishing. The difficulty will dropkick you in the face within the first 5 minutes, even on normal setting. I am by no means a difficulty-worshipping masochist but I find this to be a welcome change of pace compared to the first two games.

    The loot system and semi-sandbox style gameplay elements seen in Darksiders 2 have been done away with in favour of a more focused and traditional action RPG experience. A good change imo since i do not feel a fast and frantic genre of games should be bogged down by proper RPG inventory management and tiny gear upgrades in the form of drops.

    Graphics are clean and crisp with a highly stylized cartoony art style which fits the game's setting quite well.

    It does have some nagging technical issues like framerate drops here and there, ultrawide not being 100% supported and cutscenes being capped at 30 fps. The double jump also feels a little off at times but overall these are very minor issues.

    It gets an 8 from me because of its tight gameplay, coherent visual presentation and the fact that it really is a game that has a lot of heart put into it, which is an increasingly rare thing in today's big money gaming business.    … Expand

    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

    Darksiders 3 is different than other Darksiders games. To be honest every Darksiders game is somehow different than other. And that is not bad, that developers experiment with the game.
    A bit about frustrating gameplay at launch: First impression on release date for the game was about 2/10. Terrible graphic, terrible combat, terrible difficulty. And yes, I don't like Dark souls like    Darksiders 3 is different than other Darksiders games. To be honest every Darksiders game is somehow different than other.

    A bit about frustrating gameplay at launch: First impression on release date for the game was about 2/10. Terrible graphic, terrible combat, terrible difficulty. And yes, I don't like Dark souls like combat style. 1 months later and few more patches and this game from 2/10 became for me 8/10. Just the change for combat system improve the game so much, that it started to feel already like darksiders game. Dificulty maybe was tuned as well. Pre-patch I hardly killed first boss even on easy, after patch I completed the game on apocalyptic (how I said, never was a Dark Souls fan). So if you didn't like the game at the start, its worth trying now for sure. Darksiders 3 has one very big problem that first 1 hours is not so interesting, especially with the old combat system. Tutorial is terrible and when you die over and over and kill same 5 mobs before envy for 10th time, this is really bad.
    About the game:
    - The game may not have the best graphic or the best story so far, but that doesn't make it bad game. Actually I pretty much liked all aspect of darksiders after few hours of gameplay.
    - Checkpoint system is a bit strange and anoying at the begin with constant need to clear same enemies over and over again. With adding few more serpent holes in the latest patch, actually you understand that the idea is that every area should provide some kind of challenge and puzzles, which you need to pass without dieing. Serpents are enough in order, to not make too big areas without any ability to save your progress. Game difficulty in my opinion is perfect. I feel constantly challenged on apocalyptic.
    - What about open world? This kind of game are not really design for open world. There are few different type of zones, where every zone has its own type of enemies and theme. It feel different enough in order to be thrilled by every zone. Of course as in ever action game, enemy mechanics sometimes feel similar, but in this genre, this is not something too strange. All gameplay zones are connected with each other in very interesting way and you can definetly say that it is open world exploration, even if it is not standard one. But the fact that it is semi open world is not the advantage of the game. The advantage for me was, all secret areas hidden all over the map, which you can found only with exploration. And this is not exploration, which is absolutely sided out of the main line, you meed all this secrets on your way to kill next Sin. And you know that you want to looked at every corner of the room before you go to next one. Serpent holes definetly help if you accidently missed something important and want to go back. To be honest it felt like an new God of War in terms of open world. GoW was a bit more polished as graphic and experience maybe, but anyway Darksiders is good enough.
    - I liked revamped combat system. It felt much better than on launch. A lot of people say that there aren't a lot of weapons, but I can't understand how it happens that there aren't a lot of weapons if we had 6. Most Actions/Slashers has same numbers of weapons. For example Shadow of the Tomb Raider has 4, God Of War has 3(4 if we count Atreus bow), shadow of war has 2. Enhancements was really nice addition to tune your gameplay in the way you want. Bosses are a bit easy and not so fun.
    - RPG/Talents element: Ok this game don't have modern tallent tree from few different branches and type of gameplays. But does that make it bad? No... I would say something more even, it doesn't reflect on the gameplay at all. Most of the new games has pointless stupid talents system, which don't do any differences and sux. Why would you need talent tree which first cut half of the gameplay, and than you spend time to add all interesting gameplay mechanics. For example in latest Tomb Raider, talent tree was so useless, that I even didn't found something which affected may gameplay somehow (here we talk for the highest dificulty). In God of War it was a bit better, but again pretty much useless element, which doesn't change a lot. Here we have 3 main attributes and we can increase them in the way we want. Thats fine, this is good. I like it. The other "Talent" elements are weapon enhancements. Choose your favorite enhancement and max it. This is making you feel progress and developing character, without any useless trash talents as you run with 10% faster.
    -[spoiler] Horseman without horse. People complains that Rampage (horse) was falsely advertised and in game you don't have actually any horse. Riding in previous darksiders was so useless, that I don't understand why people want it back. Only need for mounting is if you have big empty spaces, in which you have nothing to do. So I like the fact, that there aren't big fields on which to have horse simulator as RDR2.    … Expand

    Whoever designed this game: you need to take game design classes.

    I don't think it's anything big or major that is wrong, but one billion small things aren't adjusted quite right. I think you're trying to make a soulslike game except you don't understand it.

    I don't think it's anything big or major that is wrong, but one billion small things aren't adjusted quite right. I think you're trying to make a soulslike game except you don't understand it.

    Small things like the rules for using an item is SUPER inconsistent. Sometimes it just completely ignores your request to do so and sometimes I can't even believe you can use items in such a situation.

    Small things like enemy lock-on lunge when they attack. They have some sort of homing thing when they attack, as if you couldn't design the attack themselves to work properly you had to home it in. Problem with that is that it's not position dodgable, it's only dodge-button dodge-able. That literally reduces the complexity of not getting hit to a single button press.

    Small things like switching hollows not being instant, so you can't chain them in cool ways. I was excited to chain things together then found that you can't because it just doesn't work.

    Small things like enemies that just keep kiting you, as if they're designed for Halo 5. You're not master chief, don't design enemies for Master Chief's weapons and abilities, design enemies for Fury's weapons and abilities because Fury is what you are playing in Darksiders III and not Master Chief.

    Small things like every attack is literally the same just keep pressing X. Poor reward for landing big charge attacks, do why bother? The whip is SUPER inconsistent. I think someone should make a pop quiz who-wants-to-be-a-millionaire game on every scenario where the contestant tries to guess whether the whip will hit YES / NO in a number of situations. It will be a super fun game because whether the whip will connect at any given situation is COMPLETE NONSENSE.

    Other small things like ledge grab being WAY too slow for a game like this, and worst of all, enemies can attack you while you ledge grab, and you ledge grab pull up SOOO LOWWWW that enemies can attack twice to 3 times while you're grabbing up, so that you actually try NOT to ledge grab by using fire charge upwards to workaround it.

    More small things like HORRIBLY inconsistent crowd combat. Dark Souls with always works a consistent way every weapon in crowd combat. This game forces you to just-frame dodge, but every just-frame counter only hits 1 enemy, leaving you open to the surrounding crowd. Why isn't there a HORIZONTAL whip just counter move????

    I could go on and on and on and on and on. I think game design is all the small things. I would recommend taking classes. Yes you, whoever designed the game. Go and learn.    … Expand

    I'll start by saying that I'm really surprised, first of all by the good taste in my mouth that this game has left me, and secondly because I can't conceive how it could have had such a bad score from the press, I really can't explain it.

    This is a title that does not start with the budget of God of War, to give an example of the same genre, but certainly before a game from beginning to end, developed with much less budget, and you will be hooked on command hours and hours especially if you're looking for a game with a good combat system, which is frantic, aggressive, varied, challenging and very polished.

    In this installment we handle Fury, the female of the four horsemen of the Apocalypse. A relentless rider with a lot of character, who will be hampered by the mission to hunt down the seven deadly sins: Envy, Greed, Anger, Lust, Laziness, Pride and Gluttony.

    The most remarkable thing about the game, without a doubt, is its combat system. This is a Hack and Slash that won't let you survive if you're used to crushing buttons like crazy with the aim of creating a whirlwind of death and destruction that ends with hordes of enemies. A lot of the enemies here are very tough, and you'll have to watch out for any and all bugs around you and their movements. Fury is agile, very agile, which allows him to move quickly and perform constant dodges, mechanics that you must learn to perform at the right time, because if you perform the dodge just before receiving an attack, you can make an arcane attack that will be much more forceful than normal attacks. The arsenal will increase, becoming more and more varied throughout the adventure. In addition to his whip, the main weapon, Fury will be getting different types of weapons that will allow your style of combat to be varied and adapt quickly, and in the middle of any battle, to the enemy we are not facing. Each weapon also has associated damage elemental, such as fire, electricity, ice ... etc, and along with its particular set of movements, will include different special skills (such as planning, walking on water, breaking down certain types of barriers ... etc) that we must use to advance along the map and its passages.

    And speaking of the map. Darksiders 3 presents a branched level design where everything is intertwined in a very organic and well designed way. With the city as a link, we will move through tunnels, volcanic caves, subterranean temples, catacombs, factories...etc.

    Aesthetically the game looks very colorful and resultant. It maintains an artistic design much closer to the first Darksiders than to the second, since in this delivery we are also on Earth. I would emphasize that although the style marked by the first installment was not, let's say, very original, this third installment notes that everything possible has been done to improve especially in the design of enemies, which although they are still demons / beasts / insects a little random and quite generic (some in fact I think they are the same as we saw before), they are somewhat fresher and more worked than those we saw in the War adventure. Special mention for some of the bosses.

    To be closing, say that the game has taken me about 16 hours to complete it, and I have played it in the third level of difficulty of four that there is. With this level of difficulty the difficulty curve I have noticed it perfect, being a quite challenging game, which requires you to learn to master well your different weapons and skills, but even dying more than in most games of the style, at no time you notice that it is an excessively high or forced difficulty. I'd say perfect.

    To sum up, if you like Hack and Slash adventure and action games (and touches of puzzles and platforms) that are barely made, such as Devil May Cry, Castlevania Lords of Shadows, Dante´s Inferno or God of War, as well as more tactical and challenging games like Bloodborne or Nioh, you're sure to enjoy this Darksiders 3.    … Expand

    There's a story mode, but it's still damn hard and it takes so friggin long. It's not that the enemies are too tough. It's the numbers of them that makes it really time consuming.

    The story is great of course, just like with the first 2 games. Uthane is there again (of course) but not as much as he was in the other 2 games, which is a shame, I liked his character.

    Compared to 1 and 2 the game-play of 3 is a bit different. there's a setting for darksiders 2 play-style instead of the originally released souls-like playstyle (which basically means dying a lot and taking ages to progress) but it's still a lot harder than the previous games.

    Also, even though Fury is a lot nicer to look at than Death, it's just not as fun to play as Darksiders 2. I got lost, running in circles a few times and it's really annoying not knowing where the hell else you need to go to get at the next place. And it's looong. I cheated because the story was already so very long. the world is HUGE and then there are all those enemies keeping you from moving forward........

    So, I do recommend it. But take heed, if you want to just run through the story, get some god mode patch. it's still a challenge if you do but you can actually follow the story.

    Basically just the ugly parts of darksiders one.. builsdings, subways, wood.. and one gorgeous underwater level.. but this is definitely the lowest effort game in the trilogy… no horse this time, just follow the skull on the map, do annoying frustrating not fun at all puzzles, and take down the 7 deadly sins which was the coolest part to me.. I was excited to see the twist of each one.. and sadly its just a run of the mill boss battle, .. the character design can be cool, but the battles are super lame.. as you progress the story youll unlock 4 different forms, a fire that can help you jump hier, electric that can help you levitate, some purple rock smashy power, and finally a power that lets oyu walk on water… and what does the game do with these powrs? They annoy you.. especially in the final few hours, forcing you to juggle them, hit this with this form, quickly switch to this form mid puzzle to freeze it in time to progress,.. mind you.. transforming is not intuitive, you gotta hold and press certain buttons all while making ssure youre zoomed in with the boomerand and selecting with l2 and throwing with r2 all while holding l1 down and going through the face buttons trying to remember who is who.. I hted it.. I hated every time a puzzle required 2 chracters simultaneously to solve… other than that I love the darksiders formular of collect osuls, spend them on upgrades, its as addictive here as it is in the previous games..

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

    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.

    I need to say that i never play DS 1 or DS 2 so i cant say anything to that but from my Brother: DS1 was very good and DS2 gone the wrong way.. but DS3 caught the a bit failed second Part and made a Perfect Franchise out of it again.
    Over all a very nice Game. I would even pay 100 Bugs for it (In Germany 100€)    … Expand

    I have not played the other parts of this series. I decided to play the third part because I read that it has elements of SoulsLike. I didn't finish it to the end. The gameplay didn't catch on. The story wasn't interesting either. Didn't like the controls. The game is not bad, but it didn't grab me.

    Прекрасная игра, хорошая смесь метройдвании и соулс механик. Интересные боссы, хорошая прокачка, левел дизайн на высоком уровне. Как отдельная игра 10/10 как продолжатель серии Дарксайдерс 7/10 так многие получат не ту игру которую ожидают после первых двух частей.Прекрасная игра, хорошая смесь метройдвании и соулс механик.

    Its not bad it even subvertet my expectations, I thought it would flop hard but no. In this game they thought about making the combat more souls like than hack n slash while still having the hack n slash elements, which suprisingly works, the combat is fun and smooth. Problem is with the boss fights, they are not good. They are easy, not challenging or too hard and unfair.

The level design is fine it tries to connect areas through shortcuts and such and still having the puzzles and such elements. But the story is weak at the end of the game I wanted for it to end finally, maybe it was longer than it should be.… Expand

    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.

    мой прошлый обзор был негативным НО sony отказались возвращать деньги и мне пришлось дать игре второй шанс и... в ней много недостатков но это не помешало мне ею насладиться.

    p.s. не ну блять лучше чем Warcraft 3 remastered давайте будем честны с друг другом.    мой прошлый обзор был негативным НО sony отказались возвращать деньги и мне пришлось дать игре второй шанс и... в ней много недостатков но это не помешало мне ею насладиться.

    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

    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. O    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. 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

    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.

    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.
