    Terrible. Ridiculous writing, unlikable characters, terrible one-click fighting system. Everything looks clunky, cartoonish and arcade. They tried to make another Dark Souls, but we ended up with a Poundland Sonic knock-off. I got it for free and I still feel like I overpaid.

But there are some good things, it has good boss design, areas and enemies are actually creative. Overall, its clear that the reason for this is the low budget the game received. And unfortunately the game didnt sold well, now the hope for an ending for the franchis dont looks like its coming soon… Expand

    Do you have any game that you quit Iin the first cutscene because you don't like the cutscene?

    Furry isn't a warrior. Is a stupid celebrity.

    And the begining of the game? Oh my, the council admitting such disrespect That's not a comic show!!

    I recently played the first two games and they kind of reignited my love for gaming, which has been lost for a while. And then I started this.

    I recently played the first two games and they kind of reignited my love for gaming, which has been lost for a while. And then I started this. First thing I notice is a solid framerate of 15-25 fps at most. In no way do the graphics or gameworld justify this one bit. Don't get me wrong, it looks good and all, but there are games, that look better and don't have these issues. With the stuttering follows the frustration. Dodging is wonky as hell and you lose orientation pretty easy. The concept of finding the seven deadly sins is a cool idea, but not executed in the most engaging way. And when you reach the sins themselves YOU WILL RAGE because of the afformentioned issues. There are attackes, which you either have to be very lucky to dodge (positionwise) or are damn near impossible to predict and thus to dodge. Darksiders 3 has a few cool aspects to its gameplay and the dialogue is kind of funny, at least between Fury and the Watcher, but other characters are dismissable and forgetable. Next thing is the map. Why do we not get to see the worldmap or partial maps? This complicates traversing and backtracking in a way, that I don't want to do it. The first games had one and they are 8 and 6 years older. Another feature completely gone is quicksaving. The only times the game sets a checkpoint is when you find a Vulgrim location, manual saving is completely gone. This makes many parts of the game exremely frustrating, when you die and you have to do 15-20 mins of gameplay all over again. Another thing, which bugs me is consumeables being gone after dying. I buy shards from Vulgrim before I fight a boss, I use a shard, I die and the shard is gone and I can't buy another one, because all my souls are gone. I really want to like it, but the amount of missing features, framedrops and frustrating moments make it very hard for me to do so. Very sad and disappointing.    … Expand

    This game is literal garbage. They got rid of the mini map because they “wanted the player to get lost and not focus on side quests”, they made the dodging mechanic work only 25% of the time, the whip is a trash weapon and doesn’t hit enemies if they aren’t directly in front of you, every time I use the whip to swing from a bar or branch I’m always afraid that it isn’t going to grab aholdThis game is literal garbage.

    Why did they ever stray away from the Zelda/GOW formula of the first game.. DS3 should be running at 60 fps for a start, but its budget and feels it.

    Permanent FPS dropping in cartoon graphic experience, loading of locations during gameplay time (annoying).
    Visible large drop of resolution throughout fighting (shame). Game hasn't 60 FPS when handsome Infamous: Second son has for example. By the way game is bored imho.

    Ждал эпических приключений с всадниками, пере прошел с большим удовольствием 1 и 2 часть в преддверии 3-ей, в итоге получил не эпика, ни интереса и сплошное souls разочарование.

    Странная мысль, что игра должна быть сложной, чтобы понравится. Рад что DMC5 не пошли по этому пути, как Darksiders 3.

    La jugabilidad es penosa, los controles fallan cada dos por tres, el sistema de combate le falta mucho por pulir. Cargas momentáneas que cortan el ritmo del juego constantemente ya que lo frizan por 2 segundos. La verdad es el peor darksiders de todos por mucho

    I really wanted to like this game, but couldn't find the motivation to finish it. Unacceptable performance drops, input lag, frustrating enemies with sloppy dodge mechanics made this an unnecessary respawn fest where unregistered inputs made deaths feel unfair. God of war destroys this game in every aspect.

    I liked D1 and D2 but D3 is just MEH, I got bored fast and didn't finish the game which is unusual for me because I'm a total trophy whore and normally play until I have the platinum but I stopped playing and deleted it from my console out of boredom so I'm giving it 0/10 because I found nothing fun, interesting or new in this game.

    Overall it's a bad game. The game crashes a lot, the gameplay is heavy due to the lags. My game has hung up alone 3 times. The graphics are simple, and the soundtrack is bad and unorganized. The only interesting thing about the game is the characters. I really liked the Fury.

    As much as I love Darksiders and want to support it, I must say that this game is a colossal disaster.. I wasn't expecting something mind blowing since I knew it was on a smaller budget, but some things like cut content, false marketing and huge technical issues are inexcusable.

    I’d much rather have a meaty and engaging adventure that’s happy to embrace its videogame origins over a lavishly budgeted and beautiful ‘experience’ littered with dull introspective and endless navel gazing. Darksiders III gleefully provides the former while completely shunning the latter, and I’m all for it.

    If the idea was to get you into Fury's angry mindset, then job done - though in truth you more often feel like one of her lesser-known cousins, Boredom or Irritation. [Issue#328, p.112]
