    What is wrong with you guys? DSIII is a great game and I enjoy it a lot as a fan of the series. It had issues, allright. Issues were patched a few days later, so what? This game does not deserve your bad ratings. Stop being toxic. Same goes for the press reviews. Shame on you!

    Really enjoyed this game. Loved the graphics and combat. Solid story. There were some frame drops and other bugs though. Could have used a bit more time in the oven.

    В прошлые игры серии не играл, но после Darksiders 3 думаю купить. Игра чем-то напоминает God of War(кроме последней GOD)У игры интересный лор, красивые виды и интересные дизайны персонажей. Озвучка в русской версии тоде радует. -1 бал за камеру, которая местами раздражает. -1 балл за боёвку, которая могла быть разнообразней.

    Очень ждал я эту игру, даа.... 6 лет ждал!
    И вот вышла. Ура!
    Но начну с другого. Году так в 2017ом на е3 сказали, что структура боёвки будет как в Dark Souls, что меня, так сказать, напрягло. Боёвка в Souls играх крайне не удобная для слешера, на мой взгляд, но это специфика (даже фишка) данной серии и её клонов. Думаю, что бы сделать прохождение более трудным.

    Так же не порадовало, что разработкой, естественно, занималась другая студия.
    Ещё сказали, что коня не будет!
    Заканчивался 2018 год игра вышла. И что же? После прохождения оказалась достаточно хорошей игрой. И боевка оказалась к месту и студия не подвела, а конь оказался нафик не нужен!
    Боссы. Боссы вернулись на свои места, т.е. в конец каждого, скажем так, "уровня", хотя уровней, как таковых, в игре нет. И это здорово. Остались и скрытые, как во второй части. И всё-таки боссы из первой части были лучше, чем в 3й, и даже, на мой взгляд, лучше чем во 2й. К ним нужен был спец подход, использовалось окружение, а в 3й, да и во 2й тупо забиваются ударами, ну почти.
    Сюжет порадовал, хорошо вплетается в канву серии.
    Единственное, что не порадовало так это прокачка. Какая-то куцая.
    Ещё на PS4, как не странно, была пара багов, из-за которых пришлось перезагружать игру. Может патчами поправили уже?
    Резюмирую: Игра хорошо дополняет серию и для прохождения обязательна всем поклонникам Darksiders. Единственно, как мне показалось, видна некая бюджетность данной части, но ничего ждём следующую номерную часть, надеюсь, разработчики в ней развернутся!    … Expand

    Over the course of the game you'll gather new weapons and abilities to open up new combat options and areas of the world to explore. With tons of secrets hidden away, there's always plenty to do as you snowball in power. The platforming starts off being quite basic but as you play you can unlock ways to glide, double jump or even freeze parts of the world. These also open up some interesting environmental puzzles to give some variety from the combat. There's also a New Game Plus mode, giving access to new tiers of upgrades and changes to enemy spawns - there's a lot of replayability here so there's lots to keep you busy.

    The developers have addressed many issues raised by other reviewers here. A patch has been released to enable 'classic' combat to it more like previous games in the series instead of the Dark Souls style and while the dodge system can take some time to get familiar with, there are augments in game that make the window much easier to hit.

    I noticed a few performance issues but nothing that spoiled my experience (it was largely some frame rate drops in dense areas). Because I played it a little later, it's likely they've released performance patches since the first reviews were written.

    Overall, Darksiders 3 may have had a rough launch but is a solid entry in the series that's worth checking out if you like adventure games with a focus on engaging combat.    … Expand

    Thoroughly enjoyed this game. Good combat, nice graphics, well executed.
    Overal the difficulty was pretty ok, aside from one bossbattle midgame which was really a spike in the difficulty
    Only complaint I had: it overstayed it's welcome, a tad shorter with more focus would have upped the quality, but overall enjoyed it. One playthrough is enough for me though

    I appreciated the difficulty settings - dark souls style unforgiving combat is insanely tedious. Easy mode was perfect for me (and you can still die pretty easily, though tear through enemies in return).

    The growth of Fury's character as she hunts down the seven sins is a lot of fun to watch. The writing quality is not super consistent, but it gets the job done. And there's some legitimately laugh-out-loud moments.

    It has very noticeable performance issues on PS4 - frame drops, stuttering, and an occasional crash. This port needed more work.

    I played it late, after all patches, and I must say that I had a blast with it. At first I was a bit disappointed, expecting it to be more like Darksiders 2 but, halfway through, I forgot about all my grievances. I give it a 10 even though I consider it to be an 8,5.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Another great entry in the Darksiders series and another severely underated one. I had a great time playing this game. I found that the combat was feeling great and that they built the world in a really intelligent way (each area is interconnected with the others ) and the more we progress, the more our new abilities allow us to use shortcuts. I never played souls game before but I read that the game design is similar. I can confirm that it looks like Metroid Prime also in term of level design.

    I don't understand why some people are giving this game low scores like that. I mean the developers did a great job with the limited budget they had and this game is better than a lot of so-called AAA games.

    For the negatives, I can say that the game is likely to crash sometimes but nothing that prevented me to complete the game. The graphics quality is a bit less than the average and there are important difficulty spikes in this game which makes it less accessible than Darksiders II. I beat this game on Normal difficulty and I'm quite experienced in videogames. I would understand someone chosing to beat this game on story mode as even normal is difficult .

    Overall, a great game for me, it's an easy 8/10 !    … Expand

    El juego es una mezcla de generos, hack and Slash más unos tintes tipo soul. En sus cosas buenas puedo decir que los escenarios me parecieron interesantes y los combates muy desafiantes. La historia es un poco torpe, algo medio cliché o genérico, pero en general el juego es jugable y divertido.

It’s missing that polish that previous games had. It’s nothing game breaking and I usually do not notice the problems, but I am guessing others might. The plot is as usually convoluted and with almost no info is provided how it fits the timeline of the series. But I still like the apocalypse theme, I love the cartoonish touch, I like the combat and the Dead Souls-lite formula. It’s a little tacked on, but at least they are trying to highlight that each Horseman is different. I am simply having fun playing this. The maps are a bit bland but their design is very, very good. It’s a Castelvania style game done good. I really recommend this game to series fans. It’s a must play. For new to the series - probably you should start with Darksiders 1 to appreciate it.

    Darksiders 3 is a pretty good game. The gameplay is a bit average at the start of the game, but it becomes better later on. It will become better, but not great. I think they wanted to combine the gameplay of the first two games with a bit of bloodborne feeling. You have to move quite a lot. I don't rate it as a full hack&slash game like the first two.

I don't rate it as a full hack&slash game like the first two.
    The story is ok. I would rate it a little better than the second game, but lower than the first game which sets the tone of the whole story. It has some great twists. I really enjoyed them as i didn't expect some of them to happen.
    The characters are pretty solid. The best thing they nailed in this game is Fury and her great personality. Strong, sarcastic and in need of anger management therapy. As the story progresses it's easy to see that her personality evolves pretty well after each enemy encounter. She is still Fury, but finds a purpose for her life and she's not the same hot headed maniac. Ok, she'll still be the same hot headed maniac, but wiser with better decisions. The other characters are solid as well.
    The dialogues are funny, the sounds are good as well. There are times when fury does some bad ass things and the music plays a certain tone. It reminded me a bit of God of War 3's epic moments.
    The sounds and music are in tone with every area or level and connect very well.
    As much as i liked these parts of the game, i saw the level design as beign quite mediocre. When you're hunting the seven deadly sins, you would expect them to live in fancier houses and not just that. You don't have a minimap or something like that. I can't say i got lost or something, but some areas were pretty chaotic.
    I got myself in some fights while i was in tight spaces and i hated it because the only dodge that i could've made was going backwards. If i tried to dodge left or right i could've been easily hit. Some enemies through at you a 180 degrees attack.
    Vulgrim returns again with his soul shop. The shop reminds me of the shop from devil may cry. Ex.: if you buy a "health potion", the next one you buy, will be more expensive.
    The game also has other bugs. Sometimes the textures didn't load as intended and some characters needed a couple of seconds to load from ps2 to ps4 pro. I also encountered a crash.
    As a conclusion, the game has its flaws, but it's worth playing. I recommend it.    … Expand

    As we all know Darksiders is a fan favorite due to it's art style, lore, story, hack 'n' slash combat, and lovable, or shall I say, unlovable characters. Also because it's a game that removes you from real life, and into fantasy. And isn't that why most of us play video games? For the escape? The franchise has aways taken inspiration from other games, and this time around we can clearly see Metroid and Dark Souls, yes, even I hate hearing that in reviews, but in this case, it's true.
    In this 3rd game, they've taken bits and pieces from the first two things, removed a lot, and added a lot. Which isn't a bad thing, as this is how games change and evolve. Whether you miss the chests, the horse riding, or even the hundreds of weapons/armour loot, there are still some finishers and plenty of things to add to your inventory, upgrades, and ass-kicking to be had. The creativity with Fury & her attitude, as well as each of the Seven Deadly Sins, makes for quite the game just vocally during gameplay and cutscenes. The mixture of it all flows nicely.
    Now, is this my favorite game of the series thus far? I don't know yet, as I plan to do another complete run through to help decide. But, what I will say is, at the end of the day, it's still indeed a Darksiders game. It feels, plays, and looks like a Darksiders game. And that to me, as a huge fan since the beginning, is extremely important!
    Don't let some of the bad reviews hinder your experience. A lot of the performance issues have been resolved or are in process. And most of the reviewers haven't even completed the entire game and are basing their opinion off an hour or two. If you love the franchise and this game interests you, go get it, and let your own experience decide your own opinion, not someone else's. I'm sure you wont regret buying it.    … Expand

    At the beginning of the game I did not like the DS system, but then it became easier to play even on the Apocalypse. The developers managed to make a good game, they combined parts 1 and 2 and it turned out a perfect balance. In this game, it is not necessary to kill all enemies as in 1 and 2. There are no very large corridors that you need to walk for hours and look for keys for 10 doorsAt the beginning of the game I did not like the DS system, but then it became easier to play even on the Apocalypse.

There are no very large corridors that you need to walk for hours and look for keys for 10 doors to go to the boss. But in the game there are places where Vulgrim is very far from the boss and it is very distressing. The plot of the game as always is great. BUT it is very difficult to understand whether the actions of the game go before the first part or after the first part, although at the end they say that everything happens after the first part, but there are discrepancies at the beginning.
    The character has learned to run and this is very cool, in other parts of this is not enough. This game is definitely very good.    … Expand

    El juego es muy bueno. Ahora tiene un sistema de combate tipo souls y si es algo desafiante. Lo único malo que le veo es que a veces si caen los frames y no cargan las texturas.

    I only had one platinum trophy until today and that was in bloodbourne. This game does have technical flaws but hopefully will be patched up. Aside from that this game is amazing. Everyone who likes hack n slash games with a challenge and an interesting story should play this game it is well worth your time.

    O game está ótimo e extremamente divertido como eu esperava. A jogabilidade está sensacional, e a esquiva está incrível. O jogo está bonito, e entregou exatamente o que prometeu. Um ótimo haking and slash que essa geração precisava. Tem apenas alguns problemas de performance, mas a diversão compensou isso.

    Jogo ótimo. Os maiores problemas são com relação a otimização, da uns lags malucos às vezes, e com relação ao preço. É um bom jogo, mas ordinário.
    Com relação a gameplay, se você gostou dos anteriores, é certo que você vai gostar deste. Inclusive, recomendo que jogue os anteriores antes. Este não é um jogo para introduzir você na série, mas para aqueles já jogaram os antecessores.    Jogo ótimo.

    My opinion differs from a few on what this game is. I have spent time with the game and have made it past killing 2 of the 7 sins.

The fighting mechanics are fun to me as a whole. I was stuck on fighting wrath for a little bit because I was not paying attention to his attack patterns. Once I slowed myself down and paid attention to his attack patterns I was able to beat him easy. Another thing with this game is that my opinion is that I am enjoying the game as a whole. Now be aware that as the game stands currently you can tell that they rushed it out of development in the late stages because it is blatantly obvious that they did not scrub through for glitches. The frame rate and stuttering issues are annoying. Also if you are a person on the fence about buying the game stop looking at the reviews people are putting up on various websites and go watch a few lets plays of the first portions of the game so that you can see if it is a game you want to play.

    I love the Darksiders series, the first one was a masterpiece and the second, with it's downfalls was still close enough to count as one as well. The third feels a bit off to be honest. The world is back to closed zones much like the first one, with many paths and off shoots closed off with powers you get later, giving it that metroidvania style feel I love so much.

The world is back to closed zones much like the first one, with many paths and off shoots closed off with powers you get later, giving it that metroidvania style feel I love so much. Many of the riddles were fun to solve and some even had me for a few minutes and had those fun "oooh" moments. The only reason it's got an 8 is because I do not like dark souls, never been able to play any of those games as I find it frustrating. But I didn't here so it's not that bad, you loss souls on dying but the game has a difficulty bar and you can play on lower difficulties if you don't feel like farming souls and being on edge the whole time. No stamina bar is also a great deviation from the souls formula I very much welcomed. Although I hate the lack of a map and I do not understand why this one unlike the others chose to not include one in game.
    The world still feel great and the characters are imaginative and fun as always (I love the always angry Fury, She is hilarious at times).
    Game is an 8 but got a 10 to balance unfair 0's (no game is a 0!)

    TL;DR - A great addition to the series and a must for any fan. The dark souls addition is annoying but not as much to ruin the experience.    … Expand

    As i see Fury was a deep character, she got her own personalities, not emotionless robot.

    Bueno, bonito y barato.

    Sigue con el mismo ADN de película de acción de los 90s, ahora con mecánicas nuevas tomadas de géneros mas recientes (siempre fue así esta saga) y manteniendo esa estética apocalíptica demoníaca.

    Ofrece lo que prometió desde un inicio, acción desenfadada y momentos épicos.

I felt Furry was a cool character and she has a good story to prove herself among the other horsemen, but I still like war and death more as the main character. I really enjoyed the darksouls play style which really added a much needed difficulty level to the series. The metroid level design was a great addition as well, no maps just a compass to direct you to the next sin. On the way to defeating each sin there are many secrets and collectibles to find that make you want to search every corner of the map. The environments look amazing definitely best in the series. The gameplay is tight and well responsive the dodge window is well done and once you get the timing down on enemies you will be smashing your way through them. The boss battles are all amazing and remember-able, each sin has their own unique move set and personality based on their names. Fury will unlock 4 different weapons besides her main whip throughout her journey and each one has their own unique moves set. The only reason I didnt give Darksiders 3 a 10 was because the loading times while playing would pause you mid whatever your doing and load. Also the frame rates would drop low while in a heavily populated area. I bought Darksiders 3 on sale for $20 and to me was worth every penny, I would of gladly paid more.… Expand

Presenta sulla versione pc qualche calo di frame ma sono problemi che si riscontrano quasi sempre con i titoli appena usciti e che verranno sicuramente risolti con il tempo.

    I had a blast playing Darksiders III and I felt the combat was a major improvement over the first two games (love getting that perfect dodge), though I understand how fans of the first two hack and slashers may have been put off by this shift in combat style (I was at first). This is also a VERY hard game and does not feel very balanced until after leveling up to around level 40.

    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]
