    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 recommend starting on "Balanced" difficulty and saving the harder settings for new game +, but that's just my opinion to make it fair and fun the first time through (I thought it was still hard enough on the balanced setting).… Expand

    Just like a cross between Jak & Daxter (without guns) and the classic version of God of War. Pretty fun game. They definitely need to patch it to run better on the PS5. 60fps would be so easy for a game like this!

    Then to combat in the game is really interesting and feels like other dark sides game with speed and difficulty, to the map and how is easy to understand and remember like an end of a world map.

    This game is good example to continue a great series like darksider and hope they release another game with strife.    … Expand

    Отличная игра, которая не заслужила столь отрицательной критики. Крутой арт дизайн, хорошая зрелищная боевка, головоломки уровня "ого себе, это вот так вот надо ? Ахринеть!" и интересные боссы с историей. Уровни исследовать доставляет удовольствие. Авторы игры ушли в жанр соулс с сюжеткой и разнообразной боевкой, будь у них бюджет по больше, игра была бы шедевром.Отличная игра, которая не заслужила столь отрицательной критики.

    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.

    Only a few areas in the game seem to have glitches where texture mapping takes a few seconds to load when walking into a new area but apart from that this game is down right gorgeous to look at for the most part and I also love the combat and levelling mechanic which is similar to Dark Souls.

    Очень красивая рисовка, сюжет мне понравился...но больше всего как все нарисованно! крутой получился мир
    Небольшие проблемы с оптимизацией.
    Увороты как то по тупому работают..я нормально так и не научился пользоваться.

    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.

    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

    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.

    Darksiders 3 is an amazing game overall. Great combat, neat story and Fury is a worthy addition to the horsemen. the Dark souls like difficulty for none dark souls player like me was tough in the beginning but if you stick to it it will get better and it is rewarding

    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

    I love the Darksiders series. D3 is, once again, different from its predecessors, but retains the core of combat and exploration. The main new mechanics are Hollows, elemental powers that you use in combat and puzzle solving. I found these to be extremely fun and well implemented.

    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.

    Even with all that, I really enjoyed my time with Fury.    … 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

The story develops in a way more dynamic and fast. They increased a Dark Souls feeling and this is why this game is different from the other 2 titles.

    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]
