    Its a solid title, not nearly as bad as some suggest. ITs got a decent story and fun combat that clicks when you click with it. The camera can be a bit wonky, as well as some of the platforming.

    The only other critique I have is with the overall level design. It doesn't match with the level of awesome character models.

    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

    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.

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!!

    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!

    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

    Darksiders 3 is an interesting mishmash of gameplay design choices that never quite coalesces into something great, but is fundamentally dragged down by a terribly mediocre story that is defined by awfully conceived characters and woefully written dialogue. It's a shame then, because the combat is relatively engaging despite some clunky design flaws.

    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..
    I midly enjoyed my time here, tracking down the 7 deadly sins, but wow did darksiders go from AAA potential to single A real quick

    В минусы можно записать раскладку геймпада: dash на R1, захват цели на L2. Привыкнуть удаётся достаточно скоро, но по первости ужасно раздражает. И нет-нет, но и через 10 часов пытаешься ударить правым бампером, а увернуться кружком.

    В ряде аспектов Darksiders 3 хочет походить на Souls, но боёвка скоростная, выносливости нет, спамь удары сколько хочешь. Парирования нет, есть только уклонения.

    «Пространственных головоломок» намного меньше, чем в предыдущих частях, и это прекрасно. На мой вкус с загадками в Дарксайдерс 1 / 2 перебор, а драк не хватало.

    Секреты искать интересно, в частности в игре нет бесполезных косметических предметов, в потайных местах лежит всё полезное.

    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

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. For the genre of game it is, it performs about how you'd expect. Basic but satisfying enough combos, though for the brief time until you first acquire your heavy attacks via elemental Hollows, that's all you've got. Generally however, spamming one or two buttons gets the job done and no enemy or boss really requires a true mixup in the gameplay.

    The story is... fine. Fury changes in a very predictable and, in my opinion, somewhat unnatural manner. From 'who cares about these stupid humans' to 'I must protect them for they are so important to the universe' within the course of the 12-hour journey. This comes purely from meeting the foes of the game in the Seven Deadly Sins, who simply behave as Fury expected them to. Yet, it's her brief conversations with them that change Fury so drastically.

    Summary: It's a fun enough game. The Hollows are really cool, like different colours of Super Saiyan. The story is lacking however, and mostly serves to play into the eventual Darksiders 4.    … 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.

    Well, as much as I love the story, I have to admit that this entry into the series wasn't really my favorite. I am not really fond of playing as Fury, but that isn't the problem because I like the concept of playing as every horseman. The graphics feel like it's on ps3, not ps4 and the controls feel a bit sluggish. Still a must if you're a fan of the series

They have tried to cash in on the dark souls alike bandwagaon, the game can be very unforgiving, which tbh again for me is fine, i kind of enjoy that mastering a boss fight to finally get it done but add how unforgiving it is to all the technical problems and it becomes a very bad joke, one of the worst is the horrific load times on death, its like playing something back on the ps2, add on top of that very unforgiving checkpoints and when you just want to be learning a fight to master you end up spending so much time staring at load screens / experiencing super slow frame rates and then out of the blue your out of the map glitched and have to restart it, the game world though is nicely done and it retains that oh i can go back there now i have got that ability progression type and it works very well, old faces return, it carries on the story which is great, i love the style of the design of the game, that is apart from fury! with how awesome death and war looked, fury literally looks like a 5 yr old school kid has designed an anime char, i love the change with the hollows and while playing its fine but then the cutscenes kick in and you see her face, omg it looks so bad i honestly dont know what they were thinking, its such a shame if they had kept the darksiders game style i would of easily been giving this a 9, but the problems are serious and unforgivable, me and my friend were so excited about ds3, he got it release day and i was so shocked the next morning to wake up to a txt saying dont buy it at full price! and he is a fan boy. :(
    Awesome game world that plays the same style as ds 1 and 2
    carries on the story with old faces returning
    i love the idea of the new abilities/ hollows and the effect on fury
    Horrific technical difficulties, long load times/ massive frame drops (single figure in places) / lots and lots of bugs incl the classic out of bounds/ map, makes some of the fights almost unplayable/ unfair
    The devs ripped off dark souls style combat ( lazy and greedy and shows they dont care about us fans) + technical issues = very annoyed!
    very poor design of main char

Good thing I didn’t pay for this game though (got it on ps plus as one of my two free games one month) if I did, the score would be lower, since this is unacceptable in a console game.… Expand

    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 .

    The game is good, but unfortunately a huge step back from the previous entry. The boss design is very creative, but I'm not a fan of Fury. The game's gameplay really lacks tge diversity the previous two had, but it's sufficient. It's a good game, but a not too good Darksiders game. The soundtrack is also very forgettable. The aesthetics and map design are pretty good, though.

The original release had Dark Souls inspired combat based on perfectly timed counter attackes. You have to wait for an attack and then dodge during a small window to do high damage. Some enemies will block all other attacks, making counter attack essential to play the game. The problems are 1) the lack of notifaction of an attack, 2) not all attacks can be dodged, and 3) combat slows down to a crawl and is not fun. The update lets the player character, Fury, dodge attacks easier and generally strike faster. The counter attacks are still an important part of the game, but if you want to dodge and attack like in Darksiders 1 and 2, you are free to do so. Note to developers, stop Dark Soulsifying your games.

    While combat has always been interesting in Darksiders, the real gem was the look and feel of the series. You see it in Darksiders III on a smaller scale. There are graphical issues Fury's hair, for example, looks as stiff as anything you might see in a PlayStation 2 game. Fury is also not nearly as stylized as her brothers War and Death and her design is as generic as anything you would see in the 1990s. You can also forget about realistic lighting and shadows. At least in a Darksiders first, I only fell out of the map once, making this the least glitchy Darksiders ever.

    My issue with the design in Darksider 3 is mainly the small scale of the game. Most of the areas are re-used reused subways or ramshackle wooden platforms. The horseman's steed is gone because none of the areas are large enough to traverse on horseback. I feel like the developers only had the resources to make a large world like Darksiders 1 and 2 or a detailed world that would look better on current gen hardware. I don't blame them for choosing the latter, though I would have been dissapointed if I had spent $60 on the game. The enemies, especially the bosses, are as imaginative and resplendent as ever. The underwater areas are a major upgrade from Darksiders 2. You can sometimes see glimpses of something amazing, before you go back to the cookie-cutter tunnels. Not helping is the simplicity of the story, which is just hunting down and defeating the seven deadly sins.

    The upside is that the smaller game world means less of a grind. Upgrade material constantly drops and I never felt like I had to kill old enemies to level up in order to take on new enemies. The problem is that most of the upgrades require an NPC that has to be found on the map or accessed via loading screens. To solve the first problem, Vulgrim the vendor demon is found almost everywhere, after every third hallway or so. Still, having to bring gameplay to a dead halt every few fights is not fun. The loading screens to interact with the armorer are even less fun. You can also forget about witty banter with blacksmiths like in God of War. Upgrading weapons in Darksiders 3 is simple busy work. I would love for a developer to eschew the upgrade system and have a character go from start to finish with the default gear like Master Chief in the Halo games.

    Now for the unpopular opinion. I am glad the game is short. I picked up Darksiders III as a "free" PS Plus game, and the value proposition is therefore meaningless. What matters to me is the quality of the experience. The shorter game means a higher percentage of fights are premiere boss fights. It means spending less time grinding for experience, less time backtracking, and less time looking for that one path you passed early in the game that you can now unlock with your new weapon. More is not always better. For what it is, it is not that bad.    … 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

    What a game. Darksiders 3 is a better sequence to the franchise that Darksiders 2 was. There is no more that cliché used in Darksiders 2 about the need of 3 "something" to open every single door.

    First off, I normally wouldn't use a rating system in games since one person's 6 is different from another person's so ignore the rating.

    Now not having finish the game yet, the gameplay is solid. The camera doesn't go back enough so you will get hit by enemies from behind. The skeleton archers do too much damage to you, and it does add walking sequences. The worst "gameplay" mechanic    First off, I normally wouldn't use a rating system in games since one person's 6 is different from another person's so ignore the rating.

    Now not having finish the game yet, the gameplay is solid. The camera doesn't go back enough so you will get hit by enemies from behind. The skeleton archers do too much damage to you, and it does add walking sequences. The worst "gameplay" mechanic that slows down the pace for no reason. Save points don't refill your health or estus flask, I mean Nephilim Respite.

    But by biggest problems are technical issues. On the PS4 with the 1.10 patch, the game runs at an unstable 40 with frame rate drops happening 10% of the time. Thankfully it doesn't happen in combat, but this should be an issue in the first place. DMC5 and God of War run at 60 on the PS4 pro and are graphically more complicated. The game freezes when loading areas so that breaks the pacing. The smallest glitch in this is that the game would still load part of the world when you turn the camera at least 38% of the time. Thankfully it's loading areas far away and loads it in a second, but you can still see areas load which is annoying. It was just rereleased too early. I should have to wait for a patch for a game to be finished. The game should just be finished when it releases. I would have happily waited another year for this game to run at a stable 60, the game to play smoothly without it freezing from loading the area, and to actually load the area properly. But they rushed it

    I wouldn't recommend this game to everyone. Not even fans of the series. It doesn't play like the other two. Unless you play it for the story. There are good things with it. Level design is pretty good. Being interconnected and kinda interesting to explore. Combat can be fun, though not as good as the second one. Honestly, play it for yourself and see if you will lole it. Though I recommend the PC version. I haven't played it, but I have seen some gameplay. With it running at 60. Though take my word with a grain of salt. I'm not 100% sure if all of the technical issues are not on the PC port    … Expand

    Specs of greatness buried under a load of technical issues. Don't buy this. It was clearly not ready for release and even after the patches, is still drops frames constantly, even during boss battles it drops to single digits. The game also has a hard time keeping to 1080p resolution and it downscales to 720p. Both of these are game breaking as you need to actually see to dodge anything.Specs of greatness buried under a load of technical issues. Don't buy this.

And there are the checkpoints and the loading screens. Every time you die on a boss, you get a loading screen that lasts up to a minute. Then you need to run to boss, that's another minute. And while you're running, you get ANOTHER loading screen or two, because the game has trouble of rendering the world. I also had to redo a boss that I already beat, just because the game didn't save before closing it, even if I was in front of the bloody checkpoint.

    All in all, I'd like to see more Darksiders, but not like this. Boss fights were entertaining, but the technical issues are so many the overall experience is really disappointing.    … Expand

    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.

    This is a good, but not great game. I got this game as part of September PlayStation Plus subscription, and had very low expectations due to reviews, and the fact that it was a free subscription game. However, maybe some of the bugs and frame rate issues have been addressed, it plays decent on PS4 Pro. Let’s start with what sucks.

However, maybe some of the bugs and frame rate issues have been addressed, it plays decent on PS4 Pro. Let’s start with what sucks.

    Load screens. Although save points are convenient, the time to reload is similar to Bloodborne after it first came out, before it was patched, if anyone can remember that. There are a couple of boss fights that take a few tries to learn how to get passed. Sucks.

    Game freezes/pauses to load areas. If you run to quickly between areas, the game will freeze for several areas to load next area. Worst examples actually freeze and you can see I drawn areas pop in.

    Unrealized Game Mechanics. Without spoilers, your character learns different abilities. One ability I felt like I used almost the whole game and then later abilities seem like there to just progress to different areas. There are some combat mechanics with these abilities, but never felt as polished as it could.

    Main characters personality. She just isn’t like able..

    Graphics. Not good by this generations standards. However I still play Bioshock, BatMan, and Dark Souls so gameplay over graphics any day in my book.

    What I like. Exploring. It is really cool. Lots of verticality and areas that interconnect and secrets. My favorite feature of the game. Combat isn’t half bad. It’s not great though but ok. I liked the overall gameplay, but I totally get why many can’t stand it.    … Expand

    Much worst than previous 2 games. Combat is lacking any depth, bad performance on consoles (even on pro version), mediocre graphics, irritating camera work and simple puzzles. As a fan of 1st two games, I'm really disappointed. The only good thing about 3rd instalment of Darksiders franchise is its art design.

    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.

    Please start the game in "classic" combat and in "story" difficulty. On ps4, it's not worthy of "challenging" difficulty due to the framerate and camera issues. But the game is fun, just super disappointed in the performance.

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

    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

    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.
