    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. Many of the riddlesI 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. 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

    Great story, great combat. The game can be very demanding, but fun as well. There's a lot of tiny mechanics that add up to a a complex experience.

    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!

    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.

    Блять, чуваки, ставящие еденицы: пройдите первого босса и дальше игра раскроется с лучших своих сторон. Не без недостатков, но достойное продолжение серии, THQ Nordic гигантский респект (за все).

    Impressed that THQ were able to pull this off with such a small dev team. If you enjoy games with challenges and rewards this game is great! 10/10

    Everything I expected from a darksiders sequel. No performance issues like some others are complaining about. If you liked the Darksiders games, you will probably like this too.

    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.

    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.

    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.

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.
    Consiglio da grande fan della saga di acquistare anche i giochi precedenti per capire al meglio la trama e per divertirvi ancora di piu.

    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 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

    This game is amazingly good as I remember the other 2 entries. Even more so after the first patch release. I love the story and plain and simple, the joy it brings me while playing.

    I am not just a fan I really loved it.

    Very much enjoying this game right now. The map exploration is excellent and I like the combat. Recommend people play on normal as the the difficulty is higher than typical games of this type.

    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. 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 don't understand where all this bad marks come from, it was a great game, I loved the level design, a semi-openworld with no **** to reach your objective, a perfect transition for the Darksiders games. I played on pc there were some shuttering and some drop, but i thought it was my machine.
    No bug found on my playthrough. The only "sin" of this game is the lack of new game plus.

    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]
