    I realize this review can basically be boiled down to “I liked Darksiders III, and here’s several paragraphs on why it wasn’t that good” — and even I see the contradiction. But honestly, the game is so shallow that that’s really what you need to know about it. Darksiders III is fun in small bursts, but also very shallow, and the more of it you play, the shallower it feels.

    Outside of the obvious omission of a map, the simple act of playing Darksiders III is fun, challenging, and rewarding. The Switch port, save for the expected visual downgrades, is on par with the originally targeted systems. The only problem is it never ran particularly well on those systems either. If anything the Switch version actually improves on some elements of the original performance, but it can still be a bit of a rough ride. This was always a game that required more powerful hardware to push through its shortcomings and the Switch obviously can’t totally deliver on that. At the same time, with slightly faster loading and solid handheld performance, I’d probably still take this over going back to the original Xbox One version.

    Idk why everyone hates Darksiders III, but for me it's a very good game. Switch version is also pretty solid, graphics are ok and fps is stable

    Thus, the developers from Gunfire Games managed to develop a worthy continuation of the series with "Darksiders 3". Thanks to the brute fightsThus, the developers from Gunfire Games managed to develop a worthy continuation of the series with "Darksiders 3". Thanks to the brute fights with the normal and larger enemies and also the atmospheric staging will convince many fans and newcomers. The storyline is decent and gets you pleasantly through the title. Although some elements in the game take some getting used to, you'll get used to it after a while and get along well with it. In addition, many expansions are included in the new version for the Nintendo console. If you can handle a few minor flaws in the game's balance, Darksiders 3 is a really entertaining game on the Nintendo Switch.… Full Review »
