Darksiders III

Not going to write a mile long review but I thoroughly enjoyed this game. If you felt 1 and 2 were a little too grindy with interesting, but kinda pointless traversal of expansive areas then this title is a breath of fresh air. The focus is combat and Fury is more memorable than death in my opinion. Bosses feel more like dark souls than a QTE event like every boss of 1 and 2 and it was a welcomed change. Only issues are technical issues and another prequel story but id like to see 2 more games from this series and supporting this title will help that.

After my 2nd playthough I can state that this game is so far the best one of the series, with engaging battle system and main character who actually evolves as the plot progresses. Hovewer, if you are not familiar with souls like combat systems I recommend playing on lower difficulties to get used to the game's mechanics.

The only downside of ds3 is bad optimisation, but it's just an annoyance, nothing game breaking whatsoever.

It kept me interested from start to finish. I was sad to see it end because honestly I never got tired of the game. It's fun. It never got stale to me as some games do towards the end when you're sort of just ready for them to be over. A lot of work was put into the game and it shows.

For so long waited game I really expected more. The plot is good but many things were not done so well. War was made to looks so old and Council - they never ask if Horsemen are about to take a job, they order. I had reserves about Fury but they did a good job with her. PC controlls were terrible, they made me give up from playing the game till the end. Confusing menu, compared to Darksiders 2 it was terrible.

But the worst thing of all was Death's voice. How could they replace it, it was the best thing of the entire series Michael Wincott being Death. Anyway I think this game deserved more attention to small details, since it was waited for so many years to be released.

As a stand alone game, it was good. But as a continuation of the previous titles it was a total let down.

I was very excited when this game came out, I expected them to build on Darksiders 2, despite the studio change, but they made it linear and boring.

• There is no armour (except a DLC)
• weapons are fixed
• There is limited scaleability, the enemies don't get that much harder as you progress, nor are they as imaginative as the ones in Part 2.
• The bosses don't have specials ways to be defeated.
• The puzzles are easy.
• There are not a lot of cut scenes and not much of a story.
• the scapes were not as expansive or had any difficulty to traverse or to find things in
• music was ok

Although I enjoyed the game as something to pass the time with, and the cliff hanger and twist were good, the over feel was underwhelming.

I'd advise to buy it in a sale, I felt like my money was stolen.
