Darksiders III Reviews
Darksiders III still has some entertainment hidden behind all of its cut corners, but it is buried under the obvious signs of a strained and troubled production.
Severe performance problems and a misguided implementation of Souls mechanics in Darksiders 3 tarnish an otherwise perfunctory, but at least occasionally enjoyable return to one of last generation's better action series.
Darksiders 3 manages to stick to its old-school roots but it comes at the expense of a game that fails to innovate and offer anything exciting. The difficulty curve can also feel relentless at times, and the game lacks some technical polish. If you can overlook these issues, it is a decent entry in the Darksiders saga.
Darksiders III is a decent game, but thats it. It doesn't anyhow try to surpass that boundary. The new combat system is refreshing and adds a new taste to its core which makes it completely new. The narrative is more complex than the previous instalments and alongside it's properly done characteristics, Darksiders III has the best storytelling yet. The 3rd title of our favorite apocalyptic franchise will make fans happy and entertain newcomers.

The world is fun and well worth exploring and I’m very much hoping we see that fourth entry in the future. I just hope that Gunfire Games can work on and greatly improve the technical performance in future titles as it holds Darksiders III back from being truly great.
Darksiders 3 is a good comeback for the series, but its conflicting combat styles and many technical issues prevent it from reaching its true potential.

The return of the horsemen delivers an entertaining if challenging action adventure. Some beautiful environments and fun enemy design help keep it engaging as you play but Darksiders' third outing is ultimately forgettable.
Darksiders III is definitely worthy of being a Darksiders game. not only it feels like previous games in the series, but also provides enough new features to make wandering in it's beautiful maps and killing enemies enjoyable. of course Darksiders III is not a flawless experience, but it sure is enjoyable and fun to play.

Despite some technical setbacks, the 3rd release in the Darksiders series is exactly what the fans enjoyed from the previous installments. Solid gameplay, great character design, lots of different content types and that unique feeling that the series is known for, all of which help Darksiders III to overcome its technical problems and to stand up as a strong Action RPG.

It's been a long time coming, but I'm really glad the Darksiders series is back. Gunfire Games have done an incredible job of bringing back the Horsemen with what I consider the best game in the series. All I'm hoping now is that this will reflect on an even more ambitious take for Strife, the final Horseman.
A game out of time; it's wonderful for fans of the series to actually get their hands on this title that almost ended up on the trash pile with the death of THQ, but Darksiders III is so riddled with issues that they just can't be ignored. It feels like a game that was developed many years ago and then put on a shelf, finally now to be released. It feels worse than both previous entries and, worse, it feels more dated than the originals. It's so sad to see this franchise that held so much promise fall so far, and worse it seems unlikely to recover, either. The game hints at a fourth iteration, again retreading the same time period, this time in the shoes of the fourth Horseman, Strife, but if it's of the same level of quality as this compared to previous titles, it may be better if it never arrives.
Darksiders III is a balanced mixture of first and second game of this popular series. It has a good amount of adventure mechanics and RPG elements that made Darksiders III an amazing game to play. Fast paced Hack and Slash combat, nice Puzzles, various upgrades and weapons and also replay value for finding all secret locations and hidden items, made Darksiders III so much fun and entertaining. The game is so much more challenging than before and some Souls series elements like "remaining your souls in your death location" and " so much more aggressive and powerful enemies and bosses", made Darksiders III a hardcore game even in normal difficulty. Beside all of these good aspects of Darksiders III, there are some weak points like lack of any guidance in the game world, many repetitive models and locations that are very the same as 2 previous games and it's like that we are in Darksiders or Darksiders II again and some unbalanced difficulty levels in some points that made the game so much hard even in normal difficulty. After hours of playing Darksiders III i must say that it is an amazing game and successful achievement for Gunfire games. Darksiders III is a valuable "Action-Adventure-RPG" with fun and challenging Hack and Slash combat and high replay value that absolutely worth your time and money. so don't wait and ride the Rampage alongside Fury!

Darksiders III has AA production values, amount of content and budget, yet its price is same as AAA games. If you're fan of series you should definitely play it, but I suggest you to wait for a sale.

Darksiders III is smaller than its predecessors in terms of scale, but still a well-crafted and fun action-adventure. A rare thing these days.

There is no doubt that Darksiders III is a flawed product, but series fans who are accepting of the changes will find it to be a good entry in the series. The camera is a source of constant frustration since it causes a number of issues where you get sucker-punched in combat while you're still relatively weak. With that said, the combat becomes enjoyable once you come to grips with the Dark Souls-style system and the more open level design takes the sting out of having to fight through closed spaces for most of the game. One has to wonder how different the possible fourth game could be.
The performance issues on the PS4 and the iffy platforming make the game fall short of reaching the same status as its past entries. All these things may be fixed with future updates but, at least for now, the title can only be recommended to hardcore fans and those looking for a challenge.
Darksiders III is a fine return for a series that fans were hoping against hope to see again.
If Darksiders III spent a bit longer in development then it would have been almost on par with the previous games in the series.
Fury's adventure doesn't come close to those of her brothers. The game is entertaining, but is feels linear. The fights are challenging but on the other hand the puzzles aren't. Still the game is a fun entry in the franchise, but not the best.

The Darksiders latest entry has finally meandered its way to Switch to join its brothers, and the results in this case are more mixed than its predecessors...
