Darksiders III Reviews
Darksiders III is a straightforward action game that isn't afraid to throw some serious old-school challenges at you.
Punchy combat and a pretty setting can't hide Darksiders 3's flaws.
Darksiders' schlocky action makes a welcome return, though it's not enough to shake the feeling you've played this before - and better.
It commits no cardinal sins but this belated return to the world of Darksiders comes across as shallow, frustrating, and disappointingly dull.
Darksiders 3 feels like coming home for fans, and combat is a blast - but it can be hard to appreciate the good when dealing with a laundry list of technical stumbles.
What Darksiders III lacks in production values, it makes up for with good design. The smaller, personal elements of the story are interesting, but the larger picture is confusing
Darksiders 3 is a nostalgic trip, reminding me of games I loved when I was younger. It never does anything spectacular, nor does it offer many new ideas. Instead, it exists as an earnest reminder of how games played eight years ago, and that’s enough for me.
Darksiders return is marred by bland environments and an unfocused design that can't help but frustrate and underwhelm.
For a game all about destroying the manifestations of sin, Darksiders 3 is guilty of a lot of them.
Most of my complaints are related to the RPG bits which are not the main focus of Darksiders III. It remains an action-fueled project and that's an angle it does well, reigning in some of the out-of-hand ideas from its predecessor. With all of the efforts to resurrect this once dead and buried series I hope there's a chance to wrap it all up with Strife: I want to see this story through until the end, blemishes and all.
Darksiders 3 goes back to its Hack and Slash roots with some really engaging combat, challenging enemies, and a world that offers some great variety in its levels, but the course of the adventure ends up being somewhat linear.

Once again, the Horsemen offer us a masterpiece. Darksiders III, even with all the fear and skepticism behind the game, has managed to become a superb hack ‘n' slash. The personal journey of Fury against the Seven Deadly Sins is simply amazing, and everything is set towards the future for Strife to come and end this awesome epic.

Darksiders III, while more limited in scope than its predecessor, provides a tighter, more deliberate experience that elaborates on the lore we've seen so far. The smaller world of Darksiders 3 may disappoint some fans of the previous game, but this feels like a reboot of the series. Poor PC performance, a lack of side-objectives and some unimaginative world-design point to a game with ambitions bigger than its budget, but Darksiders II is a fun and challenging experience that kept me engaged across the length of its story.
Darksiders 3 is recognizably a Darksiders game.
A good adventure that has every ingredient on the original Darksiders formula, an even manages to evolve it. In gameplay terms, we love Darksiders III, but its narrative is a complete mess.

Darksiders III is a stunning achievement, bringing the once-dead series back to life with aplomb.
Darksiders 3 is a much different game than its predecessors. The ideas here aren't bad, so much as they are poorly executed. There's still an interesting story and great presentation to experience, but you'll likely have to overlook the technical issues even if the core gameplay suits you.
When combat is between you and one other, Darksiders 3 can provide some decent, button-mashy fun, but the real fight is with the baffling world design and some cheap deaths.
Darksiders III, you’re my best mate. Darksiders III, I never want to see your face again. No, wait, come back…
