Darksiders III is a very good game marred by some severe issues. Still, I loved it. I only hope Gunfire Games addresses its issues.

Darksiders III is a "hello from the past" with an interesting story, controversial design decisions, challenging and not always obvious puzzles, and a clearly limited budget. Blurry graphics and optimization problems spoil the impression, but if you'll stay with the game for a first few hours of gameplay, then Darksiders 3 will offer you a cool character, epic battles with beautiful bosses, good puzzles and a deep world exploration. In this case, the game will still be able to keep your attention until the very end.

Darksiders III is a game that fans like myself will enjoy. While not as polished as the first two entries it continues the story of the Horsemen respectfully.

Darksiders III is as silly and awesome as classic heavy metal.

It's easy to sit glued in front of this game, exploring the huge gaming world to the far end of the hours.

‘Darksiders III' is greater than the sum of its influences.

Darksiders 3 is a stable title but far from sublime, full of good intentions but partly ravaged by a vision not completely in focus.

Darksiders 3 doesn't reinvent the wheel, but still delivers an exciting adventure with the over-the-top tone that fans of the series will enjoy.

Darksiders III delivers satisfying action in a delightful apocalyptic setting, but the game's linearity, wonky camera, and relentless enemies weaken the demon-slaying experience.

Darksiders III is the follow-up that fans have been waiting for, no doubt, but this is both its greatest strength and weakness. On one hand, it feels just like the previous two games albeit with a much better combat system and some fantastic encounters. On the other, much like Darksiders II, it's trying too many things at once and comes off as having an identity crisis. Without a doubt, though, Darksiders III is easily better than Darksiders II, and that's worth celebrating.

Darksiders III falls short of the games it's imitating, but it is still an engaging experience in its own right.

Darksiders 3 makes up its lack of depth in satisfying combat and memorable boss fights, making for a solid third entry in the series.

Darksiders III does feel like a game that wished it was released many years ago, with a slew of older-style design elements that sit alongside more modern attitudes towards combat and story

Despite an intriguing story and excellent character development, dull visuals and technical gremlins make Fury's journey a solid, if unspectacular entry into the Darksiders series.

If you can look past its woes, there’s a lot to love here — but be prepared for this to be an incredibly frustrating delight.

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.

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.

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 3 is a good comeback for the series, but its conflicting combat styles and many technical issues prevent it from reaching its true potential.
