Overall, Darksiders 3 is a good game, and at times it’s very good. It’s just regrettable that it’s not better given the quality of the first two games and the long wait since DS2. Some of the issues can be patched, and may very well be in time; but at least for now, Darksiders 3 falls short of expectations.

Darksiders III is a breath of fresh air in the Darksiders franchise. The game bet on a more defiant combat and a interconnected world, similar to dark souls series, and the result is very well.

Darksiders III is a great hack-and-slash action title that feels a bit dated but still manages to offer a well-crafted experience. It’s not the best title in the series, but it gets serious points for its polish and its focus.

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

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 small budget and rather unimposing preview materials, Darksiders III turns out a great game. Gunfire Games deserve a standing ovation and a truckload of money. D3 is a game born from true passion and genuine love for the series.

The team from Gunfire Games really outdid themselves reviving the Darksiders franchise with this third addition to the series. Darksiders III on its own will please some fans, but even then I myself would wait until a possible price drop with the few flaws the game seems to fall short on.

Darksiders III is a desperate attempt to keep something alive on the verge of death. Although the plot is quite interesting and Fury one of the most characterized knights, the gameplay is far from enthant and innovative, indeed it is a step backwards. The new direction taken by Gunfire Games for the game mode is unconvincing, giving space to structures that do not go well with the philosophy of Darksiders. Moreover, the new ideas have not been even remotely realized with hindsight, creating several problems both in the design of the levels and in the general balance of the enemies and contents, except for the beautiful boss fights.

It commits no cardinal sins but this belated return to the world of Darksiders comes across as shallow, frustrating, and disappointingly dull.

Darksiders 3 is more difficult than previous games. Terrible checkpoint system and long loading times makes game troublesome. But soundtracks, combat system and bosses are great. You should give it a try.

For a game all about destroying the manifestations of sin, Darksiders 3 is guilty of a lot of them.

At the end of the day, Darksiders 3 is four years too late and four years behind current game design.

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

Beneath the mountain of bugs, shoddy design and inconsistent performance, there's a  genuinely good adventure waiting to be experienced in Darksiders III. Unfortunately, its numerous problems are more than just annoying in nature. They're quite simply…apocalyptic.

There are a few qualms here and there, like its technical issues, and at the end of the day I wish it offered more enemy variety, but even when considering those problems, the game is a blast.
