Darksiders III Deluxe Edition

a story that fascinated me more than previous installments. The art design is remarkable, I love the mythological story, I love the unfolding of fury. 100% recommend it

Things that are top-notch: - music, - sound effects, - voice acting, - art style, - most of the story, - character designs, - upgrade system, - secrets, - the interconnected map design / exploration, - the 'Keepers of the Void' DLC Things that are allright: - combat since it feels like an unholy union between dark souls and devil may cry but there are still many fun combos, the close dodge retaliation is unique for each weapon and all the specials look good and feel good to use - quick menu for the consumables since its really handy but has a hidden cooldown where you cannot swap items a few seconds after using one of them Things that are underwhelming: - even though 90% of the game runs smooth there are certain areas where performance drops massively, especially in cutscenes (PFS drops to 30-40 on an rtx 4060 ti, cheesus), - merchant menu and upgrade menu behave strangely, sometimes they ignore mouse inputs and they don't have all the navigation options mapped properly - the ending is poorly written, suffers from millennial humor especially the final boss character as a whole, - new game + only has a singular new type of enemy that drops a singular new resource, no point in going for another round trip since the story and the boss fights remain the same - 'The Crucible' DLC is the biggest letdown on this list, just like it was in the first game. The lovely facts you can buy things there if you do well and get to see new...-ish bosses is completely overshadowed by the fact you have to sit there for about two to three hours (best case scenario) to see all of them and if you truly wanna complete the DLC and get the final reward you have to do all 100 enemy waves without resuming from checkpoints a.k.a. in one go. It would be perfect if it was two difficult enemy waves per boss (and i do mean difficult not incredibly long and mostly boring as it currently is). Also ignore that one guy saying you cant guard break enemies, use the damm hammer

Making comparisons with the two previous games is inevitable. The two Vigil Games Studio videogame's are an invaluable piece of art. The third part of this fantastic saga continues to give us pleasant surprises in the hands of another studio (Gunfire Games). Darksiders refusing to die. Highly recommended.

As with the previous games, Darksiders III - Definitive Edition includes, IMO, great game play, excellent graphics, an interesting story/plot and several choices to make the game as relaxed or as challenging as one would like. Also, as with the previous games, the puzzles can be annoying but not terribly difficult to solve in order to advance. The combat is fluid with an Xbox One controller. If you didn't like the first two Darksiders games, you probably won't like this one either. I got it on sale for $27.00 and it was worth the price to me. For me, this game was a joy to play. One way to help you decide if you might like it, look up the game play on YouTube. Reviews and game play videos are what help me decide if I think I would like playing. Cheers.

I really enjoyed this game, played both previous games and the differences are refreshing. Well made and a great combat system. Give the game a chance and you're unlikely to go wrong.
