Great Game but Unfinished Port

After being dissapointed in how slow Darksiders 1 felt, and some other things, I ended up watching a single episode of playthroughs of Darksiders 2 and 3. Something about the fighting in D2 didn't feel satisfying compared to D3: it had amazing sound and great animations. That, and after being hooked to the story after watching D1, I just decided to get D3. It has been an amazing experience but I do have problems with the game: - The game is capped to 62FPS. - There is this horrible culling effect that lets you see the skybox behind a lot objects just from moving the mouse at a reasonable speed. - Some maps just drop your frames real hard (at this time, I stopped playing with a frame counter) - Collision detection can be janky (e.g. you can't always grab a ledge) - You can find yourself stuck even if nothing is blocking your way. - The UI is just not navigable with a keyboard/mouse. This is a big one: You are expected to use Enter and Backspace to go in and out of menus and the up/down arrow keys to select things in a list. You can't use W or S (though, up/down does move the character so maybe map W/S to up/down using AHK?). There is no way to navigate left/right, when dealing with tabs or moving across the upgrade tree for an amulet(?). Sometimes Space can function like Enter but only 40% of the time. Sometimes Escape can go back, other times it exits the menu entirely. Sometimes you have to hold Enter to apply upgrades, sometimes it is Y (even when the Enter key is doing nothing). Hovering the mouse over any button does nothing, forcing you to use the up/down arrow keys, or click it (which isn't a problem when the game expects you to hold L-Click/Enter to do something). If a prompt comes on screen telling you about an amulet(?) that you just earned, your mouse disappears until you completely exit from what menu you are in and come back in. Again, the 3D action is mostly good but it really isn't a finished product. (It's also abandoned.)

Fun combat & exploration focused entry

I was really looking forward to DS3, and was very concerned when I read the negative reviews from both the press and players. I was so hoping to play another great DS game that I took a gamble and purchased the game anyway. I was a little frustrated at first, mostly due to the difficulty and the focus on dodging. I got a little better at it as I played, which helped a little. Once I started to focus on exploring the world and upgrading my damage the game became a lot more enjoyable. I feel like once I had a little more power, it started to feel like a real DS game. The major different between the 3rd installment and the others is the focus on combat. This installment definitely does have exploration, but there aren't really any puzzels or the zelda style dungeons of the first game. There are regions that have their own visual style and enemies, but for the most part the gameplay in each is the same. I still think the first is my favourite by far, and although I enjoyed the second, this third installment really does feel more like the first than the second. If you're like me, and really want to revisit the DS world and gameplay, I can confidently recommend DS3.

Really enjoyed it!

As other people have said it borrow heavily from dark souls but if you are fan of that it (imo) has nailed a good combination of souls-like in a darksiders setting. Of course if you are not into that there is the "classic" mode they added. But yeah nothing really bad to say about it. I enjoyed the story and the whole game.

Broke my heart

As a fan of the series, this entry has left me sorely disappointed. Let's break it down: Visually the game sticks to the established style, meaning that it looks good, but not great. Some lousy visual effects (like the use of screendoor transparency) and familiar Unreal Engine problems like texture pop-ins and occasionally shoddy performance are a huge letdown. Environments lack variety and creativity. Exploration is gone, what we get instead are linear dungeons which loop back after completion and are filled with enemy encounters and the occassional token puzzle. In terms of core gameplay we get a stripped-down version of earlier games. Souls not only act as currency, but also serve to level up your character. Weapon enhancements can be upgraded in different ways, encouraging different playstyles. Platforming has been removed almost entirely, but very late into the game there are hints of potential where the player has to combine the acquired abilities. Combat plays the main role now and feels good at first. Fury's whip and side weapons feel crunchy and there is an emphasize in dodging and countering. In fact it works very well in 1on1 encounters, but fights with more than 2 enemies or ranged enemies become a mess. The ridiculously high damage output of the enemies gives little room for mistakes, making enemy crowds particularly dangerous. Oftentimes you get hit off-screen due to the dodgy camera, leading to your untimely demise. Invincibility frames are nearly non-existant resulting in unfair hits during dodge or counter attack animations. Small tweaks to the combat system would a have gone a long way here. Don't play this game for the story. Not only is the narrative paper-thin and predictable, the writers take the Darksiders mythos into an infuriantingly boring direction. Verdict: Deeply flawed, frustrating and at times lazily slapped together. It's obvious that Darksiders 3 was developed on a shoestring budget. Rare pockets of fun keep this from being a 1/5.

Good game, hoping for the next

I've played all Darksiders games and this one is up to the task. None matches the first one, I've missed a bit of the brutality of the first one, the deadly finishes, but it's a good game. The game it's more difficult than the previous ones, at least at the beggining, you have to farm to get souls and level up, I have to say I cheated to avoid this. One think I dislike it's the lack of map, though I have to say they did a nice job marking where you have to go, I rather also have a map.
