The Darksiders series can't decide what kind of games it should have. The first was a wonderful Zelda like game with an interesting story and mature atmosphere. The second game was less like Zelda and more like a regular RPG, but it still maintained the puzzle oriented feel. This new game is nothing like the old games, and as a fan of the first two it is immensely disappointing. Darksiders 3 almost entirely combat focused, and its not very good at it. The series has never had great combat, but before it was always a side part, not the main show. While it is more complex it also isn't very fun. It feels like a game more focused on single target combat but is always throwing mobs of enemies at you. The enemy design is also very weak and often has poorly telegraphed attacks. The story was fine, none of the games have incredibly story telling but the world building is good and its entertaining. However after this game I sadly have no desire to see anymore. The series clearly has no direction and after this mess I don't think we'll be getting another one anyways. I'm giving it 2 stars because its just bad, not broken.
