Darksiders III (PS4)

i am a fan of darksiders 1 and 2 thought they were excellent,this...for me, is a fantastic 3rd,i used the classic combat and easiest of the difficulty levels, the patch was automatically installed so i played with the patch so keep that in mind. I have a ps4 pro and a 46 inch samsung hd tv…graphics are superb on it,the gameplay as informed by other reviews (which was really appreciated) prepared me to use evasive manoeuvre’s, this does actually work really well as when you get it right you are placed into a powered up mode when striking back,the whip grows on you pretty fast and does give you good reach so use it to keep your distance as the enemies are brutal it ain’t no walk in the park. You will experience some pause time when loading its not a game stopper, but yeah, is slightly annoying, though compared to my old xbox 360 which put lines on a few of my dvd game discs making them unusable,was not the worst and the game continues,which really is important,camera angles sometimes are in the wrong place forcing you to adapt your controls to compensate,which really should have been avoided,using items mid fight…somehow…sometimes,I found myself changing what item is selected,trying to put it back midfight was not fun but it may just be me without giving away spoilers there are more weapons which can be upgraded with artifacts and different hollow power modes,you will find power ups scattered about allowing you to use these to increase your levels,be aware when you do each time,the actual price to purchase from vulgrim will also increase,I found that as the game progressed the items found also increased in amount inline with vulgrims increase,so I used these found power ups to increase my levels as soon as I could and did not save them for later, There is no loot system or mini map,the loot being absent was not really an issue but the mini map being absent was at first disappointing but I was prepared for that as previous reviews made me aware, they use vulgrims locations as a menu driven…different to the previous versions…kind of map,it uses screenshots/pictures of the location which does work pretty dam well…there are some auto save points but are scarce and really should have had better thought applied, when you respawn you arrive at vulgrims location,so when ever I got the chance I would go back to visit vulgrim even if I did not purchase anything in case that could be used as a way for the game to update my progress The very first part…when you are familiarizing yourself with the whip…BAM you are faced with a boss,it really is a bit rough as it does respawn you back to the beginning each time until defeated,its not far but it’s a little aggravating at the start,grit your teeth and keep going as the game is well worth it. It’s a huge game,plenty of fun time to be had,well worth the wait and thoroughly enjoyed it!

Having played the first two games to death (pun intended) I was looking forward to this release. Frame rate, poor graphics, loading times, immediately there's obvious problems. Feels like a last gen sideways or even backwards step rather than a step forward. I can't think of anything good to say at this point, after a good few hours playing it it just feels like a chore. I've put hundreds of hours into the dark souls franchise and can't relate the two IP's. Frustration was part of dark souls with the risk/reward ethos, Darksiders 3 is just frustrating.

Fast delivery no issues, ok game if you like the dark siders series

Really enjoyed the first two and the same goes for this installment. So much so that I'm currently on my fifth or sixth ( I forget) play through, just sose I can get the last trophy (Apocalyptic).

So let me preface this with "I love the Darksiders franchise" and I genuinely thought it was dead after THQ went out of business. Enter Nordic Games (now THQ Nordic), who bought the licence and set to work carrying on the series. It's a good game, the combat is decent and it plays well enough. They've patched in alternate controls as well if you prefer the "classic" experience. The art style from the original games (comic/cell shaded/3D) based on Joe Madureira's art and designs (I'm not sure if he was still included at this point or if he designed the art style and that was it) is still present and as always, looks great. With my limited experience of the story so far though, I'm not overly invested in the characters. War (voiced by Liam O'Brien in the original) has broken the seal and started a war between Heaven and Hell, and during this, Fury is brought in to hunt down the Seven Deadly SIns. She is provided a watcher (as War was in the original, voiced by Mark Hamill) who is...gratingly subservient and apologetic where Fury is rash, angry and impetuous, and this all just...doesn't mesh for me. It's an enjoyable enough game, but the story isn't keeping me invested enough to make me WANT to finish it, which is a shame as I would like to see a 4th game to round out the collection and the horsemen. If you enjoy action rpgs with a side of 3d platforming and puzzle solving, then it's well worth a try though.

Time spent on graphics instead of fun(ctional) gameplay. As a video game movie for fans of the darksiders series this installment doesn't disappoint but as an actual video game, I would go so far as to say it is nearly unplayable. I have a first generation ps4 and my console could barely run the game due to unnecessary height of the graphics. What I could play and from what I watched on youtube, the traditional hack n slash formula has been poorly executed, the good old days as WAR running around with simple mechanics, easy combo strings and an accurate sense of power whilst piloting a nearly unkillable horsemen is gone. Fury can die...and not just to bosses but ambient trash mobs, the camera is even worse than third person hack n slash games and her moveset and attacks lack the overpowered feeling of the previous two protagonists. The only time you get a reminder of your nephalim status is in her fury mode but outside of that the gameplay is just attacks strings and dodge windows (like arkham or dark souls) without any of the flavor of the first two games. Still a fan of the series but I definitely would only recommend this game as a movie.

So much potential but instead of investing in a good game, they made it as a cash cow. Could've been so much better. Instead, it's really bad.

Amazing game to play. Take no notice of the poor reviews. its a very fun game to play. i liked D1 and D2 and also D3. a absolute must have

Buena tercera parte de esta para mi gran saga. Cambia el planteamiento visto en las anteriores entregas, haciendo el combate más frenético con toques souls, si te matan pierdes la experiencia y debes ir a recuperarla. Visualmente está bastante bien, note hace explotar la cabeza pero es resultón. Algún pequeño problema con alguna textura o con la sincronización del audio de una conversación con la boca del que habla pero nada grave. Si eres fan de la saga Darksaiders lo debes de jugar y si no eres fan pero te llama dicha saga, ahora es el mejor momento para comenzar, tanto el primero como el segundo los tienes por 20€ cada uno y este suele estar a buen precio.

The product is delivered well.

È un gioco bellissimo con la dinamica che devi essere sempre pronto allo scatto di riflesso per non essere ucciso piccoli enigmi molti punti nascosti dove meno te lo credi ma per me ci sono 2 sbagli il 1 se vuoi tornare indietro dal mercante il gioco si ferma e meno male si nota il caricamento il 2 e che non ci sono i checpoint perciò se muori prima di arrivare al mercante e hai molte anime le perdi tutte e devi ripartire da capo dall'ultimo mercante che hai salvato comunque detto questo è molto intrigante devi avere pronti riflessi e astuzia

Desafortunadamente los souls-like se volvieron tendencia y no podia faltar que tambien afectara al universo darksiders, en este juego conocemos a furia, la tercera (o cuarta si contamos a genesis) jinete del apocalipsis, en su misión de capturar a los 7 pecados capitales que se encuentran sueltos en la tierra, precisamente por ser un souls los combates son un poco más pensados y estrategicos pero aun asi mantiene un buen ritmo de acción, el mundo es bastante amplio y con buena variedad de enemigos pero siento que el formato souls no se presta para la exploración en este juego CONS: Como tiene que cargar todo el escenario y enemigos cada vez que mueres los tiempos de carga para el ps4 original son larguísimos, no se como sean en el Ps4 Pro pero para mi se volvieron aceptables cuando lo instalé en mi Ps5, los escenarios son lentos para recorrer por lo que ya que avanzas en la historia se vuelve cansado estar buscando a Vulgrim para poder transportarte a un punto mas cercano al que nececitas llegar y aun así no esta colocado en puntos que te ayuden con desplazarte en el mapa,... que por cierto como buen souls no tiene mapa por lo que todo es a memoria PROS: Continuan la historia de este magnifico universo, graficos basados en sus anteriores entregas por lo que puedes saber que son espectaculares, batallas épicas y dificiles, una protagonista de esas que amas odiar o que odias amar y que le hace honor a su nombre desde el primer instante en que aparece en pantalla, sonido envolvente, etc. Definitivamente no el mejor de la saga, pero mantiene el alto nivel de jugabilidad y calidad que tiene todo el universo darksiders
