The horsemen are soon to ride.ġ2h 40m PlayedAbsolutely the worst in the series. The graphics were a bit all over the place, some places looked good or alright, some looked straight out of a PS2 game. It doesn't overstay it's welcome by being overly long at all. Found myself wanting to come back and and keep playing until I finished it. It is Dark Soulsesque and this is my first proper foray into the genre (Fallen Lord doesn't count), while it isn't notoriusly hard like Dark Souls, can be challenging and was satisfying when I got past those fights. Gameplay I was hesitant about as it was pretty different from other DS games but I actually really enjoyed and got to grips with quite quickly. Plot twist of the hooded human being Strife was cool, leading to more questions. The story is good, world and lore building hold up to usual DS standards, always growing more invested and interested in what is to come However, not too much happens in comparison to other games (so doesn't move things *too much*, doesn't take away too much though. The game centres around the fiery protagonist and is about how she grows from her Furious nature and becomes well rounded and aware of her actual role. There are also a lot of small visual issues (some items have no textures, for instance, and there are sometimes holes in the environment object), but it's not even an issue compared to the fact that the game is simply unfun to play.ġ2h 54m PlayedFury is a delight. For instance, evade is RB while in many games it's B). And, of course, it doesn't have a proper ultrawide support (cutscenes are in 16:9 and are also locked to 30 fps), proper gamepad support (can't rebind the buttons, and there is only one control scheme in the game which is inconvenient. I had stable 60 fps in AC Origins on ultra settings, this game looks way worse and has much smaller locations. And sometimes, despite 16 GB RAM and 970 EVO SSD it even totally freezes. It mostly uses only one CPU core (is it year 2005?), so it frequently drops below 60 fps on Ryzen 3600, mostly when streaming in new parts of the location. The secrets are dull, overall location design is uninspered, and generally it's simply not interesting to navigate these environments. and the world exploration aspect is much worse than in the previous games. The story is a mess (unless you are a seven years old), the writing is cringy af (some dialogues are unskippable, of course!). The same goes for bosses: Gluttony fight is more or less ok, the rest is totally forgettable, including the final two bosses. Not that they are absolutely horrible, but significantly less interesting than in Darksiders 1/2. Darksiders 1/2 had so many fun combos and takedowns, but the most effective way to kill enemies in Darksiders 3 is simply by mashing X or Y. Combat system in Darksiders 3 is really boring, mostly you just press or hold down X (or Y for the secondary weapon). I replayed Darksiders 1 and 2 after this one, and they are indeed ways more fun. 13h PlayedThe worst Darksiders game so far, even worse than Genesis.
