    Once again, the Horsemen offer us a masterpiece. Darksiders III, even with all the fear and skepticism behind the game, has managed to become a superb hack ‘n’ slash. The personal journey of Fury against the Seven Deadly Sins is simply amazing, and everything is set towards the future for Strife to come and end this awesome epic.

    Not quite the triumphant return long-time fans had hoped for but nevertheless, Darksiders III is an enjoyable and worthy entry in the series. The biggest issue here is that newcomers will likely find Fury and her world a little too unwelcoming. To those of us who have already shared the trials of War and the journey of Death, delivering Fury’s wrath is a satisfying if somewhat guilty pleasure.

    Darksiders III suffers from some technical shortcomings but it presents an enjoyable experience at heart with a good story that sets the series on the right path for a finale that could be great if done probably.

    Darksiders 3 feels like coming home for fans, and combat is a blast - but it can be hard to appreciate the good when dealing with a laundry list of technical stumbles.

    Severe performance problems and a misguided implementation of Souls mechanics in Darksiders 3 tarnish an otherwise perfunctory, but at least occasionally enjoyable return to one of last generation's better action series.

    Beneath the mountain of bugs, shoddy design and inconsistent performance, there’s a genuinely good adventure waiting to be experienced in Darksiders III. Unfortunately, its numerous problems are more than just annoying in nature. They’re quite simply…apocalyptic.

    The game is a nightmare to play through, with an unlikable protagonist, a chugging frame rate, and a mountain of bugs. It’s completely and utterly broken, but even when it works (which is almost never), it amounts to nothing more than a below average hack-and-slash with some decent puzzles.

This is also a VERY hard game and does not feel very balanced until after leveling up to around level 40. I recommend starting on "Balanced" difficulty and saving the harder settings for new game +, but that's just my opinion to make it fair and fun the first time through (I thought it was still hard enough on the balanced setting).… Expand

    Esse jogo é bem fraquinho, não consegui gostar muito dele, apesar de achar que a ideia é ótima, confio que poderiam produzir um jogo melhor.

    Para empezar, decir que he terminado el juego de salida y adquirido la Apocalypse Edition (400$), por lo que intentaré que la reseña sea loPara empezar, decir que he terminado el juego de salida y adquirido la Apocalypse Edition (400$), por lo que intentaré que la reseña sea lo más objetiva posible.

    Nos encontramos ante la peor entrega hasta la fecha de la saga, pero eso no indica que sea un mal juego. De hecho, no lo es, pero tiene serios problemas técnicos (al menos en mi PS4 Slim) que emborronan toda la experiencia. Algunos de estos problemas son inexplicables y obvios a la vez: inexplicables como las pantallas de carga que duran 20s mínimo, con cargas cada 20 metros dentro de cualquier nivel, cuando hay juegos en el mercado (como Read Dead Redemption 2) que ni se despeinan cargando juegos con unos escenarios decenas de veces más amplios y gráficos mucho más punteros; explicable por el intuyo poco presupuesto que habrán dedicado a esta tercera entrega (bastante inferior a 50 millones por lo que la empresa publicó). También hay serios problemas de frame-rate y sincronización labial, así como textos sin traducir y subtítulos comunmente desincronizados.

    Ahora bien, quitando todo lo negativo, tenemos lo "positivo": Encontramos unas mecánicas jugables muy cambiadas que tiran más hacia un Souls (donde se premia el esquivar y aprender patrones), lo cual no agradará a todos. Los combos están bien, así como los poderes y objetos a nuestra disposición. He de recalcar que yo aborrezco los juegos de tipo Souls, como Dark Souls, Lords of the Fallen o The Surge, pero he de reconocer que Darksiders III me ha parecido mucho más entretenido y menos tedioso que estos.

    La historia pues meh, nada del otro mundo. No recuerdo bien la de los anteriores, pero veo que no termina de cuajar. Por otro lado, el diseño artísitco es brutal, como ya nos tienen acostumbrados en la saga. Los diseños de personajes, armaduras y enemigos, así como de escenarios y props son brutales y desprenden carisma e iconografía.

    En definitiva, Darksiders III no está para nada a la altura de sus predecesores, pero es divertido de jugar y a pesar de todas sus fallas técnicas se puede disfrutar (supongo que en PC tendrá un muy superior rendimiento a la versión de PS4).

    Si no te importa tragarte un par de tirones bastante a menudo, pantallas de carga desesperantes y te gustan los juegos de corte Souls, adelante, juégalo.    … Expand

    Why did they ever stray away from the Zelda/GOW formula of the first game.. DS3 should be running at 60 fps for a start, but its budget and feels it.

    Easily the WORST game i've played in ten years. It is wrong on so many levels.

    It's supposed to be hard, but it is actually unplayable.    Easily the WORST game i've played in ten years. It is wrong on so many levels.

    It's supposed to be hard, but it is actually unplayable. Freezes in a middle of a fight, camera that stays stuck in some random walls, dodge mechanics that works once in a while (and in apocalyptic difficulty, you dies in 2 hits, i let you imagine), graphics that are looking dated (Darksiders 2 remastered is looking better)... It is not even close of an Alpha build.

    Don't waste your time and money on this. You're welcome.    … Expand
