6/11/2023 0 Comments Darksiders iii reviewsDarksiders 3 continues this trend of borrowing ideas, with one series in particular seemingly having served as a muse for the developers: Dark Souls.ĭarksiders 3 funnels you into a boss fight within minutes of starting the game, a trick long utilized by the Souls series as a means of saying “this is what you can expect, we aren't messing around here!” Unfortunately, Gunfire Games didn't quite get the memo that the Souls' series and its successful imitators abide by: the game should to be difficult, but also fair. The first two titles executed their combination of hack-and-slash action, platforming and puzzles so well that it was hard to care too much about the lack of original mechanics, especially in light of the unique premise and setting. From a gameplay standpoint, the series has always borrowed ideas from other games, such as God of War, Legend of Zelda or even Portal. While the quality and content of Darksiders 3's story and character interactions fit pretty nicely alongside previous entries, the rest of the experience is significantly less successful. Fury's constant anger can make her feel a bit one-dimensional early on, but she does eventually grow as a character amid some interesting narrative twists and turns that keep things interesting and help the game's sub-story fit comfortably into the unique and intriguing, but convoluted, overarching plot for the series. If there is one aspect of the game that holds up to the previous entries, it is the story, which proves to be fun and well presented, with good voice acting bringing life to the somewhat goofy but engaging dialogue between new and returning characters. ![]() In the Darksiders universe, the Sins are manifested as various beings which Fury must defeat in combat, with the story taking her to Earth to track them down one by one. While War was in chains and Death was on his quest to restore humanity after the apocalypse began on earth, we learn that the Charred Council sent Fury on her own quest, to defeat the Seven Deadly Sins that were unleashed during the same event. After playing as War and Death in the previous Darksiders games, the third title sees you filling the shoes of the only female horseman, Fury.
