Darksiders III — Review Darksiders III is an action-adventure game starring Fury, one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. Her mission is to hunt down the Seven Deadly Sins across a ruined, hostile world. Fury fights with a whip and a range of magical forms, each offering different attacks and ways to explore. Combat rewards patience and careful timing, giving the game a more deliberate feel than its predecessors. The interconnected world is full of hidden paths, dangerous enemies, and environmental puzzles. The game’s dark fantasy art and atmospheric soundtrack create a memorable setting, and Fury’s sharp personality gives the story plenty of character. However, the combat can feel unforgiving, and some encounters become repetitive. Exploration and backtracking may also test your patience. Verdict: Darksiders III offers a stylish, challenging adventure with a compelling lead and a distinctive world. It’s best suited to players who enjoy deliberate combat and dark fantasy exploration.
Finished the game on **Reckoning difficulty. Don't do that.** If you want a real challenge, play on **Apocalyptic**. Reckoning is less "difficult" and more "unfair". Most mid-game enemies can one or two-shot you while having enormous HP pools. One of the DLC bosses has over **200K HP**, while my whip combo was doing around 1K damage. That's not difficulty, that's just making the numbers bigger. ### What it does well **Level Design — 9/10** Probably the best part of the game. The world is beautifully interconnected, with great Metroidvania progression and verticality. Some areas genuinely reminded me of Dark Souls 1's Lordran and Dishonored. Skar, one of the final areas, is especially fun to explore once you have all the Hollows. **Enemy & Boss Design — 8/10** Darksiders has always had great enemy designs and III continues that tradition. The Seven Deadly Sins are visually great and most have interesting mechanics. Sloth is terrible, though. The Ionos fight from *Keepers of the Void*, on the other hand, is one of my favorite boss fights in the game. **Story — 6/10** Nothing special, nowhere near Darksiders I or II, but good enough to keep you going. Fury's character development comes a little too late. The good thing is that the game has very little padding. If you're here for the lore, play on Story difficulty and rush through the Seven Deadly Sins. ### What it does badly **Combat — 4/10** This is where the Soulslike approach completely falls apart. Combat is basically: **Wait for attack → dodge → Arcane Counter → repeat.** You have normal attacks, charged attacks, Arcane Counters and a few Hollow abilities. That's about it. There are no meaningful combos, launchers, juggling, air combos or other mechanics that made previous Darksiders games fun. Good Soulslikes give you multiple ways to approach an encounter. Darksiders III mostly gives you one: dodge and counter. **Progression — 5/10** You basically have three stats: Health, Physical Damage and Arcane Damage. There isn't much build variety. The Enchantment system is also unnecessarily grindy. Fully upgrading enchantments requires a huge amount of materials, pushing you toward Crucible farming. **Reckoning — 2/10** Reckoning makes almost every enemy a damage sponge while reducing your dodge i-frames. Many enemies can kill you in one or two hits. This doesn't feel like a skill-based challenge. It feels like an endurance test. And then there's the **Crucible**. There are checkpoints every 25 stages, which is a cool system. But the secret boss **Wicked K** requires a 1–100 run without using those checkpoints. On Reckoning, that's an absurd grind. A no-hit run can take around 90 minutes. I actually cleared the entire Crucible, but eventually gave up on the 1–100 Reckoning run. I finished the game, started NG+ on Story and planned to change the difficulty later. Then I discovered the Crucible is progression-locked in NG+ and I could only go to Stage 25. At that point, I simply closed the game. **6.5/10** Darksiders III is not a bad game. It has **excellent level design, good enemy/boss design and decent lore**, but the combat and Reckoning difficulty seriously drag it down. If you want to experience the story, play on **Normal/Story**. If you want a challenge, play **Apocalyptic**. **Don't play Reckoning unless you genuinely enjoy suffering.**
Do you really like Darksiders 1&2? If you do then play this one, BUT you will probably not like it nearly as much. I was hesitant to play this game due to the mixed reception at launch, but i recently got back into the series and wanted to give it a go. The first few hours are not great. Its hard to tell if the game is going to be good and you kinda just have to push through until you get your second or third set of weapons (Hollows) for the game to start picking up. All the while you are going to be getting punched in the balls by the DarkSouls style combat. Its simply not that fun and doesnt meld well with the hack and slash style combat. Only at the very end of the game did I feel like the balance between Souls and Hack and Slash met at an enjoyable level, but even then it was probably still a hinderance. The puzzles are also not great. They arent terrible by any means, just uninspired for the most part. One puzzle was very good and i really enjoyed solving it, and as i entered the new path that opened in front of me... an enemy that was placed around a 90 degree corner double hit me with a sword throw and killed me outright. Couldnt even dodge since there are no invincibility frames on being hit. Enemies do too much damage, theres often too many enemies at one time and you have too few heals for it to be an enjoyable combat flow. The hack and slash combat however is quite good and late game very good. I found the character development for Fury to be the highlight of the game surprisingly. The late game backtracking and exploration was also surprisingly fun. This game could have been so much better
Darksiders 3 Is Better Than You Think I went into Darksiders III with low expectations because I didn’t enjoy Darksiders II… and came out genuinely surprised. This game is a souls-lite gem. If you’re someone who enjoys Souls combat but doesn’t want to deal with overwhelming systems or massive open-world chaos, this hits a really sweet spot. It’s focused, challenging, and respects your time. A lot of negative reviews come from older fans expecting Darksiders II again. They saw a souls-like shift and started complaining. To them, I’ll just say it straight, skill issue. The map design is where the game really hooked me. It’s not open-world, but an interconnected web of areas that loop back into each other in a really satisfying way. I usually don’t like metroidvania-style backtracking, but here it felt purposeful. Every time I unlocked a new Hollow power, I immediately remembered places I couldn’t reach before and actually wanted to go back. That curiosity kept pulling me forward. Exploration is backed by smart puzzle design. Each area has multiple puzzles that make you stop and think, and they never feel random. The mechanics are clean, and traversal stays simple even when the world itself is complex. The Hollow abilities (Flame, Storm, etc.) are a highlight. Each one changes both combat and movement in meaningful ways. Combat is slower and more deliberate compared to previous Darksiders games, but that’s exactly why it works. It rewards patience and awareness instead of button mashing. Now for the one thing that really annoyed me: Those Prince of Persia-style swing sections. The same button is used for attacking and grappling, which leads to moments where you accidentally attack mid-air and fall. It’s frustrating and easily the weakest part of the gameplay. And then there’s Fury. Fury absolutely carries the experience. Ruthless, powerful, and commanding presence throughout. Her character arc is surprisingly well done, and yeah, At your service, my queen. The story is structured, easy to follow without being hand-holdy, and ties nicely into the larger Darksiders universe. It left me actually interested in what comes next, especially with Darksiders 4 on the horizon. Overall: 9/10 If you like Souls-like combat but want something more focused and manageable, this is a lightweight goldmine. Highly recommended.
