Darksiders III

Our analysis

Darksiders III has stunning underwater levels, striking enemy design and moments of freakishly good combat. Uneven level design, no enemy collision in group fights and frequent crashes hold it back, but it is worth it on sale for series fans.

Our analysis

An enjoyable budget action game that achieves its modest goals, with first-class enemy design, satisfying combat animations, and genuinely fun environmental puzzles. It is held back by a bland, underwhelming story that wastes the franchise's lore, plain environments, and a terrible, claustrophobic camera. Worth playing for genre fans, though it lacks the x-factor to elevate it beyond solid, and its full price invites unfair comparisons.

Our analysis

Mixed action-adventure; gameplay issues with some good controls.

Our analysis

ZP: hollow Dark Souls attempt; Fury is least boring protagonist yet.

Our analysis

BYB: lukewarm — lacks spark, performance issues.

Our analysis

Good framework with fun combat and interesting Hollow system but held back by weak puzzles, uninteresting environments, and numerous technical issues.
