While I think Darksiders III is probably the worst game in the series its still worth to buy this game. But then again I feel kinda sorry for putting this game at the last place. Puzzles in this game are really fun. Very nostalgic.


+Fury journey from unlikable to almost relatable character
+Enemies hiding behind objects(at the start of campaign)
+Exceptional puzzles(like that one after Lord of Hollows where u had to use multiple jumps)
+Puzzles in general
+Hollows are fun mechanic that are more than player-environment interaction mechanic. Its your weapon source!
+As u get better at the game u feel progress of your character
+Souls wont disappear nor appear in awkward places(YES IM TALKING ABOUT ONE FRANCHISE IN PARTICULAR)
+-First Darksiders let u buy new moves, attack combinations, skills gained new effects. This one has enhancments that u can upgrade and generic lvling. U have all of the attacks from the start which I didnt even know about. Im on the fence if i should do a minus or plus. On one hand games shouldnt guide u at all, but on the other hand Its just waste of resources. There are so many attack combinations that are redundant. One combination could break their armor, other grant wrath etc etc. So many possibilties but They decided to leave it as it is.


---------------I hate dark souls
-imbalanced enemies. Basically any shooting enemy can be your downfall
-locations and enemies are so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ dark. Thankfully there is fire hollow
-one boss in particular. What do I do with those homing mines? Answer is simple but u must do one of the dumbest things anyone would imagine
-no map
-extremely buggy. U cant buy from Vulgrim more than 1 armour at the time cause ur mouse disappear. Also dont use Fire hollow jump in "secret" places. Otherwise u might end up stuck in the ceiling. yay
-Music. Its better than darksiders 1 (barely) but comparing a 20 year old game to a 3 year old? Lame for a such huge budget
-Activation of skills/shards etc. is so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ weird. U need to stop pressing attack and movement buttons in order to use them? Is this poor PC port or just design flaw?
-FPS drops. I dont know if its my pc? or just this game is badly optimized. Doom Eternal loaded in 5s, had 60fps constantly etc. I guess Im asking for too much
-There is barely any dialouge in this game from second and third plan characters. Darksiders 1 was so much better at story telling. Samaeal, Vulgrim even Charred Council was better. Speaking of Charred Council WHY DO WE KNOW SO LITTLE ABOUT THEM?! This game could finally change that. In total we see them 2 times in this game and Watcher is a fangirl that envies the hair of Fury.
-Plot falling apart. Since when Vulgrim knew about betrayal? Charred Council became a cartoony villain wothout any depth. Just wtf happened. I cant find any justification for their actions. DS1 writers are spinning in their chairs at 6G.

Edit. U know what? I fellt bad putting this game on last place but now? I feel it deserves it.
Devs learned from their mistake and Darksiders Genesis is so much better game overall.... 6.5/10 only bcs of puzzles and its an another Darksiders title.
