"Poor combat, an uninteresting story, and a litany of performance issues linger throughout Darksiders III, making it easily the worst entry in the trilogy so far."Īs for some actual criticism about the story at hand in Darksiders III, I just didn't find it all that compelling. Maybe it's derivative to criticize the story of Darksiders III for what it isn't rather than what it is, this series is nearly a decade old and I still don't feel like it has ever expanded upon the story in many meaningful ways, which is a shame. Overall, we've reached a point with the Darksiders series where I'm just kind of tired of seeing each Horseman's view of what happened in the fallout of the Apocalypse. Throughout Fury's journey, you'll travel across the globe to take down each Deadly Sin while further learning more about just what's going on in the expanded world. Set during the 100-year imprisonment of fellow Horseman and Darksiders protagonist War, Fury sets off to Earth to unravel the mystery surrounding War's situation while in the process, defeating the Seven Deadly Sins which in the world of Darksiders take physical forms. This time around Darksiders III places you in the role of the lone female of the Four Horsemen: Fury. Poor combat, an uninteresting story, and a litany of performance issues linger throughout Darksiders III, making it easily the worst entry in the trilogy so far and even worse, just a bland action RPG. Unfortunately, the result is nothing that I hoped it would be. While it took a little over six years to get here, Darksiders III has finally arrived despite having to overcome a variety of obstacles along the way. It was another fantastic game, in my opinion, and I couldn't wait to see what the series did next. Two years later in 2012, Darksiders II released and continued to borrow new elements from other popular games while still making those mechanics and systems feel original. The action franchise that saw its first installment release back in 2010 was incredibly under-the-radar when it hit store shelves, and despite it having many commonalities with other more notable franchises, it did a lot of cool things on its own that made it unique. I've been evangelizing to friends and colleagues who haven't played the Darksiders series in anticipation of Darksiders III.
