“I finished the game on Apocalyptic and out of the 3 games. DS3 is the 2nd best, #1 going to DS2 cause duh. I prefered the combat in this compared to all other versions, the powers, perfect dodges and dodge counters feel…”
“I played Darksiders III on the Steam Deck and it’s a solid action-adventure experience. You play as Fury, hunting the Seven Deadly Sins across a ruined Earth. Combat is challenging and focused on dodging and timing…”
“Not Recommended (for me) / Recommended (overall) I can tell this is a good game… it’s just not my thing. Darksiders III has a really cool style, solid combat, and the world is interesting to explore. It definitely feels…”

“I was pretty surprised to see that this game is the lowest rated of the three by a decent margin. I see a lot of people complaining about the combat and the general souls-likes direction of the game. I personally love…”
“Darksiders III delivers a bold shift in direction for the series, focusing on tighter combat, a more challenging difficulty curve, and a darker, more intimate story. Instead of the large-scale, war-driven spectacle of…”
“An excellent "souls-like" game with fun combat and great exploration. Definitely not what I expected considering the other games in the series are more along the lines of a dark Legend of Zelda style but still a great…”

“The very start of this game did have me worried, and there are things to criticize, but in the end I did thoroughly enjoy this game. It's simpler, like Darksiders 1, but it still has fun areas to explore, cool boss…”
“Ok. Hot take. This is a good game. Story is fine and so is gameplay. And is much less boring than God of War 4. It does not keep dragging on and on. And do not have yellow paint.”

“This is a good slasher and souls game. It took me 2-3 hours to figure out how to dodge, but I eventually got the hang of it and it became easier to play. The game also has a simple character development system, an…”
“I recommend because the game is sometimes really fun, but a lot of times not. I think Darksiders 1 > Darksiders 2 > Darksiders 3. This game has high highs, and low lows, so I'm giving it the benefit of the doubt and…”

“This game took me a while to get into due to the combat being very different from the first 2. As someone who has never played a Souls game and being my first souls-like, it took me a moment to get into the combat. Once…”
“Jak do tej pory najleprza częśc serii, dynamiczna i satysfakcjonująca. Nawet ja na moim ziemniaku który nie spełniał wymagań minimalnych dałek rade przejśc całość z nieznacznymi spadkami wydajności. Nie zawracał bym…”

“♥♥♥♥ this game its a cheap dark souls rip off instead of a darksiders game, they copy the worst mechanics of the souls series and make your character weak aswell as backtracking to pad out the playtime. im done with…”
“Died at the first bossfight due to finicky jumping with little explanation, got sent back to the start of the game. It's like they wanted to be a souls game but forgot to add soul.”

“The third installment in the Darksiders series, Darksiders III now focuses on the single horsewoman, Fury. This game continues the story off the heels of Darksiders II, and keep its third-person rpg gameplay. Fury's…”
“It's kinda okay in itself, but it's a far cry from Darksiders 2. It's harder to get into a flow state in combat compared to the previous one and the character of Fury is insufferable compared to Death (but still not as…”
“The game looks good and that's about it. Combat is okay, but really simple, enemy variety isn't great. Despite there being a lot of variants, they generally behave the same and with a lack of of depth, it's the same…”

“Darksiders 3 doesn't fit with the other Darksiders games in many ways. First and foremost, Darksiders is not an action-platformer unlike the prior games. There's barely any platforming and what little is there is crude…”

“Darksiders 3 is so much better in terms of gameplay, but it lacks a proper navigation menu.”

“[h1] Darksiders 3 Is Better Than You Think [/h1] 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…”
