Which just so happen to be out right now, in prettier formats and sillier names on current-gen consoles and PC. Imprisoned for a crime that he didn’t commit, War’s exile results in his brethren being charged with finding the root cause of the end of times, a scenario that has already been explored in Darksiders 1 and 2. That somebody, being one of the titular four horsemen of the apocalypse, the taciturn War. Somebody started the actual biblical apocalypse, heaven and hell wage a new war across Earth and somebody is to blame. If you’re coming into Darksiders for the first time, here’s the brief skinny: Everything is f***ed. Darksiders III may be ambitious, but it’s a hunger that dines on half-baked design far too often. There’s still that chunky gameplay built on a kickass comic book aesthetic, an inspired sense of exploration that goes hand in hand with the puzzles of moderately sized environments.Īt the same time, Darksiders III’s superb action has a bad habit of being infuriating at times, thanks to technical snafus aplenty which makes the game feel like the equivalent of massaging your prostate with an industrial jackhammer. In many ways, Darksiders III does so much with very little.

Nordic Games may have picked up the series and rebranded itself as THQ Nordic, but the announcement of Darksiders III was one that made me realise that even if a resurrection was on the cards, there’d be a few caveats along the way.Īfter all, THQ Nordic may be flush with cash currently, but it couldn’t funnel all of it towards developer Gunfire Games for their sequel. Sure, it had been a good couple of years since Death had taken THQ with him in Darksiders 2, the franchise slipping into the abyss as the once-mighty publisher and developer fell into a pit of bankruptcy from which there was no crawling back. Going into Darksiders III, I’d decided to temper my expectations.
