It’s a fundamentally flawed title that does away with numerous systems and mechanics that the past two titles have iterated and built upon in meaningful ways but allows for a new type of entry in the series as a result. In turn, it’s unfortunate that I can’t recommend this game to fans of the series who were looking for more of the same, because they won’t get it here. Darksiders III fails to translate the scale of the events transpiring within the franchise's universe in favour of a more contained narrative that falls flat alongside its boring protagonist. However, if you enjoy Dark Souls, I’d urge you to at least give this title a shot. There’s plenty of fun to be had here if you can accept it for what it is: a fun, albeit, flawed experience."
Now that all of Darksiders' horsemen have been explored, it's about time we get the epic team-up the first game left us hanging for.
Embracer went on a massive studio buying spree in hopes one deal with saudis would go through and it didn’t.
Now they are shutting down studios and looking for cash after spending most of it on acquisitions.
I wouldn’t get my hopes up for anything that Embracer owns.
They need to get out of this problem they made for themselves but it may never happen. They f’d up big time.
Darksiders has little hope at this moment
Darksiders III on Nintendo Switch is a mostly well-done port that is likely to take a lot of people by surprise given its huge graphical upgrade over its previous generation predecessors. While the game itself is far from perfect, it should be commended that even with a few downgrades here and there, the overall integrity of the game remains intact and officially completes the entire Darksiders series being available on Nintendo Switch, which lends itself nicely to handheld play despite a AAA production that's as epic and grandiose as the series has ever been.

The story was unique, and the combat was satisfying with creative level design. For whatever reason, I never picked up Darksiders III. So here we are in 2021 and Darksiders III has been ported to my preferred portable gaming device. This is why I held off on reviewing this game until my Nintendo Switch OLED arrived. At least 90% of my gaming on the Switch is in handheld mode and I wanted to experience this horrid creature-infested world on the new vibrant OLED screen.
Despite the issues with the game itself, Darksiders III still looks great on the Nintendo switch OLED model.
