From the AusGamers Review.
"Which in turn makes the first few hours with Darksiders III not that memorable or fun to play. The earliest locations build on some of the blandest environments found in the original Darksiders, from overgrown city streets to abandoned car parks and subway tunnels. Okay, so the outdoor streets do feature some interesting art direction with impressive scale, but even large trees jutting out of skyscrapers is something we’ve seen before. And already in this series, no less. Touted as one large connected world, what you mostly get is long stretches of claustrophobic, linear, walking through corridors, section after section. To the point where you’ll soon forget about the mount teased in pre-release marketing material – in that there simply isn’t enough of an explorable environment for a horse to make sense. So, Fury doesn’t get one."
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.
Adam Vale of The Koalition writes: When thinking about some of my favorite hack & slash adventure games of last-gen, Darksiders and Darksiders II pop up in my head. 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.
