Mitch Wallace writes - Darksiders III is a strange one. Truthfully, I can’t recall the last time I’ve had such a strong love/hate relationship with a video game, and despite all its aggravating design choices, difficulty spikes and redundant level design, I keep coming back for more.
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.
I really enjoyed it and would put it on par with the previous 2 games (though perhaps the budget was a little lower). It has it's issues though.
Clever puzzles and just the right balance with combat and traversal. Great bosses and fantastic enemy art design. Most importantly, it's fun! 8/10.
Is there nothing new out that a mediocre game like Darksiders III is getting attention? The franchise has never really been popular.
I really miss the design of DS2 but I guess this was more similar to the first game (it was nice to see all the 4 horsemen together even though it's an illusion within a fictive story)I really hope they fix the technical issues the PC version has.
