Judging by the tile of this review I'm sure I'm gonna get some stupid comment from toxic ass holes gamers saying get better or maybe the game stuck because you suck bullshit, well fact are facts this game well and truly sucks.
Don't get me wrong, I've been a fan of the Darksiders games for a while and platinum both Darksiders and Darksider 2 games and have loved the story so far, which is great because since THQ went bankrupt these game hung in the air, until a company brought the game licence and gave us this games back.
Unfortunately, Darksider 3 although the character design and story is great, the game sucks on so many levels it unreal, the Most reviewer will complain about the game graphics being outdated looking like a PS3 graphics for a next-gen console, but this is not the problem with the game.
The biggest issue is the dark soul style combat which doesn't fit with the game mechanics and should never have been made like this, If people wanted a challenge the first two games in it hard mode offend that challenge without changing the gameplay style of the game.
This is the biggest issue with the game and it layouts, you first start off with a pretty shit whip which hardly does any damage until you level up, which in itself unlike the first two games this game is taking the piss when levelling up.
You find yourself having to stay in the first few areas you got to just to farm soul to level up high to progress through the game, even then your barley make a dent in enemy health in the first stages of the game. Which forces you to a spent hour going back and forth to collect soul and level up with vulgrim who give you points to level one of the three stats.
instead of just having a simple play through the levels attack enemy's level up, you find that you are dying every 5 Min's of the game because not only the camera but because the enemies are too strong, this is on easy mode. See the other two games the enemies only become stronger when you get to later levels, but what they have done is made an unfair system when you have to continually grain for 30 hours in the first stage of the game to level up so you have a chance of actually getting somewhere in this game.
Ya, some people will say oh your just a crap gamer you can't play the game, which personally those people can do one because I have no interest in their opinions. I'm not gonna defend a game this bad.
The combat is weak with a starting with a piss poor whip that barely make a damage you die every 5 Min's, there is no block which was in the first two games, which again with dark souls style combat doesn't work for this game, the dodge is absolutely pointless as you still get hit when you try to dodge,so what the point of dodge attack if you gonna get hit anyway.
This kind of defeats the whole point of dodging attacks. Some may say it a fun game, sorry it not a fun game when you have to spend hour grinning for souls to level up and still die anyway because the dodge system is shit.
Sadly this game has been ruin because of self-entitled brat want a dark soul style game out of this, I'm sorry but dark souls work for its own game, it doesn't work for this game because you get overwhelmed by the enemy, sadly that dodge no work and the dark soul style combat make this game just frustrating to play with an unfair system.
Not to mention the power switching, i accidentally turn of the flame mode, I was pressing dozen of button to put it back on because there was no wheel system to select it, this is another problem with the game, no power select wheel system that the first two original games had, this allows a player to seamless switch powers in the game, here in Darksiders 3 there is none, which make it worst no mini map.
Not to mention no indication of what level these enemies are a few time I've run in to area where the enemies have hit me once this is on the first stage of the game killing me straight away, which is why this whole game feel rush and generally made just to please the people that asked for a harder game.
Darksiders series was never meant to be a dark soul style game this is where they've screwed up because the mechanics of this game doesn't allow you to play fair, with an unfair system of combat, after waiting for years for this game I'm seriously disappointed and wished I never brought this game because Ive Wasted £50 on this crap think this game would be like the other Darksiders game with a slight challenge in hard mode, but never expected it to be unfair and stupid made all for the sake of making a dark soul games.
Pros:
Story
character design
Cons:
Mechanics of the game are weak
the combat style is unfair
Enemies are too much for a dark souls style game
No select wheel for powers or items
Levelling up is way to slow
Verdict: Piss poor game of the series that could've been made like the other games, it would have been fun to play, as it is this game has been ruined with the dark soul themes in combat mechanics which doesn't work for this character.
