Pretty fun, decent co-op. mindless, repetitive, pretty. not much too the end game yet, but well supported.

very enjoyable lil jrpg. light on strategy and the story isnt profound or anything, but very satisfying timed hits, and a fun sort of avatar-y story. absolutely gorgeous art and animations the whole time through. music kinda boring most of the time, i think twice i felt the music was cool. i would recommend it on sale, itsa lot better than most of these homages to 90s rpgs

absolutely beautiful. one of the funniest games ever, also deeply moving, and fun. much longer and deeper than i expected, constantly surprising. stunningly designed. cute. with my favourite end credits song from any game. this game is underrated. its lovely. its beautiful. get it! GET IT!

amazing, one of the best puzzle games ever made. way more to it than youd expect. it was 15 hours before i had a plan to reach what i think might be the end, unconfirmed so far. ive filled 5 dense pages in my notebook. this game is great. possible goty 2025

this game sucks, they ubisoftified my darksiders! the combat is deeply boring and unrewarding, the character of fury is petty and small unlike death and war, who had real motivations and stories. the new watcher is -okay-. the real problem this game has is with its tragic lack of puzzles. there are very very puzzles, and they all amount to 'press x to swing from a bar' or 'use the right element on this very obvious object' there is no wall running/climbing. the combat has terrible rhythm, with checkpointing similar to a darksouls, except wherein dark souls each death feels meaningful, and you know what you have to do better next time, in darksiders 3, each death feels confusing and youll find yourself wondering, why did my dodge not work that time? and questions of that nature.

darksiders 1 and 2 are two of my most beloved games ever, and i was so excited to get a cool story about woman nephilim. and its just terrible. 'shes mad and needs to respect authority. she is easily manipulated by flattery.' a really boring character. Death and War werent deep, but they were like full concepts. Fury is a mere sketch. an abject failure of character writing.

the enemy and world designs leave alot to be desired, the feel of hugeness is gone, the lumbering, heavy silhouttes of Death and War brought so much character to the motion of the first two games, and fury is just generic red haired sexy lady, with none of the qualities that make Joe madz art so incredible. maybe he was less or not at all involved in this one or something, or maybe he can only draw women in one way, but visually and design wise, every aspect was a let down.

screw this game. dont even bother. there are a million soulslikes that are better. play code vein.

quite buggy but still very enjoyable. i did encounter several potentially game breaking bugs, but relaunching the game fixed each of them. its great, the dungeons are great, the environments are great. the monsters are great. love the puzzles, and the dlc. great game.

pretty fun, great lil dungeon puzzles, easy fights. cool secrets. if you want a zelda-like experience, this is one of the btter ones on pc

super cute with gay robots. satisfying combat difficulty, lots of extra post game stuff. really fun and beautiful game with many very cool sequence breaking options. stellar game, never really demands an unreasonable amount of precision with the ranged stuff. many varied environments and interesting character designs. great jazzy soundtrack.

short and sweet. really cool art, and nice music. lots of items, multiplayer is fun but VERY EASY. really enjoy. recommended.

what could have been the best souls game, but instead is hampered by its open world and repetitive boss encounters. as a result it is only in the top 10 soulslikes. its not bad, its just not as good as dark souls 1-3, or sekiro.
