Her tongue is almost as sharp as her skills, with the Horseman wielding a whip that would give Castlevania’s Belmont’s a rush of blood to the head. Cocksure, arrogant and smug in her abilities, Fury is an adorable jerkass who simply doesn’t give a damn. While War, Death and Strife get up to adventures of their own on an Earth that has become a new purgatory between the wicked and the divine, the final Horseman of the apocalypse is charged with a mission of her own: Find the Seven Deadly Sins (Not those ones anime fans), put an end to their rampage and keep the balance of power in check.Įnter Fury…Who’s kind of a jerk. Which just so happen to be out right now, in prettier formats and sillier names on current-gen consoles and PC. Imprisoned for a crime that he didn’t commit, War’s exile results in his brethren being charged with finding the root cause of the end of times, a scenario that has already been explored in Darksiders 1 and 2. That somebody, being one of the titular four horsemen of the apocalypse, the taciturn War. Somebody started the actual biblical apocalypse, heaven and hell wage a new war across Earth and somebody is to blame.
If you’re coming into Darksiders for the first time, here’s the brief skinny: Everything is f***ed. Darksiders III may be ambitious, but it’s a hunger that dines on half-baked design far too often. There’s still that chunky gameplay built on a kickass comic book aesthetic, an inspired sense of exploration that goes hand in hand with the puzzles of moderately sized environments.Īt the same time, Darksiders III’s superb action has a bad habit of being infuriating at times, thanks to technical snafus aplenty which makes the game feel like the equivalent of massaging your prostate with an industrial jackhammer. In many ways, Darksiders III does so much with very little.
DARKSIDERS III PUZZLE SERIES
Nordic Games may have picked up the series and rebranded itself as THQ Nordic, but the announcement of Darksiders III was one that made me realise that even if a resurrection was on the cards, there’d be a few caveats along the way.Īfter all, THQ Nordic may be flush with cash currently, but it couldn’t funnel all of it towards developer Gunfire Games for their sequel.
Sure, it had been a good couple of years since Death had taken THQ with him in Darksiders 2, the franchise slipping into the abyss as the once-mighty publisher and developer fell into a pit of bankruptcy from which there was no crawling back. Going into Darksiders III, I’d decided to temper my expectations.
