5/9/2023 0 Comments Darksiders 3 reviewTechnically known in-universe as Barbs of the Scorn, Fury’s whip makes it immensely satisfying to unleash pain unto the hordes of demons that consistently cross your path. All three elements have a slightly new flavor to them this time around thanks to Darksiders III’s addition of a new central weapon: the blade whip. Doing so consists of regular bouts of glorious hack and slash combat, varied puzzle-solving, along with a healthy number of platforming challenges. War is facing judgment for his alleged attempt to pre-emptively start the apocalypse, Death has embarked on a personal mission to prove his brother’s innocence, meaning it falls to you as Fury to hunt down and rid Earth of the seven deadly sins. Much like the first sequel, the story of Darksiders IIIruns parallel to that of the original game. A few technical hitches aside, Darksiders III is a thrilling action romp through the end of the world. A few IP acquisitions from new publisher THQ Nordic later, however, and the epic tale thankfully rages on – this time with Fury, sister to earlier protagonists War and Death, ready to wreak havoc. Just when you thought developer Vigil Games was getting into the groove with its hack-and slash-franchise, which pits the four horsemen of the apocalypse against the forces of heaven and hell, series publisher THQ went bankrupt in 2012, leaving the future of the remaining two entries for this planned quadrilogy uncertain. The road to Darksiders III has been a long one. Release Date: NovemPlatform: PS4, XBO (reviewed), PC Developer: Gunfire Games Publisher: THQ Nordic Genre: Action-Adventure
