#Darksiders 3 speedrun plus#
The fact that it’s a bit shorter than the first two entries (it took me around 10 hours to see the credits and five more to mostly clean things up) might be a plus for you. But there are a few locations that transcended notions of “feeling dated,” as they were too barren for their own good. Now for me, that’s fine! I can regularly go back to PS2-era action games and heartily enjoy them without ever pondering the merits of screen tearing or anti-aliasing. While the character design and the artwork is spot-on, the environments look like they were grafted out of a game several generations ago.

There is a middle-ground, they just haven’t found it yet. A lot of emphasis is put on leveling up to outpace the increasingly powerful threats the game throws at you, but the act of leveling and even upgrading weapons with socketed runes is frequently dull, almost like the team pulled back too much from the million-item Darksiders II system. That all funnels into the perception that the entire progression system lacks panache. Even though I had access to secondary weapons throughout I always felt comfortable using the whip. Though she eventually has access to more toys, her whip is a good catch-all area-of-effect whirlwind that works well out of the gate. Dodging and double-jumping are what you’re going to be doing most often, and swapping between forms really reminds me of a certain Capcom hero in the best ways.
#Darksiders 3 speedrun series#
Still, I worried quite a bit in the buildup for Darksiders III that they would both do right by the series and give Fury a distinctly different feel from the rest of her comrades: just as Death did when juxtaposed to War.įury is more like Death in that her mobility is her biggest strength but also sports the restrained movements of War. Gunfire Games isn’t entirely green in the arena of action as they are comprised of many developers of the original series and more recently worked on the Darksiders II remaster. Naturally for these Darksiders titan-level encounters you need a good combat base.
