Darksiders 3 is set parallel to the first two games, which makes the franchise's overarching plot feel like it's running in place instead of making any real progress.
#Darksiders 3 review Ps4
At first we suspected it was a technical issue with our PS4 console, but we couldn't replicate it with any other game.ĭespite its massive gameplay flaws, some fans of the Darksiders franchise may still be willing to suffer through the game if the story is any good. This seemed to occur when trophies would pop during cut-scenes, and forced us to reset the game to fix it. Audio likes to drop on a semi-frequent basis, sometimes impacting the audio for our entire PS4 system, removing any sound effects not just in the game, but the dashboard as well. Textures routinely fail to load, despite the constant freeze-frame loading screens, and when they do, they're typically washed-out and ugly. The game doesn't just suffer from gameplay bugs. We ran into everything from invisible floors to one rather bizarre bug where we fell off a cliff, Fury disappeared, and then the camera stayed in the chasm for what seemed like forever until she finally respawned elsewhere. Players will run into technical issues and glitches more than they will enemies, and considering the sheer number of creatures new hero Fury will come up against, that's saying something.


Darksiders 3 is a broken mess of a game and it's baffling that it's being released to the public in its current state.
