Darksiders 3 Launch Reviews Are Very Mixed – Review Roundup
The Darksiders series was never one of the biggest in the gaming scene, but it nevertheless has its following and the first two games were well-reviewed. After several years it was announced that the third game in the series would finally be happening, and now Darksiders 3 is out this week. However, the response at launch has definitely been much lower than that of the first two games.
Checking out the game’s average on Game Rankings so far, the game is averaging just under 60% on PS4. Things look a little better on the PC side of things for the moment, where the average is right around 70%. Even still, considering that each of the first two games have scores in the low-to-mid 80%-range, it looks like we may have our first swing and miss for the series.
GameSpot covered the PS4 version of the game, and they gave the game a 4/10 in their review. They said that the game’s camera and lock-on systems are a constant chore to deal with, and the game’s environments are dull. That goes along with their dislike of the game’s simplistic progression and “numerous technical issues,” which all add up to a game with a lot of problems. They did praise certain one-on-one combat encounters and the inventive character designs, but that’s it.
On a more positive note we have the IGN review covering the PC version, which received a 7/10. They actually liked the game’s “straightforward simplicity,” as well the game’s challenging combat (that can occasionally be a bit too unforgiving). However, they did note that the game really doesn’t take any risks or introduce new concepts to shake up the formula.
Overall, it’s looking like hardcore fans of the series should give it a shot, but everyone else should probably pass or wait for price drops down the road. You can check out more PS4 and PC reviews of the game as they are released in the coming days. Darksiders 3 launches for PlayStation 4 and PC on November 27th.
Recurring Persona 3 remake rumors are exciting and exhausting. A site domain was changed in the same fashion as prior Atlus releases, indicating an announcement is imminent.
The “RE” suffix may refer to a “Reloaded Edition” or “Reload,” possibly referencing the game’s infamous Evoker pistols.
According to Persona Central, recent adjustments to the “P3RE.JP” domain suggest an announcement may be coming soon, likely at the Xbox Games Showcase. The Green Machine has an exclusive arrangement with the console Persona 3 and Persona 4 remasters, so we could see it there.
Your thoughts? This rainbow must include a Persona gold pot, right?
Square Enix looks to be following the Jim Ryan Marketing Playbook by bombarding fans with Final Fantasy XVI gameplay.
Despite respectfully asking a halt to things pre-PlayStation Showcase, we’ve had the Liquid Flame Boss fight trailer in the week since, and now this newest today, courtesy of IGN’s First effort. To clarify, we’ve long been sold on Final Fantasy 16. Squeenix is targeting a new demographic with this release, so we expect the hits to keep coming until launch day (although there’s no guarantee).
Square Enix’s Final Fantasy 16 marketing blitz—what’s up? When each trailer is this amazing, quantity becomes quality. Are you media-free or unable to look away?
Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2, coming to PS5 and PS4, will immediately refund physical preorders and refund digital preorders upon request. Paradox Interactive updated its game development webpage.
“We remain just as dedicated to delivering a great Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines game as we were when we announced, and are looking forward to showing you more in September this year,” the Bloodlines team wrote in a message that refunded preorders.
Many of you pre-ordered Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 a long time ago. We will update the game’s editions and added material as production continues, and we want to give the most value to those who backed us via digital pre-order after all this time.”
Despite being unfinished, Troika’s 2004 roleplaying game Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines is rated one of the greatest. In the extremely adult World of Darkness, players play a fledgling vampire striving to survive in a politically volatile society with blood-sucking clans as lethal as any military-trained monster hunter (there are many of those, too).
