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.

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.
