Darksiders III - DarkSoulsSiders (Jimpressions)
REUPLOADED TO CORRECT A MISTAKE, SORRY FOR THE INCONVENIENCE!
Darksiders used to be a damn good copy of Zelda. Now it's a damn awful ripoff of Dark Souls. Yet another game that doesn't understand why the Souls series is successful, THQ Nordic's heartbreaking Darksiders III annoys and exasperates at every turn.
On top of that, it's a stripped down sequel, thoroughly reduced in scale compared to Darksiders II... and the first Darksiders, for that matter! It's ugly, its performance is horrible, and goes so far in cloning Dark Souls it even starts stealing lore and terminology. Utter garbage.

Well this video sold me on not even bothering with this lame ass game. I was rather excited as Jim was about a new Darksiders, it's sad that there was little effort into doing anything original with this series.
Damn. I'm sorry to hear that Jim. It is such a blow when a beloved franchise regresses.
Cheers for the review. A shame about the downgraded combat and navigation of the world. Is the story progression appropriate to the last games at least? enough to see potential for a good Darksiders 4 story? And I hate to ask this because I'm happy to pay full price for good games, but a good game on sale? Thank you Jim Sterling Son.
“I really like whips” Hey, me too! “as weapons in games.” Oh, yeah… yeah, that's what I meant, too. >.>
In case anyone was wondering what Jim thought of <i>Lords Of The Fallen</i> like I was, here's his review: <a href="http://www.thejimquisition.com/lords-of-the-fallen-complete-edition-review/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Lords Of The Fallen: Complete Edition Review – Discount Souls</a> (I do remember reading this now, but I forgot most of it.)
Oh man :/ I loved Darksiders I & II
Damn - I can't say I'm surprised; but that is a pity. I was ecstatic when I heard the rights to Darksiders had been picked up, but when I'd heard comparisons to Dark Souls my optimism was shot to hell.
Man, that’s scathing. I preordered the collectors edition....hope I still get some entertainment out of it.
Makes me so sad! I'm hoping I'll still enjoy it.
