Notas muy dispares para la nueva entrega de Darksiders, la cuál se queda un poco a medio camino para lograr la grandeza de sus dos predecesores, un título con altibajos que, pese a todo, encierra muy buenos momentos de plataformeo y acción. La protagonista, Furia, así como los 7 grandes enemigos que representan los pecados capitales son lo mejor del juego.
En resumen, un título entretenido con el que pasarás un buen rato si te gustaron los anteriores, pero que queda por detrás de ellos en casi todo.

3DJuegos - Alejandro Pascual - 7 / 10
Darksiders III continúa la saga de los Jinetes tras años de ausencia. En esta ocasión, se ha apostado más por el combate que por las otras características de la saga, como la exploración y los puzles. Sigue siendo una experiencia divertida y en lo que respecta a la acción, más desafiante que sus antecesores que, quizá por la falta de recursos, no ha logrado mejores resultados. Los aficionados a la saga, sin embargo, disfrutarán de sus jefes y los poderes de Furia y su látigo, y tienen una nueva oportunidad de continuar con esta apocalíptica saga y con esperanzas de verla algún día terminada.
Vandal - Carlos Leiva - 7 / 10
Darksiders III es un juego de luces y sombras que cuenta con tantos aciertos como fallos, lo que le impide llegar más lejos y estar a la altura de sus predecesores. A pesar de ello, su peculiar mezcla de acción, puzles y plataformas sigue funcionando muy bien, resultando en una aventura sorprendentemente entretenida que consigue sobreponerse a sus defectos para hacernos pasar un buen rato sin mayores pretensiones. Si te gustaron las anteriores entregas, especialmente la original, y te agrada lo que propone, probablemente lo disfrutarás sin mucho esfuerzo. Simplemente no le pidas demasiado.
Meristation - Laura Luna - 6,5 / 10
Darksiders III llega tras una larga esperada, que ha puesto muchas expectativas sobre la nueva entrega del hack and slash de los Jinetes del Apocalipsis. El sistema de juego vuelve a los orígenes de la saga, desprendiéndose del coqueteo con el RPG que presentó Darksiders III. Furia se embarca en la búsqueda y captura de los Siete Pecados Capitales a lo largo de un periplo llenos de altibajos tanto narrativos como de diseño de mazmorras. El sistema de combate no explora las posibilidades de un hack and slash que invitarían a un jugador a intercalar combos y armas, y sus mecánicas se centran en golpear, esquivar y contraatacar. Algunos de los jefes finales presentan un diseño pobre, mientras que el de otros es memorable y sorprendente. En cuanto a las mazmorras, varias de ellas se hacen repetitivas mientras que otras aportan frescura a la ambientación. Con sus carencias, no deja de ser un título entretenido, en el que el sabor de sus puntos álgidos compensa otros aspectos mejorables.
Hobby Consolas - Martín Amechazurra Falagán - 85 / 100
Darksiders 3 regresa al terreno de la acción más pura como una aventura Hack and Slash con unos combates tan entretenidos como desafiantes a los mandos de Furia, y con unos entornos de lo más variados repletos de puzles y peligros, aunque peca de cierta linealidad en su desarrollo.
Areajugones - Ronald Goncalves - 9 / 10.0
Había escepticismo, y era de comprender: las condiciones no estaban dadas. El quiebre de Vigil, la bancarrota de THQ, el mal desempeño en ventas de Darksiders II, el auge de los multijugadores… Que este tercer ejemplar hoy sea una realidad es tan increíble como el cariño que sus autores le tienen a su creación, un hito que roza la fantasía y el coqueteo con el destino más inesperado. Aun así, lo único cierto que podemos afirmar es que el juego está entre nosotros y, teniendo en cuenta el público tras la saga, hay motivos para sentir regocijo, en especial porque ha regresado por la puerta grande.

It doesn’t become great, but there are flashes of brilliance and promise.
Critical Hit - Darryn Bonthuys - 6 / 10.0
Beneath the mountain of bugs, shoddy design and inconsistent performance, there's a genuinely good adventure waiting to be experienced in Darksiders III. Unfortunately, its numerous problems are more than just annoying in nature. They're quite simply…apocalyptic.
Daily Mirror - JC Suttun - 3 / 5 stars
Darksiders 3 is for the most part a fun and well made adventure that you'll want to see through to the end. But while the different approach to combat is indeed an attempt to push the series somewhere new, in the end it leaves the whole experience feeling slightly off-balance, coming across like a watered down Dark Souls in spots when it should have had enough personality in its own right.
Destructoid - Chris Carter - 8 / 10.0
Most of my complaints are related to the RPG bits which are not the main focus of Darksiders III. It remains an action-fueled project and that's an angle it does well, reigning in some of the out-of-hand ideas from its predecessor. With all of the efforts to resurrect this once dead and buried series I hope there's a chance to wrap it all up with Strife: I want to see this story through until the end, blemishes and all.
Digitally Downloaded - Matt Sainsbury - 4 / 5 stars
Darksiders III is a fine return for a series that fans were hoping against hope to see again.
Eurogamer - Malindy Hetfeld - No Recommendation
Darksiders' schlocky action makes a welcome return, though it's not enough to shake the feeling you've played this before - and better.
Gadgets 360 - Rishi Alwani - 9 / 10
All in all, Darksiders 3 is a stunning return to a franchise that we'd love to see more of. The stellar game world, intriguing story, and slick gameplay make it one worth checking out even if you're not a fan of the series. It's a surprise Darksiders 3 exists. And a welcome one at that.
Game Informer - Kyle Hilliard - 8 / 10.0
What Darksiders III lacks in production values, it makes up for with good design. The smaller, personal elements of the story are interesting, but the larger picture is confusing
Game Revolution - Michael Leri - 2 / 5 stars
For a game all about destroying the manifestations of sin, Darksiders 3 is guilty of a lot of them.
GameMAG - Unknown - Russian - 7 / 10
Darksiders III is a "hello from the past" with an interesting story, controversial design decisions, challenging and not always obvious puzzles, and a clearly limited budget. Blurry graphics and optimization problems spoil the impression, but if you'll stay with the game for a first few hours of gameplay, then Darksiders 3 will offer you a cool character, epic battles with beautiful bosses, good puzzles and a deep world exploration. In this case, the game will still be able to keep your attention until the very end.
Gamerheadquarters - Jason Stettner - 8 / 10.0
Darksiders 3 is a solid next entry in the series with Fury being a strong lead providing charm and rage fueled will.
Gamersky - 亚恩 - 8.2 / 10.0
Darksiders 3 makes a great progress in terms of combat and story. If you are keen on action games, it might be the best appetizer before Devil May Cry 5 and Sekiro.
GameSpot - Richard Wakeling - 4 / 10
Darksiders return is marred by bland environments and an unfocused design that can't help but frustrate and underwhelm.
GamesRadar+ - Sam Prell - 3.5 / 5 stars
Darksiders 3 feels like coming home for fans, and combat is a blast - but it can be hard to appreciate the good when dealing with a laundry list of technical stumbles.
GamingBolt - Will Borger - 8 / 10.0
DarkSiders III marries the best parts of DarkSiders will new mechanics, a fun world to explore, enjoyable characters and story, and an engaging combat system.
God is a Geek - Gary Bailey - 9 / 10.0
Darksiders III is a stunning achievement, bringing the once-dead series back to life with aplomb.
IGN - Daemon Hatfield - 7 / 10.0
Darksiders III is a straightforward action game that isn't afraid to throw some serious old-school challenges at you.
Merlin'in Kazanı - Korhan Onuk - Turkish - 74 / 100
Darksiders 3 is more difficult than previous games. Terrible checkpoint system and long loading times makes game troublesome. But soundtracks, combat system and bosses are great. You should give it a try.
Niche Gamer - Sophia Narwitz - 9 / 10.0
There are a few qualms here and there, like its technical issues, and at the end of the day I wish it offered more enemy variety, but even when considering those problems, the game is a blast.
PC Invasion - Andrew Farrell - 3.5 / 5 stars
Darksiders III is a very good game marred by some severe issues. Still, I loved it. I only hope Gunfire Games addresses its issues.
PlayStation Universe - Garri Bagdasarov - 7.5 / 10.0
Darksiders 3 does a lot right but suffers from some technical issues that hold it back from greatness. Nevertheless, the fantastic exploration, great character designs, fun combat, and excellent writing help it outshine some of its faults. Fans will definitely find that Gunfire Games have done a great job keeping the essence of the franchise alive.
Polygon - Ryan Gilliam - No Verdict
Darksiders 3 is a nostalgic trip, reminding me of games I loved when I was younger. It never does anything spectacular, nor does it offer many new ideas. Instead, it exists as an earnest reminder of how games played eight years ago, and that’s enough for me.
Press Start - James Mitchell - 7 / 10
Darksiders III is the follow-up that fans have been waiting for, no doubt, but this is both its greatest strength and weakness. On one hand, it feels just like the previous two games albeit with a much better combat system and some fantastic encounters. On the other, much like Darksiders II, it's trying too many things at once and comes off as having an identity crisis. Without a doubt, though, Darksiders III is easily better than Darksiders II, and that's worth celebrating.
Push Square - Ken Talbot - 6 / 10
Darksiders hasn't changed much since 2012. It's still a fun mishmash of genres with a great protagonist and undemanding combat systems, but it's a pity that it feels outdated compared to its genre peers and stumbles when injecting Souls-like sensibilities.
Rock, Paper, Shotgun - R0B0D4D - No Verdict
Darksiders III, you’re my best mate. Darksiders III, I never want to see your face again. No, wait, come back…
RPG Site - Bryan Vitale - 7 / 10
Darksiders III falls short of the games it's imitating, but it is still an engaging experience in its own right.
Shacknews - Larryn Bell - 8 / 10
Darksiders 3 is recognizably a Darksiders game.
Softpedia - Andrei Dobra - 7.5 / 10.0
The performance issues on the PS4 and the iffy platforming make the game fall short of reaching the same status as its past entries. All these things may be fixed with future updates but, at least for now, the title can only be recommended to hardcore fans and those looking for a challenge.
Spaziogames - Valthiel - Italian - 8.5 / 10.0
Darksiders 3 is the best entry in the series. This new chapter has a solid game structure and represents all the best that you can expect from a modern action-adventure game.
Stevivor - Steve Wright - 5 / 10.0
At the end of the day, Darksiders 3 is four years too late and four years behind current game design.
TechRaptor - Dan Hodges - 7 / 10.0
Darksiders 3 makes up its lack of depth in satisfying combat and memorable boss fights, making for a solid third entry in the series.
The Games Machine - Danilo Dellafrana - Italian - 8.7 / 10.0
Darksiders III is a nice game, as well as a perfect sequel to a series that seemed lost in the maelstrom generated by THQ's bankruptcy. Fury might not have the charisma of the previous knigtht, War and Death, but overall the adventure boasts a very good pace, alternating discreetly challenging fights and satisfying puzzles. Definitely recommended.
TheSixthAxis - Thomas Hughes - 7 / 10
Darksiders III, while more limited in scope than its predecessor, provides a tighter, more deliberate experience that elaborates on the lore we've seen so far. The smaller world of Darksiders 3 may disappoint some fans of the previous game, but this feels like a reboot of the series. Poor PC performance, a lack of side-objectives and some unimaginative world-design point to a game with ambitions bigger than its budget, but Darksiders II is a fun and challenging experience that kept me engaged across the length of its story.
VGProfessional - Mazen Abdallah - 8.3 / 10.0
Darksiders III is a great hack-and-slash action title that feels a bit dated but still manages to offer a well-crafted experience. It’s not the best title in the series, but it gets serious points for its polish and its focus.
VideoGamer - Colm Ahern - 5 / 10
When combat is between you and one other, Darksiders 3 can provide some decent, button-mashy fun, but the real fight is with the baffling world design and some cheap deaths.
WellPlayed - Ash Wayling - 7 / 10.0
Darksiders III does feel like a game that wished it was released many years ago, with a slew of older-style design elements that sit alongside more modern attitudes towards combat and story
Windows Central - Brendan Lowry - 4 / 5 stars
Despite the issues that drag down Darksiders III, it's still an excellent hack-and-slash action RPG that is more than worth the purchase.
Worth Playing - Cody Medellin - 7 / 10.0
There is no doubt that Darksiders III is a flawed product, but series fans who are accepting of the changes will find it to be a good entry in the series. The camera is a source of constant frustration since it causes a number of issues where you get sucker-punched in combat while you're still relatively weak. With that said, the combat becomes enjoyable once you come to grips with the Dark Souls-style system and the more open level design takes the sting out of having to fight through closed spaces for most of the game. One has to wonder how different the possible fourth game could be.
