![]() The first game followed War, the second followed Death, and this third entry follows Fury, sister to War and Death and the most unpredictable and impatient of the four. Each of these games revolve around playing as one of the four horsemen of the apocalypse. The first thing I’ll talk a bit about is the story of the game. However, one of my issues with the game years ago was that it had technical issues and sadly those are made even worse in the Switch version.ĭarksiders III is still very much a Darksiders game but this new entry has taken some inspiration from some different titles this time out. That’s because the team has finally delivered the third entry onto the Nintendo Switch making it now possible to play the entire franchise on Nintendo’s portable console. I reviewed Darksiders III on the PlayStation 4 back when it first released back towards the end of 2018 and now, I’m revisiting it again. That is until it was handed to a new team and we got Darksiders III and Darksiders: Genesis. These games are criminally overlooked in my opinion and for a long time I thought the franchise was dead. Overall, it’s likely better to grab this one elsewhere.Ī digital review copy of the game was provided by the publisher for the purposes of this review.One of my favorite franchises over the last decade is Darksiders from THQ Nordic and Gunfire Games. Darksiders 3 is available now for Switch. If you’re disappointed in this review’s outcome, then be sure to check out a really great THQ Nordic port, Destroy All Humans Remastered for Nintendo Switch. Unfortunately, this release isn’t the same as past ports they’ve released. THQ Nordic is one of my favorite publishers for games like this. This experience is just too frustrating to put up with for long periods of time. If your only console is a Switch, then play another action-adventure game. The base game is good, I just can’t recommend people play this on Switch. I review games on a scale of 1-10 Darksiders 3 for Nintendo Switch is a 4. The issue here is that it almost feels like technical issues run so rampant that there wasn’t enough time for adequate bug fixing ahead of launch. It’s a port sometimes games run poorly on consoles for which they weren’t developed. Yes, it’s true that Darksiders 3 wasn’t developed for the Switch. Here’s the thing though: I can’t blame the Switch solely for this one. On Xbox One, I had a lot more fun with this title thanks to better hardware. The actual game itself is a solid release in the hell-themed franchise. I’m pretty lenient on that stuff if I’m having fun. Overall, frame rate issues plague the game to a level I can’t ignore at times. That said, the issue here is really performance. Overall, the $40 price tag is fair for a dated game and DLC. The Switch version includes 2 DLCs: The Crucible and Keepers of the Void. Your goal is to hunt down the Seven Deadly Sins in hack-and-slash combat and puzzle-solving. In Darksiders 3, you play as Fury, one of the Four Horsemen. Cut scenes that kickstart the game look promising, but then when you’re in control, problems emerge. Unfortunately, the port is pretty sloppy and frustrating to play. Released back in 2018, the Switch version is something I had high hopes for. Should You Buy Darksiders 3 for the Nintendo Switch? Here’s our quick review for the Darksiders 3 port to the Nintendo Switch. In this case, however, you can’t argue that a pretty average game plays worse than it really should on a console that can handle other action-adventure titles more efficiently. Unfortunately, Darksiders 3 is a game that falls victim to the Switch’s lesser hardware. It’s a pickle that many games find themselves in when they decide to port a release to the Switch. The Switch can’t pull resolutions or frame rates that a PS4 Pro or Xbox One X can, let alone next-gen consoles. If a game comes over to the Switch, then it’s often lauded for its lesser-than quality. That’s a little bit obvious, but here’s the thing. Nintendo Switch owners want games on their console of choice.
