5/18/2023 0 Comments Darksiders 3 leveling![]() This is another thing that benefits from not having a map. It’s also a very vertical world, with lots of out-of-sight areas hiding loot (and ambushes) waiting for those who can spot them, and figure out how to reach them. It’s not usually easy to judge whether you’re headed in the intended direction or meandering off the beaten path, but that could just be the area the build started in. The game world is surprisingly open, and the absence of a map made exploring every pathway exciting. ![]() The metroidvania influences of the original games do return here, but they're manifested in different ways. In the demo, certain obstacles needed to be burned off with a flame attack, and purple fungus-covered walls could only be demolished with a Force heavy attack. If you already guessed these powers can also be used to unlock previously inaccessible areas in the game’s world, you’d be correct. Judging by the menu's layout, it appears Darksiders 3 will have four Hollows. One imbues Fury’s whip with flame, while the other with a type of magic called Force. These are subclasses that each offer a different elemental effect and unique attacks. The preview build starts off partway through the story, with Fury, the game’s protagonist, having already acquired two Hollows. Needless to say, I was anxious to start playing to see for myself what a modern Darksiders can be. On the other, a sequel to Darksiders represents an interesting challenge for all involved a chance to start something fresh or improve on an existing formula. On one hand, you could argue that the series no longer has the brand pull it once did, which potentially means this is an unnecessary sequel. The timing of Darksiders 3 couldn't have been stranger. Having now played it, I am not convinced that was the right direction to take the sequel. Darksiders 3 ditches the flashy, arcady combat of its predecessors for a more methodical approach.
