Fury explores an interconnected open world that expands as she takes down the Sins, respawns at fixed, infrequent checkpoints with her potions refilled when she dies, and can recover her souls from her previous bodies, but in keeping with the established pattern, the Darksiders version of the games it emulates is always a brightly-colored, hollow, plastic Fisher-Price version of it. Wrath is characterized, with staggering obviousness, as a big, angry, violent bloke competition for the title must've been fucking stiff.ĭarksiders continues to reinvent itself from game to game well, reinvent the part that follows the "but" in the phrase "like God of War, but." So Darksiders I was "like God of War, but Zelda", #2 was "like God of War, but Diablo", and now #3 is "like God of War, but Dark Souls", not that we're chasing trends or anything.

I was hoping for some kind of twist along the lines of Fury spending half the game trying to track down Wrath, only to realize, "Hang on, that's me, isn't it?"

One of the root causes of Fury being furious is how she thinks everyone underestimates her, but you know what might help that, Fury, love, is not showing up to every battle in stiletto heels.Īfter Darksiders I and II, a lot of questions still remain surrounding the ongoing story, chief among them being "How the fuck do you expect me to remember this plot?!" The first game was eight years ago I can barely remember what I was doing last night, or why I woke up this morning in a half-empty vat of Frangelico. Why is that, Darksiders? Because she's really angry and violent all the time? Surely, that makes her the most predictable of the Four Horsemen, Darksiders, or, at least, fully consistent with the previous two? Oh, I see it's because she's the girl, isn't it? War and Death and the other bugger can slap angels and demons around with surfboards on the ends of sticks, and that's just boys being boys, but you pick on Fury for doing it because she's supposed to be making packed lunches and ironing everyone's pauldrons. Apocalypse, and apparently, the least predictable of the Four Horsemen. We return once again to THQ's ongoing reinterpretation of Judeo-Christian mythology as dramatized with poorly-painted Warhammer 40K miniatures, centrally featuring the Horsemen of the Apocalypse, except with Famine and Pestilence dropped out in favor of two others that wouldn't look quite so off-putting on a box art, Fury and Strife, there apparently being no overlap between the remits of those two and War presumably, war in this universe is only ever waged very dispassionately for extremely sensible reasons.įury is the sole daughter of Mr. Now let's see some games.This week, Yahtzee reviews Darksiders III.
