More about Darksiders III

Steam's global achievement data puts 33 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. The median game this site can measure sits at 18. Players rate it 76 percent positive over its lifetime, but the last 30 days run 67 percent. Something recent has soured the room. 5 of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written October 2025 to October 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 38 percent of the 1,082 reviews written there were positive, against 76 percent overall, and those are 9 percent of everything written about it. It sells extras on top of the sticker price (time-limited); the score docks it lightly for that.

Finishing takes 14.2 hours; clearing it takes 32, which is 2.2 times the campaign.

What players say

Excelente juego la verdad. Quizá la historia no está al nivel del 1, pero honestamente ningún Darksiders lo está, sin embargo, el gameplay sigue siendo excelente, muy buenos puzzles, excelente diálogos como todos los Darksiders, una historia con buena moraleja, y muy buen desarrollo de personaje. Esta entrega definitivamente profundiza más la trama principal que lo que hizo Darksiders 2. Hasta ahora para mi, la cosa...

I really enjoyed playing this game. The combat and exploring the world are my two favorite aspects of the game.

Storyline was terrific. I really enjoyed following along on Fury's path. Art direction is always terrific. This feels like a downgrade from the previous opern world versions. I'm a big fan of the series, but was hesitant once I read reviews... so held off for a sale. Glad I did. Feels like they cut corners to make a standard platformer and fill the gap in the series.
