My memory of Darksiders 3 is a little foggy because I tried to block as much of it out of my mind as possible. It was a mind numbing experience largely due to the fact that I attempted to power through it as quickly as possible. This was exhausting for several reasons, but in retrospect, the main reason was probably because, more so than just about any other game I've played, it is a complete and total husk of itself. It doesn't have a single shred of personality, yet it attempts to make up for this by wearing the sodden skin of its inspirations like a cheaply made Halloween costume. Darksiders 3 attempts to combine the body of a Souls game with the voice of Darksiders, yet more often than not, it fails to realise either one of those ambitions.
