The game suffers from terrible frame drops and graphical issues. While that's a good thing for many people, others are calling it a Dark Souls ripoff.Ĭritics at least agree on one thing and that's performance issues. Its core portfolio comprises of products and brands acquired from JoWooD Entertainment, DreamCatcher Interactive, and THQ, making it the current owner of the Darksiders Series. Darksiders 3 took a different approach to combat which is now more challenging and Souls-like. THQ Nordic GmbH (formerly Nordic Games GmbH) is an Austrian video game publisher that was founded in 2011. The scores are not that bad and it's exactly as Wingefors said, there are many critics that love the new gameplay changes and also a lot of those who dislike it. If we stick to our promise and deliver a product that the fans really enjoy, I think we’ll be fine", Wingefors concluded. "There are always a few people not enjoying this kind of product, but there are also people really enjoying it. Return to an apocalyptic Earth in Darksiders III, a hack-n-slash Action Adventure where players assume the role of FURY. He continued by saying that while there will be people who won't like it, most fans will still enjoy the game. This made THQ Nordic CEO Lars Wingefors respond to reception and he firmly stood his ground and supported the developer team and publisher. "I'm really proud of what we've been able to show you, I think Gunfire has made an excellent game, and even my publishing team in Vienna has been working really hard to execute on this," Wingefors praised the studios. User scores are more generous with favourable reviews and 7.2 score but the general consensus is that everyone expected more from the latest iteration in Darksiders series. The current Metacritic score stands at 66 which is an average based on 38 critics. The publisher also said it has 55 titles in development, although only 20 have been announced.Darksiders 3 is off to a shaky start with mostly mixed critic reviews. In THQ Nordic's latest financial results, the publisher reported revenues had risen 1,403% year-on-year in the last quarter to $139.5 million - thanks in no small part to its acquisition of Koch Media and Deep Silver earlier this year. "Out of the more than 100 IPs we own, you shouldn't expect sequels from all of them because not all IPs are relevant any more." Fury will move back and forth between environments. "It only took five years from acquisition to actually bringing out a sequel. THQ Nordic said the expansive, Darksiders III game world will be an open-ended Earth that is dilapidated by war and decay, and overrun by nature. "With Darksiders, we have been fairly quick," he says. The CEO praised his team for producing a new Darksiders in a timely manner, although was keen to rein in expectations that THQ Nordic will regularly pump out new titles from these past franchises. So far, most releases from the plethora of IP Wingefors' firm has acquired over the years have been remasters or re-releases, such as this year's Red Faction and Titan Quest outings. It's the first time the publisher has produced a new entry in a franchise from the previous incarnation of THQ. "ĭarksiders III is a significant release for THQ Nordic. If we stick to our promise and deliver a product that the fans really enjoy, I think we'll be. A lot of people have spent a lot of time over the past few months to make this happen."Īddressing the reviews, he continued: "There are always a few people not enjoying this kind of product, but there are also people really enjoying it. "Everything around publishing the Apocalypse Edition has been a logistics challenge. "I'm really proud of what we've been able to show you, I think Gunfire has made an excellent game, and even my publishing team in Vienna has been working really hard to execute on this - all the marketing, all the behind-the-scenes things. "The promise we made was to deliver a game to the fans of the franchise, and I'm really proud of it," he tells. These scores are by no means bad, but in a quarter where any release is competing with Red Dead Redemption II, Call of Duty: Black Ops 4, Battlefield V, Assassin's Creed Odyssey and aggressive discounting from retailers, any publisher would no doubt hope for better from their biggest holiday release.īut THQ Nordic CEO Lars Wingefors remains pleased with the final product, and believes it is a testament to how the publisher is honouring its forebear's legacy. The PlayStation 4 version seems to have divided critics the most, attaining an average score of 66.
