That's the real issue with Darksiders III. To take a quick shot of a recent conversation with our very own Alessio.
#DARKSIDERS 3 ABRAXAS TRIAL#
Then I realised that no, I wasn't - I eventually solved these puzzles - but it was pretty much always through trial and error as the game offers little or no guidance. When I say that I've genuinely found myself getting frustrated and often thinking I must have been getting a little stupid thanks to games often hand-holding.
Finally, the stasis hollow lets you freeze objects in motion, walk on water or hold onto very specific surfaces.Įach and every one of these hollows will be essential in solving some of the games more obfuscating of puzzles. The Flame hollow allows you to jump considerably higher as you propel yourself like the human torch. Instead, maybe you want to use the force hollow to smash open blocked areas, walk on the bottom of a lake or turn into a ball that sticks to magnetic surfaces. Maybe you're using the Storm Hollow, which lets you float and use wind currents to carry you further than you expected. These paths from the hub all seem to have at least two ways of traversing them. You'll also find yourself visiting older areas once you've unlocked later powers. Or at least to an extent, because the linearity doesn't seem to apply to the order in which you kill the seven deadly sins. Each of these four hollows has a special ability that inevitably prevents you from accessing an area. One of the ways that Darksiders III: manages your progress is through the hollows you receive. You'll also be able to unlock gates and passages, which cuts out a lot of backtracking. If you see something on the horizon, you're probably going to find yourself there soon. What I like is the seeming lack of window dressing.
As you reach other areas, activating checkpoints and serpent gates (the in-game transport network) as you go. What you'll find yourself doing is going down a path that may seem like it diverts a lot, but is mostly linear with a few exploratory offshoots that let you pick up a few items.
#DARKSIDERS 3 ABRAXAS UPGRADE#
The world here is all connected around a single area called Haven - this also has the single friendly area in the game where you are able to upgrade your weapons and enchantments, more on those later. This isn't so much the case of the world being interconnected to itself at multiple parts, more that each area is connected to a single hub, with maybe a few connections between areas, though I haven't honestly found many.
Interconnectivity is a word that I wanted to use just for the sake of using it but also one that I originally thought I'd be using to describe the world of Darksiders III. I'll continue making some of these links but I'm going to be a little more exact, it's not so much borrowed from Dark Souls than Demon's Souls. In my preview, I made a few comparisons to Dark Souls.
