Darksiders 3

Some games I just need to grab the gameplay footage and mix the music as quickly as I can. Possible deadlines include: an upcoming DJ gig, a hoilday or special event, or that it's free to download on Playstation Plus until the end of the month.

I appreicate the stratospheric soundtrack by Cris Velasco, who also composed Bloodborne and God of War. The selection of musical pieces depict a vast landscape filled with a variety of poisonous creatures. It would had been cool to push further, but after 20 minutes of throwing fire beetles at spider webs, I wasn't sure if this was gonna be an action-adventure or environmental puzzle experience.

Darksiders 3 didn't hold my attention. That doesn't mean I hate it or that it's a bad game, but I probably would have made it further if it weren't for the constant freeze-framing that occurs when you've unlocked something new, the laughable stoppages between loading areas, and the repetitive combat. Getting stuck in the scaffolding didn't help either.
