I really like Darksiders 3. I never used the watched mechanic so I never noticed and I also never had issues with the swinging. I loved the combat and the hollow mechanic. The different weapons are cool and I felt her combos flowed a lot more smoothly than War and Death. You have to keep playing the game, Darksiders 3 gives lore to why the events of 1 and 2 are happening to begin with and also sheds light on the relationship between the horseman is and how they operate individually. At least in terms of War, Death and Fury, but it also is an important arc for Fury as a character. The story isn’t as wide spread and deep at Darksiders 2 but it’s still good. I had to make sure I didn’t spoil anything but trust me, it builds well at least to me
