If you've never played or heard about it before, you play as Kay, a hot-headed young cat who must master the power of the sword, the hammer and the claws across 25 Eastern-styled levels. It's very PS2 in terms of gameplay, but so we're looking forward to seeing how well it performs on Switch.

Could Darksiders 3 come to the Switch? Considering how much effort they put into porting Darksiders 1 for Wii U (despite the fish already being beaten dead and buried), that makes Darksiders 3 plausible. I found it to be on the high end of mediocre.
