10 Worst Video Game Boss Battles Of 2018

The long-awaited return of the Darksiders series hasn’t exactly gone the way fans expected. The title is a departure from the other two games in that, rather than taking heavy inspiration from Nintendo’s The Legend of Zelda games, it unabashedly apes the Dark Souls gameplay loop.

Though that isn’t inherently a bad thing, Darksiders III doesn’t offer the same bleak charm as the aforementioned RPG, and the boss fights are nowhere near as memorable. There are sixteen boss encounters in total, though some aren’t mandatory.

Unlike Dark Souls, most of the game’s bosses are humanoid figures around the same size as the player character. With most of the intimidation factor already gone, Lust was, in particular, really underwhelming.

Visually bland and unnecessarily wordy, she offers an uninspired fight which can at best be unfavorably compared to Dark Souls’ infamous Ornstein And Smough fight once Archangel Usiel joins the fray.

Contained entirely in a tiny arena and beaten in all of five minutes, this encounter could have been so much more interesting. Lust may be a relatively early boss, but that doesn’t mean she has to be a complete pushover.
