This is much better than Darksiders 3, and much closer to a real Darksiders.
Don't be fooled by the camera angles and distance, this is not Diablo. Still is a hack & slash with puzzles, platforming and exploration.
This change of perspective serves for the co-op and also because to allow Strife to aim and shoot pretty quickly. Also I remember that people complained that in Darksiders 1 & 2 the camera was so close that it was inconvenient for the combat due to not seeing clearly the surroundings, now that inconvenient is gone.
The downside is that this perspective makes the platforming pretty clunky.
