An 8GB memory requirement is modest by current standards; most machines sold in the last five years clear it. Install size is roughly 25GB. Both tiers are compared side by side on the requirements page, and you can check your own parts against them without installing anything.
What it launched against
Darksiders III launched on 27 November 2018, within three weeks of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Gris, Battlefield V and Hitman 2. All of them reviewed better. It arrived 5 years into the PlayStation 4's life, so it was built for hardware developers already knew well.
Released around the same time: Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Gris, Battlefield V, Hitman 2.
