    Favorite game of all time. Incredibly consistent quality. 99% of all encounters in the world or when crossing the fog into a boss room feel absolutely amazing and well thought out. On top of that you have absolutely amazing build variety, replayability, combat, story, fashion and much more. Absolute must play for anyone that can bear the struggle

    This game is the worst thing ever created. It made me rage quit more than 10 times because of tryhard kids building the eiffel tower every time i shoot them, at least the developers finally added Construction Zero.

    Поиграл всего 10 минут. Управление мне показывают геймпадное и приходится догадываться, какая это клавиша на клаве. Персонаж медлительный, долго реагирует. Первый же босс уже непроходимый.

    Completely pointless and boring boss simulator. Very obvious Resident Evil 4 rip-off in terms of cool, huge boss monsters, but it doesn't have fun atmosphere, story or good characters like RE4. Also it's pointlessly difficult to the point where you die over 70 times on one boss and you have to play same section of the game over and over again. This is not what i call fun.

    Дырка соски 3 или как нам продают одну и ту же игру в 4 раз
    Знаете, игровая индустрия меняется:
    - появляются новые технологии, новые механики; - изменяется жанр в серии какой-нибудь игры, например postal был изометрическим шутером, а стал шутером от 1 лица с открытым миром, с черным юмором и т.д. Разработчики учитывают ошибки с прошлых частей серии, как было например с zombie army. НО    Дырка соски 3 или как нам продают одну и ту же игру в 4 раз
    Знаете, игровая индустрия меняется:
    - появляются новые технологии, новые механики;
    - изменяется жанр в серии какой-нибудь игры, например postal был изометрическим шутером, а стал шутером от 1 лица с открытым миром, с черным юмором и т.д. Разработчики учитывают ошибки с прошлых частей серии, как было например с zombie army.
    НО ВСЁ ЭТО НЕ ОТНОСИТСЯ К DARK SOULS™ III, а спросите почему?

    Всё тот же геймплей с минимум изменений. Враги всё также умирают статично, а когда падают, у них включается рэгдолл. Боссы и мобы всё также ударяют сквозь стены и столбы. Всё такое же лаганое пвп, когда ударяешь врага, слышится даже звук, что ты его ударил, но урон cyka не засчитался. Некоторые летающие твари также вылетают за карту и умирают там(хотя это маленький плюс). Всё те же подсказки с кнопками от xbox, а не от клавиатуры. В игре нет steam cloud судя по отзывам. Представляете в игре нет steam cloud, так и еще нет иконок кнопок для клавиатуры. А самое главное - эти узкоглазые твари-унтерменши продают этот вонючий кaл за 2000 РУБЛЕЙ!!!
    Из нового только то, что некоторые мобы дерутся друг с другом, у всех боссов появляется 2 стадия, а самое главное - кровь наконец-то остается на земле, а то в прошлых частях этого даже не было!!!
    Также хочется сказать про пвп и античит. Почему Я обычный игрок должен дополнительно устанавливать пользовательский античит, так как в игре уже есть античит, но хреновый. Почему я должен надеяться, что ко мне не зайдет конченный опущенный пидopac с читами и не наспамит мне с другом в инвентарь мечей Повелителей бурь +20, которые нельзя удалить. Почему в игре нельзя отключить пвп, чтобы нормально пройти с другом игру, без присоединяющихся к нам красных yeбkoв.

    Подведем итог:
    DARK SOULS™ III - игра в которой ничего кардинально не изменилось и ничего нового не добавилось.
    DARK SOULS™ III - это слитые 509 рублей в унитаз за делюкс версию.
    DARK SOULS™ III - это игра, с которой не нужно брать пример другим разработчикам.
    DARK SOULS™ III - это когда ты рад, что наконец-то удалил со своего ПК эту пapaшу.
    DARK SOULS™ III - это мусор, который не стоит вашего внимания.

    Спасибо за внимание, я думаю вы это учтете.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Actully my brother plays this game and i m playing because of him. I play sekiro and i love the combat but dark souls is boring, slow , washed out envirenment and the worse is boss design. In the game there is a boss like a tree that you hv to smash its bolls ,it grabs me several times and i dont know how to evoid it it just grabs from nowhere without any signs. Another boss was kind a dog that you hv to go under it when you is under its belly you cant see ur self and gets hit from somwhere that i do not recognize it .if i was i tottaly desagree with the 8.9 point of rewivs for me sekiro feels Like a real fight but dark souls is hide and seek. Sorry for english .

    Beyond lazy port. Full listing of keyboard/mouse controls are not even provided. Tooltips can't be changed from controller to keyboard.

    The worst console port I've ever seen

    - Clunky controls and combat. Controls on a keyboard don't even work half the time
    - Terrible graphics
    - Bad UI which is also broken, It shows you controller icons when using a keyboard and mouse, why? Lazy programming.

    I hated this game. Too difficult...I don't care. The Witcher 3 is good, this game is trash. Sorry I don't have a PhD in gaming. Graphics are amazing, environment is great, love the dark theme, but it is unplayable to an average (excel in first person shooters, but play the occasional RPG) player like myself. Just tone down the difficulty guys, some of us have girlfriends.

    So, no poise, dead pvp.
    A lot of copy-past, even dark souls 2 was better.
    And lastly, no humanity, you can't do fair heal fights in dark souls 3.
    Dark Souls 1 so much better.

    This game is unplayable on my PC, constant stuttering. I went through 100s of fixes that were suppose to fix, none of them work. I have a high end PC so it's Bandai Namco Games that refuses to fix their broken game, huge disappointment.

    Despite an inconsistent frame rate once again hindering the console versions, Dark Souls III is still an undeniable success. Before playing, we felt ready to say goodbye to the series, looking forward to whatever From Software gave us next. Yet after finishing, it's hard not wanting more. Few companies can craft a world so completely enthralling. Whether you've played every entry, started with Bloodborne, or are brand new, this is a game you should absolutely make time for.

    Everything about Dark Souls III is great, but it fails to push the series forward. Bloodborne and both previous Souls squash it in terms of ambition. DkS3 is like a compilation album by your favorite band – you enjoy listening to it because you love these songs despite having heard them so many times before, but there’s no room for even a tiniest surprise.

    It seems that From Software has finally realized that bad game design decisions were a poor addition to an already uncompromising game, and fixed them, while keeping the same level of ruthlessness.
