May 20, 2023Ultimate dark souls. I played for hours, hours. The hitting feel is so good...
-
Mar 12, 2021The boss fights in this game are magnificent and so too is the soundtrack. The combat is faster paced than Ds1 and Ds2 and it works well.
The environments however are hit and miss and the linearity of the game can be offputting at times. It unfortunately stops this game from getting a higher score.
It is also worth getting the Dlc's as well, but be aware they are very hard. -

Nov 18, 2020This game is everything a dark souls game should have. Good bosses, amazing soundtracks, annoying hitboxes, and addicting gameplay.
-
May 13, 2023This is my first experience with the franchise and after a few hours of suffering, I managed to understand the mechanics. 10/10

Dec 29, 2020Praise the sun! Long may the Sunshine! If this game is not that difficult for the beginners, the sales will increase more. The background of the story is epic and interesting, the combat is great...just too hard for beginner. I took almost 70 hours to unlock every achievement, this is a really good game, not gonna lie. I am waiting for the Elder Ring!

Nov 27, 2020SON TODOS UNOS LLORONES LOS QUE le dan negativo amigo si queres tener un juego con buena creacion de personajes, juga a las muñecas o a los sims, pero no uno de lucha progres de mierda

Jan 31, 2021**Recommend ระบบ Game Play สนุกเหี้ยๆ!
ข้อเสีย- ***เนื้อเรื่องน่าเปิดเป็นนิทานกล่อมนอน (ธรรมดามากๆ) -
Apr 4, 2022I never played a Souls game due to the people i knew saying these games are too hard. I gave this game a try and it was hard but not impossible as i told. through trail and error i pushed though and beat this game. Gameplay can feel kind of clunky but i feel like its by design. Story is Very good and the visuals hold up 6 years later. I Highly recommend this game.

Dec 9, 2020Best bosses, best soundtracks,best NPC's,best world...Best game in the world

Dec 11, 2020This game is a masterpiece. I'd recommend it, but I will say its hard, like it can be discouraging at times. Spent a few hours on this game, I like it. Maybe you will as well!
-
Dec 21, 2020Mi Souls favorito hasta la fecha y el unico juego del que estiy intentando sacarme el platino.
-
Dec 25, 2020Il migliore della saga, spero per ora. Gameplay fluido, difficile e stimolante, pvp condito al LAG ma divertente. Un'esperienza ottima.
-
Dec 29, 2020Legendary Status of Git Gud. (Not the game may appear to promote sado masochism, but don't worry, sometimes it is just a matter of deep breathing and enjoyment of friendly invaders company)

Jan 9, 2022Это часть Darksouls, взяла все лучшее (почти) из других частей. Для меня это игра остается лучшей игрой в серии. Хотя самой любимой является первая часть. Прошел вместе с DLC. Они тоже норм, как добавка к основной игре.
-
Jan 7, 2021I promised myself to don't play it anymore. I got 1000 hours in this stupid game, HOW. Now Im waiting to new game in 2021

Feb 1, 2021Yes, it is not such a phenomenon as the first one, and, seriously, it can't stand to that masterpiece.
But still this game just absorbed everything great about Demon Souls, Dark Souls 1&2, Bloodbourne and there is nothing wrong with it, because it's a quintessence of Hidetaka Miyazaki's ingenious creativity.
The stortelling, characters, foes, gameplay, f*cking legendary atm -

Mar 1, 2021DS3 is a pretty great game but it's worse than ds2.
Here's why:
-less bosses
-pvp is worse
-rpg elements are little bit worse
-less playtime
+pve is much better
+much faster combat/gameplay -

Mar 29, 2022Gorgeous design of locations and bosses, the logical conclusion of the story. For me personally, it lost in atmosphere compared to the previous parts, but not in vain. The number of cool and relatively difficult bosses far exceeds previous games, the open world has many places to explore and have fun with friends.

Dec 10, 2021Yes, indeed that is the 2. hardest game ı have ever played. And one of the best i have no negative thaughts in this game that is amazing!
-
Sep 27, 2021Отличная игра для вечера в кругу семьи и близких.
Думаю каждому в конце игры было грустно от того что это закончилось. -
Mar 23, 2022I put 1200 hours into this game. Love Pontiff, love life.
This is the best of the Souls series in many ways. -

Aug 11, 20238.8 The best from software game i played after Elden Ring. Amazing Bosses and locations.

Mar 5, 2023Incredible boss design. Much less intricate world design than Dark Souls I. Also much less BS moments like Anor Londo archers that force you to always be looking over your shoulder. I don't imagine you could get as creative with character builds as the first game either, but personally i just stick with the basic melee strength build so wasn't bothered much. Solid From Software stuff.

Sep 25, 20219 out of 10 just because there was an unmatched and incomparable Bloodborne...
-
Sep 28, 2021The most beautiful of the dark soul's games. It could do with being a little bit darker, but it's amazing regardless. The introduction of weapon skills, decent movement while drinking estus, and the overall speed of combat increase are all amazing.
The only downsides I see are the loss of power stance and hexes. -

Oct 30, 2021Unbelievably hard and beautiful, the effort you put on this definitely pays off. It's even better when u play with friends, imagine a 4-people party playing together while being invaded, it's so much fun that i can't even describe.
-
Nov 2, 2021Meilleure action que j'ai jouée et meilleure de la série. Les niveaux sont incroyables et les boss aussi.
-
Nov 23, 2021It's Amazing, The combat is similar to previous SoulBourne games, but It just seems perfected in this game. The Bosses, The Music, The Level-Design, it's all immaculate.
If you haven't played Dark Souls 3, play it. -
Dec 6, 2021I get why people call it a greatest hits game, but is that a bad thing? It's much better than 2 for starters...
-
Dec 4, 2021This quickly became one of my favourite games to play ever. If you can get through the difficulty of the game, you'll most likely enjoy it.

Feb 17, 2022Eksploracja w dark souls 3 jest doskonała, bossy w większości trudne lecz zdarzyło się kilka, które zabiłem za pierwszym razem. Nie odpowiada mi trochę sposób w jaki przedstawiona jest tu fabuła, lecz to tylko moja subiektywna opinia i wiem, że jest wiele fanów takiego rozwiązania

Mar 22, 2022This is my first souls game and goes so hard like i was missing out hard with this game its so good. The difficulty is cool as the basic enemies are harder than 90% of a lots of games bosses and when you kill the bosses and win it feels so rewarding and satisfying. Based game

Apr 3, 2022I didn't think this was going to be a game I enjoyed, but I guess I was wrong. The exploration, different play styles, lore, and fun yet challenging boss fights just kept me coming back! Some areas and enemies had me salty but felt so good to persist and overcome.
-
Apr 5, 2022Creo que es el mejor ¨dark souls¨. Es el más lineal con diferencia, pero también creo que es el más rejugable. Muchísimas opciones, gameplay más rápido que los anteriores, muy bien balanceado y sus dlc son una burrada. Un pack muy sólido.
-
Apr 9, 2022Excellent game, full of great enemies, stunning art direction, incredible bosses, gorgeous arenas, unparalleled level design, wonderful music.
-
Apr 13, 2022My first ever souls game and I had an absolute blast. From the quality of the bosses to the deep lore, the game is brilliant. My only complaints are the variation in the quality of some levels, the swamps and catacombs are below par, especially when compared to the ringed city and irythill. But aside from that, wonderful game.

Apr 17, 2022It's like the Dark Souls of video games. It's like the Dark Souls of video games.

Apr 17, 2022I beat this game using a keyboard and mouse, why? I was at college and didn't bring a controller. Game is too good to wait for a controller.

Apr 17, 2022This game is like learning an art form, to get good, you need to develop the instinct, learn enemy movements, deploy patience.

Apr 17, 2022While Dark Souls 1 is my favorite for its world, Dark Souls 3 brings a lot of welcome changes to the gameplay, such as weapon arts. A lot of fun bosses to fight, as well. Definitely check it out if you like the series!

Apr 17, 2022Finish the game around 30hrs offline(online ng+ 16hrs) the game does not registered achievements and hours played offline.

Apr 17, 2022All around great game you just have to play it to understand how amazing it is.
-
Apr 17, 2022Loved this when it first came out and it's still fun. Super responsive and bosses have obvious punish windows plus you can dodge anything if your timing is good ^.^
-
Apr 20, 2022This game rocks. The map design really is disappointing if you're coming from dark souls 1, but the gameplay will blow you away.
-
Apr 26, 2022Let's be honest here we don't have to say anything here except that you will need to prepare to die like any other souls games so my words of advice "Praise the Sun and keep trying you can do this"

Apr 26, 2022다크소울3는 괴랄한 난이도의 게임으로 잘 알려져 있습니다. 그렇기에 저도 구매한 후 막상 손도 못대고 라이브러리에 썩혀두기만 했습니다. 그러나 약 40시간에 걸쳐 1회차 엔딩을 보고나니, 그 동안 제가 왜 이런 명작 게임을 썩혀두었는지 뼈저리게 후회되네요.

Dec 1, 2016Despite 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.
-
CD-ActionJun 29, 2016Everything 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. [06/2016, p.34]

Jun 6, 2016It 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.
