    Ultimate dark souls. I played for hours, hours. The hitting feel is so good...

    The 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.

    sin duda el mejor souls que jugue en mi vida combate mas dinamico graficos mas pulidos un multiplayer promedio pero con una historia interesante cuanto menos sus dlc son recomendables tocarlos pero bajo su proprio riesgo no son cualquier cosa estos jefes son de temer pricipalmente el caballero esclavo gael lo venci 2 veces con mi espadon de farron pero aun asi son de desos jefes que si nosin duda el mejor souls que jugue en mi vida combate mas dinamico graficos mas pulidos un multiplayer promedio pero con una historia interesante cuanto menos sus dlc son recomendables tocarlos pero bajo su proprio riesgo no son cualquier cosa estos jefes son de temer pricipalmente el caballero esclavo gael lo venci 2 veces con mi espadon de farron pero aun asi son de desos jefes que si no pudes ganarle con magia estos estan hechos para luchar cara a cara sin duda uno de los mejores combates que eh disfrutado, lo unico negativo que tiene es que no puedes reforzar las armaduras y demas trajes solo las armas y escudos lo bueno de eso que todas los trajes y armaduras en general no tienen cambios significativos con las defensas basicamente es un fashion souls lo cual no es malo si te gusta usar tu set favorito sin ninguna desventaja como en mi caso, es un gran juego que para a quellos que quieren jugar bloodborne bueno este juego es lo mas parecido que podran jugar en lo que se mantiene como exclusivo de ps4 , mi puntuacion final es de un 9 de 10.

    Praise 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!

    I 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.

    I think the biggest reason for negative reviews is people accrediting the difficulty to nothing other than "difficult for difficulties sake". And while obviously the people who learn and love to learn the complex battle maneuvers that are required to take down the most difficult enemies will disagree on that reason alone. I must say that this game is polarizing because of how subjectivelyI think the biggest reason for negative reviews is people accrediting the difficulty to nothing other than "difficult for difficulties sake". And while obviously the people who learn and love to learn the complex battle maneuvers that are required to take down the most difficult enemies will disagree on that reason alone. I must say that this game is polarizing because of how subjectively meaningful it is and the effect it has on the gamer at hand personally.

    I have long battled w/ depression, anxiety, agoraphobia and near-death addiction (worst of all). These are fights that require 100x the effort I once put into something as simple as survival, and 1000x the effort to achieve happiness. Unlike a game, I am forced to grapple with these or lose my life at worst or suffer tremendous physical and psychological pain at best if I ignore this necessary fight. Someone once talked in detail about how to them overcoming Dark Souls 1 and overcoming their depression were a synonymous time in their life. And that ideology instantly clicked as a perfect description of one of my primal loves for Miyazaki's games. Just as it is not as easy as your typical game to succeed in, in life it is not as simple for someone to be healthy and happy for a man/woman suffering through mental illness, addiction, grief, physical illness or any of many human hardships, compared to the the relatively easily happy and healthy lives of people not facing any major hardship. People unhindered by such hardships are able to feel freedom in life without much struggle nor the relatively huge uphill battle that other people must climb just to reach the same level ground as people who had a shorter and less treachorous walk to the same place in life. For us people who are FORCED to live with hardship and fight make our own wellness and happiness, lest we give up and suffer and/or die for it; the mechanics of this game offer much needed catharsis. Every day I am reminded of the people I loved who died in their early youth from addiction. Every day I struggle with the distorted lens through which the average person stigmatizes me, alienates me, revokes opportunity from me, and propagates their many unfounded, preconceived notions of me. I have been sober for 4 years, yet even after 40 years sober, I will have my talents, skills, education, positivity, and love that I have to offer minimized, denied and rejected all because I made a mistake when I was young because a near death injury left me with chronic pain and lack of proper medical pain treatment led me to opiates. A lack of proper education left me with no knowledge of what physical addiction and withdrawals were until I was too far into it and began experiencing unbearable pain when forgoing opiates for just a few hours. I was no longer self-treating my injury-related pain, I was in a vicious cycle of staving off opiate withdrawals with enough opiates to simply feel normal. I was not pursuing a high, I could no longer even pursue pain-relief for my past of chronic pain, I was simply being thrown through the endlessly vicious loop of dosing myself and separating my doses far enough apart to avoid withdrawals and feel like a normal person again.

    The reason I mention this is because in Dark Souls (DS3 in this case), we bare the Darksign which is the source of eternal hardship for all undead who bare this mark. Its simply a symbol on our character's body, yet it causes our character to be alienated and cast out of society, it causes our character to be judged before even met. We are the victim of great and unwarranted stigma and hate. Its very familiar. And in the end, we fight for something greater for the whole world; to bring a new age for the better of all mankind, even if said mankind had treated us as the filthiest subhuman trash in existence, not for our actions, not for our character, but for our undead status.

    Getting sober was a hellish fight, eternally more difficult than any endeavor I faced prior to age 23 when I first touched opiates. It was a fight to make a better life for the benefit of myself, my loved ones and society at large. Yet I was looked down upon all the same.

    Despite such unjust condemnation, I did not let it hold me back in my quest to do what is objectively right in this world. I may have started as a hollow of myself, but I seeked out the light and was rewarded with mercy and reward in life and from those loved ones I truly care for.

    I set out in a Souls Game, vicariously ready to relive my fight against hardship through the player character. A character so similar in circumstance to myself. The great failures and more permanent losses are like my life, and learning to cope with tremendous, irrevocable pain and loss, it had all the more meaning. Success in DS is earned and far more emphatic/meaningful, just as a life success in the face of death+hardship is.

    Can't recommend enough. Improved perfectly on prior games. Uniquely Beautiful Experience.

    It gets a 8 from me, because overall the game is a masterpiece.. but it borrows so much from Dark Souls 1 that sometimes, I get the two mixed up, and I found the Grand Archives to be EXTREMELY annoying.

If Grand Archives, one of the later levels in the game, wasn't so hellbent in blasting the player with dozens of projectiles at any given moment and a crystal sage that teleports out of reach throughout a 3 story interior, I'd give it a 9.

    The bulk of DS3 is challenging but fair combat against your usual fromsoft enemies, in reasonable numbers. Fast aggressive enemies mixed in with slower, lumbering types, designed to trip up your dodge timing and make you dodge into an enemy. Often, there'll be a few archers situated behind you or across the map segment you are fighting in, making you weave through enemies to take it/them down first. There's a healthy dose of firebomb throwers and enemies with surprise mutation mechanics, as well as the typical hide behind a wall until you walk by kind of enemies that would make a COD player scream "Camper!!" into their mic. Dogs and other fast monster enemies are spread throughout, but don't make the bulk of the game. It's not until later levels that annoying enemies and the number of them begin to increase, although there appears to be late game enemies mixed in low area levels, like the giant crabs of Farron Keep. I'd recommend if there's a certain mob or enemy type that you can't kill no matter how hard you try, just run past them. Bosses in my opinion are much easier and way more predictable than some of the bigger mobs that appear in inconvenient locations through the game. Level design is pretty good, typical linear but labyrinthine approach that Fromsoft is known for, but I think some enemy placements could be better.

    The bosses overall are pretty good, definitely better than the ones in Dark Souls 2 and the difficulty seems to ease the player in a little more smoothly than Bloodborne or Dark Souls 1. When Dark Souls 3 decides to become hard, it's just as hard as the others, if not harder, but I found the beginning for the most part to be much easier to breeze through than the others. The beginning will no doubt be hard to easy mode casuals and newcomers, but it's better off to start out difficult then start out piss easy and throw a difficulty spike out of nowhere.

    The graphics are nice, and coming from the PS4 version, the PC upgrade is instantly noticeable. On an RX580 I can run ultra at 1080 and get 60 frames locked, the visuals aren't that much better that I noticed but the framerate is night and day. Particle effects like ice shimmer or fires flickering look really nice, and reflections on armor and weapons are suitably eye candy. Locations all have some visual flair and overall, the graphics are pretty good and aren't likely to distract with low res textures or enemy T-poses.

    The weapons and armor all look nice, but although there are a bunch of weapons in DS3, many are recycled from the first game and none of them felt as fun to use as the trick weapons in Bloodborne. Regardless they serve their purpose and there's a good amount of build variety.

    It's a great game, but if you're new to Fromsoft games, I'd recommend playing the first game before. I think it has the most balanced difficulty between NPC summons, weapons, combat timing and overall enjoyment. But since most people won't understand the overall story anyway, DS3 isn't a bad place to start either.

I did not pick it up for a while because it's not really my genre, but am I glad that I eventually got to it. Fantastic experience all around, with some faults that are not a deal breaker.

    Pros:
    -Difficulty level is just right, and the AI is quite good without making you feel like it is cheating
    -Graphics and atmosphere are top-notch
    -Story seems quite deep and interesting, although I'm not much into this kind of genre
    -Decent balance in the economy of items/drops, only occasionally felt like there was too much clutter/unneeded resources

    Cons:
    -Camera can go out of wack
    -AI cheats a bit in terms of it being able to swing through solid objects and walls, the kind of objects whereas a player's sword would fail to do the same (annoyingly getting the blocked animation)

    Yes, 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.

    Gráficos, jugabilidad, música e historia. Este juego lo tiene todo. No se puede juzgar si es mejor o peor que DS1 desde la objetividad pero a mi, personalmente y subjetivamente, me parece mejor que la primera entrega.

    El juego no es complicado, es cierto que durante nuestra primera partida (y más si nunca hemos jugado a juegos así) vamos a morir bastante y a frustrarnos en ciertos momentos pero el juego nunca deja de enseñarnos lecciones ni deja de ser entretenido. La dificultad en este juego es una cosa muy subjetiva, cada uno elige como de difícil quiere que sea su experiencia en Dark Souls 3. Lo primero que debemos hacer es entender como funciona el juego y que reglas debemos seguir en su universo. Aprender a utilizar correctamente las stats, armas, anillos y los tipos de ataque así como entender como funciona el daño causado es algo obligatorio si queremos disfrutar de este juego y superarlo. No hay nada más satisfactorio que ir poco a poco aprendiendo a jugar, entender el juego y ver como cosas que antes nos parecían imposibles, con la práctica y el tiempo se convierten en sencillas y triviales. También es muy importante saber que tipo de jugador somos y que forma de jugar se nos da mejor. En mi primera partida elegí un caballero con espada y lo pasé francamente mal (no se me da bien jugar con personajes de cuerpo a cuerpo) pero cuando cambié a un piromántico la cosa cambió por completo. Eso de rodar ligero de equipo y lanzar bolas de fuego era lo mío y enemigos que antes me parecían imposibles se tornaron en un paseo, aunque eso no significa que todo consista en rodar y lanzar fuego, pues también encontré enemigos que con mi caballero me parecían super sencillos mientras que con el piromántico lo pase bastante peor. Hay un mantra en torno a este juego llamado "git gud" utilizado de manera despectiva contra la gente que se queja de su dificultad, sin embargo, es cierto. No es el sentido de que debamos tener reflejos felinos y recordar de manera precisa cada ataque de un enemigo sino en el sentido de que debemos aprender como funciona el juego, aprender todo lo que nos ofrece y utilizar correctamente todas las herramientas del juego. Esa es la verdadera dificultad de Dark Souls pero una vez que aprendemos (consiste en leer durante 10 minutos un par de foros) el juego se vuelve muy divertido, entretenido y asequible. Es cierto que algunos enemigos tienen energía infinita, causan enorme daño y tienen rangos de ataque absurdos pero no hay nada que no se pueda derrotar con la estrategia (y digo estrategia, no habilidad) correcta.

    Respecto al online hay también bastante controversia. Mi primera partida fue offline, sin invasiones: ni aliados ni enemigos mas allá de los NPC. Creo que es como se debería hacer la primera partida a cualquier dark souls. Mi segunda partida volvió a ser offline pero utilizando una guía (hay tantos secretos en este juego que se hace verdaderamente difícil completar las misiones secundarias y encontrar las zonas opcionales sin ayuda) y en mi NG++ offline fue cuando por fin me convertí en "maestro" de este juego. Al terminarlo salte de lleno al online.

    El modo online es necesario si queremos aumentar nuestro nivel de juramentos y conseguir los objetos asociados a ese juramento. Hay varias opciones tanto para PVP como para cooperativo así como varias opciones para aumentar o reducir las probabilidades de ser invadidos. Hay gente que se queja de que no puede jugar cooperativo con sus amigos sin ser invadidos, pero es una forma de equilibrar el juego. DS se torna ridículamente fácil si jugamos con un amigo, Incluso los NPC con su IA limitada hacen de este juego un paseo, imaginaos jugando con un humano de verdad. Por eso existen los fantasmas rojos y las invasiones hostiles, para compensar la dificultad. Es un tema subjetivo y relativo a los gustos de cada persona como deberían o no ser las invasiones pero son como son y hay que adaptarse a ello en lugar de llorar y quejarse. Si no quieres invasiones, juega offline; si quieres pocas invasiones, juega SOLO y si quieres un PVP constante usa un dedo reseco pero no te quejes de que eres invadido constantemente cuando juegas con tus amigos en co-op porque esa es la forma en que esta concebido este juego.

    En resumen, Dark Souls 3 es una obra maestra que permite a cada jugador crear su propia experiencia de juego a la vez que ofrece unos gráficos, música y jugabilidad de sobresaliente.

    PD: Para el jugador medio, no para los pros (y esto es una opinión totalmente subjetiva), el juego es más justo que Bloodborne pero menos que Sekiro a nivel de "Fair Play" de los enemigos contra el jugador y es un juego más difícil que DS1. Aunque la dificultad en estos juegos es una experiencia única para cada jugador. Jugando DS1 por primera vez morí como 7 veces contra la mariposa pero acabé con Orstein y Smoug y con Lecho del Caos a la primera, por increíble que parezca.

    Gorgeous 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.

    + Great implementation of soulslike mechanics
    + RPG mechanics don't ruin skill based combat - your build affects the difficulty a lot, but the game doesn't just break down when you're underpowered

    - Janky controls - locking onto enemies can fail and turn your camera in the direction your character was last moving; due to the sprint being bound to hold dodge, dodging is delayed (since the game has to wait to make sure you're not holding the button to sprint) and can sometimes not come out at all if you press it for too long
    - Some checkpoint placements, whether long before a boss or a long walk from the nearest place of interest
    - 60 fps lock on PC
    - **** implementation of co-op
    - Some annoying enemies and levels

На любую локацию всегда можно и вернуться и найти что-то новое на ней. Например - самая первая лока, там где игрок появляется. Когда судья Гундир был давно побеждён мной, я вернулся туда и зашёл в один непримечательный тоннель, он привёл меня к мини-боссу этой локации. И таких секретов там просто навалом.
    Боёвка в этой игре очень интересная: существуют разные виды мечей, луков, у них есть разные способности. Также есть колдовство и пиромантия для которых есть множество заклинаний. Враги разнообразные, они обладают разными стилями боя.
    В начале игры боссы не так часто встречаются на твоём пути - но чем дальше ты проходишь, тем их больше. Одинаковых боссов я не встречал, каждый приподнесёт игроку что-то новое.
    Моя оценка - 10/10.

    Incredible 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.

    ДС3 - хорошая игра, но в ней много изъянов, из-за чего моя оценка 8/10.
    В игре мне понравилось:
    - Обновленный дизайн игры по сравнению с прошедшими частями - Офигенные побочные квесты (Сигварда, Леонхарда, Анри) - Возможность проходить игру разными классами: Воином, Лучником, Пиромантом, Магом, Клириком и др. - 3 прикольных босса: Лотрик, Безымянный король и Понтифик - Локация

    - 3 прикольных босса: Лотрик, Безымянный король и Понтифик
    - Локация Иритилл холодной долины и пару других

    Собственно минусы:
    1. PVP. Оно просто ужасно и убитое. Возможно в начале игры было прикольно порубить с другими игроками, но в 2022 это просто ппц. Остались либо задроты, либо при вторжении ты попадаешься на стак из 2-3 таких же задров, которые тебя за пару сек уработают. Магами играть вообще нет смысла, так как все заклинания доджатся перекатами, а как у вас кончится мана, то вам конец.
    2. Баги. Баги в побочных квестах, когда НПС не появляется. Баги когда метки для призыва НПЦ не появляются. Также в игре куча других багов, про которые я уже подзабыл.
    3. Платина. Чтобы ее получить нужно пройти через предыдущие 2 пункта + заниматься геморром по собиранию жестов, колец и другой шляпы. Не вздумайте проходить игру на платину, т.к. Вас будет тошнить и возвращаться в игру будет 0 желания. Странно, но в Бладборне получать платину было прикольно
    4. Душные локации. Опять насували духоты по типу подземелья Иритилла, Катакомбы Картуса, болот и других подобных локаций. Неужели нельзя было сделать не душные, а красивые интересные локации по типу Иритилла?!
    5. Огромные и легкий боссы. Каждый босс в игре размером в 10 раз больше основного героя. Если пройти игру 1 раз, то на последующие разы босы будут отлетать с 1-2 траев
    6. Дисбаланс в оружие. В игры очень много мусорного не юзабельного оружия
    Лично я считаю, что Бладборн - это пока лучшая игра Фромов, где все минусы перебиваются огромными плюсами. Бладборн - 10/10, ну а ДС3 - 7.5.

    The 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.

Игра не считает игрока идиотом, и не боится подкидывать сюрпризы, в том числе и на соображалку. Левел и арт дизайн просто изумительны: можно спокойно ориенироваться без карты, даже при первом прохождении,
    у каждой локации есть свой неповторимый стиль, ты никогда не спутаешь ещё с другой, и общая атмосфера - нечто неверотяное. Музыкальное сопровождение игры... достаточно будет сказать что я до сих пор слушаю некоторые темы боссов, а тема из главного меню - вообще шедевр.
    Враги всегда умеют чем то удивить, да и просто разглядывать их - безумно увлекательно. Короче, эта игры - квинтэссенция всего хорошего что было в SoulsBorn серии, и я искренне рад что мне удалось пощупать этот шедевр

    魂系列的魅力所在就是他的地图设计,地图上很多难处理的怪物让人步步为营但是又一直能产生探索下去的欲望,在经历了种种困难后见到一处被人遗忘的古代遗迹,这种兴奋感是不会消失的。战斗体验十分优秀,boss设计一板一眼,虽然难度曲线较高但是适应后很快可以作出反击,而且这样战胜后成就感更足。整个游戏流程不长,尤其是在已经走过一遍的情况下,走二周目只花了我大概7小时不到的时间。rpg的成长曲线方面个人感觉有些欠缺,一方面是一把长剑用到最后,另一方面本作没有什么多样性的装备build,也没有获取一个好装备时的惊喜。魂系列的魅力所在就是他的地图设计,地图上很多难处理的怪物让人步步为营但是又一直能产生探索下去的欲望,在经历了种种困难后见到一处被人遗忘的古代遗迹,这种兴奋感是不会消失的。战斗体验十分优秀,boss设计一板一眼,虽然难度曲线较高但是适应后很快可以作出反击,而且这样战胜后成就感更足。整个游戏流程不长,尤其是在已经走过一遍的情况下,走二周目只花了我大概7小时不到的时间。rpg的成长曲线方面个人感觉有些欠缺,一方面是一把长剑用到最后,另一方面本作没有什么多样性的装备build,也没有获取一个好装备时的惊喜。

Unlike ds2 this game doesn't have its own identity, and build variety ranges from one sword to another, as in sorceries and miracle are there to only benifit the melee build, but the game more than makes up for it by the numerous incredible levels and bosses and it's incredible combat. Just like every other soulsborne game before it, it spoiled me. The feeling of defeating incredible bosses or going through tough areas to find yourself in a short cut back to the bonfire is just **** incredible, the feeling you get after such a task is so full filling, and the lore- the story that the world passively explains and makes you question the validity of linking the fire, to prolong a dying world. This truly makes sense as a closing for the souls series. No other game series to me will match this trilogy of games, I am truly spoiled by this game and this trilogy. Incredible DLCs, incredible game.

    For casuals I'd strongly recommend to just play a more fun and accessible modern PC game like god of war any day or (if you are dedicated) to start your From Soft journey with elden ring.

    For people who are intrigued by From Soft games this is another fantastic title to spend hundreds of hours on. If I had to pick one "genre" to play for the rest of my live it would be From Soft titles - for me their gameplay and atmosphere is just unmatched. These aren't normal games this is art. And for that they deserve a 10.

Interesting levels, immense build and class variety, lots of great weapons and armor to deck out the Ashen One, epic boss fights crafted perfectly to tests your skills, glorious sights and stunning views, and an incredibly fascinating yet obtusely portrayed backstory found through subtle hints laid throughout the world, item descriptions, and character designs. The combat of this game is likely the greatest I have ever experienced in a videogame. It is fast paced and exciting, yet still just the right tempo to play methodically and with immense strategy. Overcoming a boss you've been attempting for hours is the greatest feeling of excitement and accomplishment you can receive from a videogame. Truly euphoric at times. The indirect nature of this games story telling in no way takes away from the enjoyment of the game due to the mysterious and cryptic way it presents itself. Going out of your way to learn about the world, its history, its characters, and its motivations only leads to an even greater appreciation for the pure work of art presented to you. Expand

    Dark souls 3 is by no means an easy game. However I don't think it is unfair. Enemies follow patterns that are easy to pick up and and figure out. While the visuals are a bit outdated compared to today's standards they are still absolutely stunning. I found myself being amazed by every area I find. I was often worried about getting lost because I get myself turned around easily but thatDark souls 3 is by no means an easy game. However I don't think it is unfair.

This game had an interesting story and fun game play. It has easily risen to my top 10 of games. Expand

    Online servers have been offline for three months. No updates from the devs.
    Interestingly, the servers of elden ring are online.

    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.
