    this game is nothing short of incredible and I'm not even done, just completely hooked.
    From the lore, to the enemies, to the map design, to the gameplay, everything is just so cool. It is the perfect embodiment of what a video game should be.
    Every setting is amazing to look at experience and I highly recommend everyone play the game and appreciate the world for what it is.

    Ahora que concluí mi largo viaje en este hermoso juego me siento digno de dejar mi humilde comentario.
    Dark souls 3 es uno de los mejores juegos RPG que pude haber jugado en toda mi vida, y la verdad todo el juego, desde el comienzo hasta el final es toda una travesía, con una historia tremenda que esta enlazada con el primer dark souls.

    Los controles del juego son de lo mejor que hay en la saga ya que tiene una perfecta mezcal entre el original y boodborne lo cual hace al juego fluido y mas agil, sin tosquearce tanto como en el primer dark souls.

    They took away MP to promote elden ring, masking it in a "technicall issue" that the fanbase fixed in 2 days but an official company cant in 4months. While in the store the multiplayer is still there and you pay extra. Game is great but this behaviour is just ass.

    EBEUFDIJIWEOhf;iuoweHGFO;WIEHGUIWERHIOFJIJOIDRHG;IOERJGIOJIER Most bosses did feel a bit too easy, there were only 4 bosses that took me more than one try so far, and I was able to finish the game in 20 hours so it feels a bit short. However it does make up for the short length with lots of hidden areas and side quests to do. But besides all of that, pretty awesome

    This game simply is a polished gem which is a blast to play, it's much smoother and more fluid than the older games in the series and the kingdom of Lothric it is set in feels very convincing. The NPCs are very memorable and the level and enemy design are top notch as are the combat and boss fights.

    The Master of the souls games.
    There was no better ending to the souls series than this game. The Ringed City DLC close that beautiful work very well, with one last boss as tough as it is moving. It's a 10 for me, a tough game, but a good one.

    Oh boy, that was the first Souls series game that I've played and I didn't believe it would change my whole gamer view. I never thought I was a player who liked so much difficulty before playing Dark Souls. I always played games on the normal difficulty or maybe in the 2nd higher but Dark Souls you don't have the choice which is a great thing.

    My first impressions of the game, I was    Oh boy, that was the first Souls series game that I've played and I didn't believe it would change my whole gamer view. I never thought I was a player who liked so much difficulty before playing Dark Souls. I always played games on the normal difficulty or maybe in the 2nd higher but Dark Souls you don't have the choice which is a great thing.

    My first impressions of the game, I was astonished at how good was the combat system. It is indeed a very simple combat system, you don't have many combat moves you can just light, heavy and plunge attack, dodge and defend and parry and use some magic. But the combat system is so polished and accurate you actually feel the weight of your weapon when it collides in the enemy shield and the moves are very precise so when you die you know the mistake was yours alone. The great variety of weapons offsets the lack of combat moves you can characters can do.

    The exploration and difficulty are both in the same boat. You can die for anything, enemies can come out from a door and kill you by surprise. Enemies on the roof can jump on you and attack you by surprise. You have to be 24/7 alert. And the interesting part is that when you die, you lose your Souls (that are used to level up your character) but if you return to where you died you can retrieve it. That mechanic is so interesting and when you die makes you play safe and strategically to do not lose your souls.

    The graphics of this game is beautiful (especially Boreal Valley) and each map is unique. Also, the way the game reveals shortcuts as you progress is a masterpiece.

    So, if the game is so good, why don't you give 10/10? The answer is, I don't like the way the story is told. It isn't for my taste. You play with a character with no story and everything is so philosophical and abstract. Unless you search videos on Youtube, there is a little story in this game and you only can theorize about it. And I am a very story, skewed player. I like games with memorable gameplay mechanics (like Dark Souls) but that also have memorable stories like RDR2, GOW, FC4, etc.    … Expand

    Jeder kennt es, fast jeder hat es schon einmal gespielt, und viele lieben es. Das "schwerste Spiel aller Zeiten" (aka. Dark Souls). Ich liebe diese Reihe und Dark Souls III gehört zu meinen absoluten Top Spielen, weshalb sich diese Review vielleicht so anhört, wie ein K-Pop Fangirl, dass dir versucht zu erklären warum BTS, die beste Band aller Zeiten ist.

    Im Vergleich mit seinen Vorgängern, hat Dark Souls III, eine etwas schnelleres Kampfsystem und eine wesentlich lineareren Aufbau was für den einen schlecht, für den anderen gut sein kann.

    Die Bosse und ihrer Inszenierungen sind bombastisch und gehören zu der Spitze der Reihe. Die Gebiete sind abwechslungsreich und schön düster gestaltet, was den Reiz am Spiel ebenfalls ausmacht. Der Soundtrack ist wundervoll und es gibt nichts was mehr mitreißender ist, als den Schlägen eines fast besiegten Bosses auszuweichen, während im Hintergrund eine aufbrausende Musik ertönt.

    Das Kampfsystem ist grandios, denn nicht umsonst ist es der Maßstab für gute RPG Kämpfe.

    Die DLCs sind auch empfehlenswert, wobei mich vor allem das zweite, sehr gepackt hat und mir endlos viele Stunden meines Lebens beim bekämpfen eines bestimmten Drachen genommen hat.

    Beim erneuten Durchspielen entdeckst du immer wieder neue Gebiete und durch seine verschiedenen Klassen und Spielweisen, wird es auch nach dem 8ten Run, nicht langweilig

    Also zum Abschluss, grandioses Spiel, grandiose Reihe.

    DARK SOULS 3 is a pretty good game
    i have played elden ring sekiro and bloodborne prior to this and i still think they ae better than dark souls 3. The game itself is fluid with amazing boss battles and interesting characters, i was able to feel immersed in the story although it is confusing. I think this game can be recommended to poeple wanting something similar to elden ring and like the combat style. Some flaws in the game in my opinion is that it often feels very frustrating to get past bosses and the late game is really unfair, with even common enemies able to deal a ton of damage. it doesnt feel as strong as elden ring or bloodborne because some of its level design is really boring. The level design makes me feel very burned out and often i find myself feeling very done with the game. I would consider this game to be an 8/10. EDIT SOON
    alright after doing 2 endings and both dlcs, my opinion has changed abit. This game's DLCs are really good and makes up for some of the boring areas in the main game like 2 of the starting areas, but near the end it is really good and the dlcs are memorable and add to the experience. 9/10, what a game!    … Expand

    Easily my favorite of the trilogy. The bosses are cool, the lore is cool, the level design is gritty and dark, and the combat speed was upped, helping it stand above Dark Souls 1 & 2 in terms of replayability years later. The new combat features like twin weapons feel good to use (unlike 2-handing in DS1 or power stances in DS2).

    The game that got me hooked on the souls saga, i absolutely love this game and enjoyed every single one of my 15+ playthroughs whether be alone or with my friends. The frame cap and the keyboard/mouse input are the only things that I can complain on the top of my mind right now, but this is truly a legendary game

    The best gameplay and boss fights in all the series. The level design sucks, it's just a straight line. Too many references to previous games and the lores is passable. Amazing for Boss Rush and online PvP, surely better than Dark Souls 2 though

    Doesn't reach the same highs or overall quality as the first, but also doesn't fall to the same lows. Some of the best bosses in the series and, as always with FromSoftware games, if the base game is a 10, the DLC is an 11.

    this game is genuine perfection. Perfect progression, perfect pacing, the difficulty curve is perfect, (most) of the areas are beautiful, the lore is intriguing, and the movement (compared to ds I and II) is unmatched. Highly recommend.

    My favorite game from the Dark Souls trilogy. I prefer this to DS1, I like the gameplay more and I feel the areas are less annoying.

    Cons:
    - World is disconnected. Not connected like in DS1
    - Some enemies seem a bit unfair

The enemy and boss design is fantastic. One this I didn’t enjoy very much is the combat mechanism. It’s too SLOW compared to Bloodborne and Sekiro. The dodging is slow and parrying is petty hard to get, even attacking takes 1sec to initiate. Maybe the game is OK and my build was trash, I don’t know. But for now, this game is not getting a perfect score from me. I will definitely revisit the game with a different build and then reconsider my score again.… Expand

    A wonderful continuation of the first part of the game where everything was improved and brought almost to the ideal.

    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.
