    this game close up the dark souls series one of the best game series ever made neatly,
    the boss fight take all the good points of dark souls 1 plus bloodborne and ignore dark souls 2 to create unique fights that will change your perspectives about gaming in general.

    The game is at a very high level. Brilliant locations. Interesting plot and voice acting. Improved combat system compared to the previous parts. Music and bosses are probably the best of all parts.

    Among the minuses are small bugs in the combat system.

    Base game:

    Very linear and on-rail experience of Dark Souls, unlike the previous 2 games, but still has that signature intricate level design quality by Fromsoft.

    Very consistent from start to finish, and a great sendoff to an iconic franchise.

    9/10

    It feels like a game that made the most out of limited resources. simple but satisfying.

    The finale to the Dark Souls trilogy does a great job of closing things out on a good note. The combat and boss design are nearly perfect, if only the world wasn't so linear and devoid of life for the majority of the game.

    I absolutely love the Souls/BB/ER-Games. This release is no exception even tho it probably is my least favorite one (which still concludes to about 300 hours of total game time on PC and Console :D). Atmosphere is amazing, fighting is fun, unfortunately I didn't like the pacing as much as in the other titles. Still one of the best games I played

    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.
