    Some friends bought this game for me as a gift on my birthday, Feb 24th, believing that the server issue would take a few weeks to solve. It's been a 100 days and I can't have the full experience that the game promises or charges it's buyers.

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    My 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.

    Creo 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.

    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 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.

    It unfortunately does not have the interconnectivity of Dark Souls 1, but they improved upon many other aspects of the game. The combat is very quick, and just feels amazing.

Either the story is easier to understand, or I've just gotten better over time at interpreting the dark souls lore through the gameplay. I love the bosses in this game, especially the DLCs. Sister Friede was probably my favorite boss fight in the Dark Souls series. I enjoyed them much more than the boss fights in Dark Souls 1, with a few exceptions. This game did not make me want more Dark Souls games; the Ringed City DLC felt like the perfect conclusion to the series. It left me looking forward to From Software moving on to their next series.

    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.

    I put 1200 hours into this game. Love Pontiff, love life.

    This is the best of the Souls series in many ways.

    This 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

    A masterpiece, the best soul-like game for me. Because this was the first soul-like game I played, I was completely overwhelmed when I started the game. Imagine beating the first boss, finding the easter eggs in the game, defeating the Nameless King after thousands of tries, wholesome moments with Siegward, and more. Combined with DLC makes the game challenging but equally interesting.A masterpiece, the best soul-like game for me.

    Dark Souls III[a] is a 2016 action role-playing video game developed by FromSoftware and published by Bandai Namco Entertainment.

Set in the Kingdom of Lothric, a bell has rung to signal that the First Flame, responsible for maintaining the Age of Fire, is dying out. As has happened many times before, the coming of the Age of Dark produces the undead: cursed beings that rise after death. The Age of Fire can be prolonged with the linking of the fire, a ritual in which great lords and heroes sacrifice their souls to rekindle the First Flame. However, Prince Lothric, the chosen linker for this age, abandoned his duty and watched the flame die from afar. The bell is the last hope for the Age of Fire, resurrecting previous Lords of Cinder (heroes who linked the flame in past ages) to attempt to link the fire again; however, all but one Lord shirk their duty. Meanwhile, Sulyvahn, a sorcerer from the Painted World of Ariandel, wrongfully proclaims himself Pontiff and seizes power over Irithyll of the Boreal Valley and the returning Anor Londo cathedral from Dark Souls as a tyrant. It is an action role-playing game played in a third-person perspective. Players have access to various weapons, armour, magic, and consumables that they can use to fight their enemies. Bonfires serve as checkpoints. The Estus Flask is the consumable used for healing in Dark Souls III. Ashen Estus Flasks restore focus points (FP), which can be used for magic or weapon arts. Expand

    A game that does everything right. 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 characterA game that does everything right. 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

    Has the best combat of the dark souls series by far, it has a few dud bosses but most of the bosses are great and a good chunk are amazing standing far ahead of the other games boss designs. There's too many ds1 "references". The level design is good but not as good as the other games.

    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.
