    This is probably the most polished of the dark souls games, and it has the most combat variety and replayability IMO. I hope that whenever a return to this series is made it keeps going where this left off or reinvents it like sekiro

    Básicamente el Dark Souls 1, pero en HD y con todo nuevo, que mas se puede pedir? tal vez la música no sea tan increíblemente memorable como la del primer juego, pero también es buena, el juego es genial, y las gráficas ayudan bastante. Sin duda una obra maestra de Miyazaki y el equipo de From Software.

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

    The game is most impressive technically - the controls are very smooth and responsive - certainly the best out of the 3 Dark Souls games, and the graphics are a visible upgrade from DS2. The world looks gorgeous, expansive, and detailed, while still maintaining that dark, desolate Souls feeling.

    En mi opinión es el mejor Souls hasta la fecha. La jugabilidad es absolutamente perfecta y las peleas contra bosses son las más memorables que he jugado. La única mínima pega que le tengo, es que las quests son muy aleatorias y puedes estropearlo por cualquier cosa que ni te esperes. Pero vaya, este juego es legendario.

After a bit more suffering it appeared that the game has really intresting lore and decent gameplay(it took some(lots of) time to start getting pleasure, but it was worth it), cool style.

    For me, as a casual gamer, DS3 was hard. I spent nearly 3 hours trying to defeat the very first boss, but when I finally did it, I felt great. The music, the whole world itself is amasing. The best game I've played so far.
    Sure, sometimes this game can be frustrating, and it WILL be frustrating, but in the end you think to yourself: "This was hecking cool. I am hecking cool."

    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.

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.

I still didn't like it, and to this day I still haven't finished it. I decided to skip straight to DS3, and I am glad I did. DS3 fixes most of the issues (and bugs) I had with the first game. It controls so much tighter and feels much fairer. Absolutely love it. Expand

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.

    Absolutely phenomenal game, optimises everything good about the souls series in one game, and removes most of the negatives, the closest to a perfect game in my opinion. Does every aspect of being a game as well as I have seen. KBAM support is very poor so essentially requires a controller but is a non issue in terms of its actual merits as a game.

    Dark Souls is my favorite franchise, and Dark Souls 3 is the best RPG I've ever played. It's difficult, but rewarding in many ways. This game is rich in beauty, from the mysterious lore, to the intricate combat styles, to the imperfect but deadly fun online gameplay. This game is just amazing in every way, and if you're a fan of a challenge, Dark Souls 3 is a must play.

Эта игра - чисто про геймплей, и он тут выверен и вылизан до состояния близкого к идеальному. Игра в меру сложная, но всегда даёт шанс на победу, каким бы билдом ты не играл. 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

    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

    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.
