    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

    One of the best Games known to mankind.
    From Software is a safe heaven for the Gaming community.
    Especially in times where big Developers dissapiont us with theyr fraudulent intent.
    Praise the sun!

    Улучшена версия культовой первой части, музыка эпичнее, графика лучше, битвы с босами масштабные, что еще нужно для счастья любителю серии. Прошел несколько раз и пройду наверное еще.

    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.

    As my entry to the Soulsborne series, it was such a great video game.
    This game rewards patience and skill more than most games from nowadays, the level design is SO good, Bosses are awesome and epic, accompanied by some of the best Soundtrack I've ever heard.
    The lore and story are subtle but very interesting and developed if you look into it enough. The atmosphere is terrifying and    As my entry to the Soulsborne series, it was such a great video game.

    I'm so happy that Dark Soul 3 came out as a PC game.
    This game is very difficult.

    I envy Japan, which makes games well no matter how much I think about it.

    Dark Souls II wasn't a bad game by any means, but a little bit of a disappointment. Dark Souls III is a return to form, coming close to meeting the high bar set by the first game in the series.

    хоть игра почти такаяже. при этом изменения заметны, убрали адаптивность, то есть теперь игрок моментально не осттанавливается а может пить эстус во время ходьбы, искуственный интеллект меньше "помогает" делать перекаты, что помогает самому контрлировать направление удара, тепепь если граматно расположить героя, он не пропускает мимо а парирует. плюс добавили режим "пвп 1 на 1", хотьхоть игра почти такаяже. при этом изменения заметны, убрали адаптивность, то есть теперь игрок моментально не осттанавливается а может пить эстус во время ходьбы, искуственный интеллект меньше "помогает" делать перекаты, что помогает самому контрлировать направление удара, тепепь если граматно расположить героя, он не пропускает мимо а парирует. плюс добавили режим "пвп 1 на 1", хоть какое-то разнообразие.… Expand

    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.

    So it was my first souls-like game and at first I thought I faced the worst game I've ever played.. It was a huge pain, but it still was, like, attracting me. 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. Didn't even think it would be so good, damn.So it was my first souls-like game and at first I thought I faced the worst game I've ever played..

    One of the best games ever, one of the deepest lore I've experienced. It's a shame that most people are not even aware of how deep the lore of this game is, but hey, VaatiVidya (Youtube) got your back :)

    Another remarkable achievement of Hidetaka Miyazaki's genius (along with DS1, Bloodborne, and Sekiro)!

    For me, its the best Dark Souls.
    It has:
    The smoothest Controls and Combat.
    The best Magic System.
    The best Graphics.
    The best DLCs.
    The same Atmosphere of the Souls Games.
    The same diffrent nice Music.

    Завершение серии получилось хорошо. Ещё больше чувствуется разница между тяжелым и лёгким стилем боя, новые приемы с использованием манны и ещё много и много всего. Всем, кому зашли предыдущие части, обязательно к ознакомлению.Завершение серии получилось хорошо.

    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.
