May 12, 2016Guitar Hero. not a real RPG. everything is just awful. story, control, fun. one of the worst games I've played so far. and no - it's not hard. it's just dumb. no fun at all.

May 15, 2016This game was made out of Bloodborn , so they didn't have to spend much resources on a new game, you can see how stats/combat work similar to Bloodborn and not Dark Souls. This is just a cash grab and nothing else.

Nov 21, 2017So, no poise, dead pvp.
A lot of copy-past, even dark souls 2 was better.
And lastly, no humanity, you can't do fair heal fights in dark souls 3.
Dark Souls 1 so much better. -
Feb 3, 2020You cant coop easly... Game not for eveyone. If you ve no hands, you cant play it.

Dec 24, 2017I hated this game. Too difficult...I don't care. The Witcher 3 is good, this game is trash. Sorry I don't have a PhD in gaming. Graphics are amazing, environment is great, love the dark theme, but it is unplayable to an average (excel in first person shooters, but play the occasional RPG) player like myself. Just tone down the difficulty guys, some of us have girlfriends.

Sep 11, 2017This game is unplayable on my PC, constant stuttering. I went through 100s of fixes that were suppose to fix, none of them work. I have a high end PC so it's Bandai Namco Games that refuses to fix their broken game, huge disappointment.

Apr 14, 2016Game on PC just doesnt work, crashes up to 5 times in hour.
Worst port i saw in ages, unexpected after great DS2 PC version.
If you look at steam reviews you'll see that about 30% of PC players have same problems with crashes and/or extremely unstable framerates. -
Apr 12, 2016Unplayable on PC with mouse+keyboard... got refund. Graphics are nowhere close to screenshots and I'm playing on highest settings. So yeah great adverts, but you won't be stealing my money.

Apr 12, 2016**** port again. Poor controls for a 2010 game. Tutorials in **** controller buttons. Thanks, I'll just open my **** options and check what keys you meant. Poor excuse of a game to feed fanboys and make money off them, for this millennium of gaming. You'd expect such sloppiness in 1999

Apr 13, 2016I just cant understand how FROM SOFTWARE releases a game with that TONS OF CRASHES. It crashes when it wants. It could be for the bonfire lights or anyother thing. The point is that right now it's unplayable for me. So if you are going to buy it on PC, please reconsider it. Wait until they fix this SH*T.

Apr 12, 2016The game keeps crashing non stop. It crashes on bonfires, outside of bonfires, it just crashes at random places. Had 5 crashes in less then 5 hours. Plenty of people with the same problem. Do not buy.

Apr 13, 2016Currently this game is in a BUYER BEWARE state. You might get a great game, you may pay for nothing playable. Until they fix it, I can't recommend anyone buy it on PC.

Dec 1, 2016Despite 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.

CD-ActionJun 29, 2016Everything 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.

Jun 6, 2016It 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.
