    This was my first souls game, and I must say that it was one of the most addicting experiences I've ever had. The areas are stunning, the bosses are absolutely badass, and the combat mechanics are by far the best of the entire series.

    Dark Souls 3 is a game that ranges from epic and impressive to a bit disappointing. Most of the time the experience is positive.

Writing as a hardcore fan of the series, I found the flaws were not enough to hold the game back, but they are often right upfront and center.

    For brevity's sake, I'll list the main factors: the framerate is often deplorable, glitches are occasional and sometimes frustrating. If you've played the other games, you may not like how many things in this game you've seen before. The level design is not the series' peak but sometimes approaches it. But in the end the entire package is well worth the time spent

    Sechs Jahre nach Demon's Souls schließt sich der Kreis mit einem weiteren ausgezeichneten Spielerlebnis, das Dark Souls 2 übertrifft.

Es gibt natürlich viele Déjà-vus hinsichtlich des reduzierten Storytellings sowie innerhalb der ebenso verfluchten wie verwunschen anmutenden Welt, die man nach den ersten Toden mit Respekt erkundet. Auch dieses Dark Souls 3 bleibt die sarkastische Grinsekatze, die mal entspannt schnurrt und lockt, bevor sie plötzlich hysterisch faucht und mit einer Tatze tödlich zuschlägt. Die Welt sieht nicht nur fantastisch aus, ihr Aufbau und die Verknüpfungen sowie Abkürzungen erinnern angenehm an das erste Dark Souls - auch wenn es etwas zu viel Komfort gibt, was Teleports, Reparaturen und Leuchtfeuerdistanzen betrifft. Aber hinzu kommen wichtige frische Impulse: Aus künstlerischer Sicht lässt hier und da der apokalyptische Horror eines Bloodborne grüßen, die erzählerischen Leitmotive Asche, Glut und Feuer sorgen aber für genug eigenständigen Charakter. Dieser dritte Teil ist nicht nur größer, abwechslungsreicher und auch lebendiger designt, was Nichtspielercharaktere betrifft. Er markiert hinsichtlich der situativen Spannung auch einen neuen Höhepunkt: Die Verwandlungen der Kreaturen sorgen für mehr Unberechenbarkeit und vor allem die neuen Kampfmanöver erhöhen die Experimentierfreude mit anderen Waffen sowie den taktischen Anspruch, weil sie auch effektiv von der KI eingesetzt werden - derart dramatische Duelle gegen Ritter und Phantome gab es bisher in keinem Souls. Auch wenn die Bildratenprobleme auf den Konsolen sowie die physikalischen Inkonsequenzen nach all den Jahren ärgerlich sind, inszeniert From Software ein hoch spannendes, unheimlich ansehnliches Abenteuer.

Also, I honestly prefer DS I and II's slower gameplay style to the more aggressive style of DS III; I think this aggressive style works in Bloodborne, but a lot of the tension is taken away from DS III when I can just roll 15 times away to safety. It wasn't a big irk of mine but I never felt the same sort of tension I did in I and II, where I was running low on stamina and needed to play it safe and conserve my hits.

    Before writing a review, I want to say that I did not play Dark Souls, Dark Souls II and Demon Souls, but I will definitely pass them. I got into this game through the wonderful Bloodborne.
    Let's start with the design level. I liked him less than in BloodBorne. In BloodBorne, locations are much more connected and felt as a whole, this is especially felt when there you can go half way

    Let's start with the design level. I liked him less than in BloodBorne. In BloodBorne, locations are much more connected and felt as a whole, this is especially felt when there you can go half way through the game to the very beginning. In dark souls this is much less. The game itself is quite beautiful. Locations are different, beautiful and interesting.
    Bosses. In the original game, bosses are worse than in dlc. Practicing with BloodBorne for From Software is the norm. The design of the bosses is good, the bosses are memorable and interesting.
    Complexity in the game is much higher than in Bloodborne. This is especially reflected in the DLC.
    Gameplay this game is much better than Bloodborne Here you can go through the game as a magician, there is a huge amount of different spells that I haven’t understood yet, I will do this further in the second pass. Also here you can go pyromance, etc. With this variety, the game is fascinating. But for me personally, the game is not as strongly hooked as bloodborne, the music and locations are good here, but worse than in bloodborne, and so can be said about a lot of things. I advise the game to absolutely everyone, it is excellent.

    Um encerramento perfeito para a trilogia Dark Souls. A Fromsoftware voltou as origens trazendo um jogo que evolui tudo que vimos até agora na franquia e deixa maior e mais desafiador. O único ponto negativo é que o level desing está bem mais linear comparado ao Dark Souls 1, 2 e ao Bloodborne, podendo ser comparado ao próprio Demon's Souls de 2009.

    To praise Dark Souls as a series seems to be akin to noticing that grass is green. However, the praise isn't undue - this is an absolutely gripping game once you're able to get past the admittedly steep learning curve.

    I played this game after completing the first Dark Souls game, and was nearly alienated from the game by the speedier combat and change in camera angle. And like many have, I felt an urge to quit. But, as many have discovered before me, pushing past the spikes in difficulty led to a feeling of great accomplishment and an incomparable experience.

    Whereas its predecessors were arguably even less accessible and obtuse, Dark Souls 3 goes back to the basics of the first game, yet improves and streamlines so many features without sacrificing the series' essence. Moreover, the game is still phenomenally difficult, but allows skilled players to potentially succeed on their first try at a boss. And what's more, these bosses are entirely engaging even when they aren't insanely hard to beat. Yet for the masochists among masochists out there, the DLC bosses (especially those from The Ringed City DLC) dial the difficulty up to outrageous levels - from my experience, Darkeater Midir in particular proved to be a near-insurmountable challenge at first.

    The sound design, music, performance and gameplay and just about every detail in this game is fantastic. And while Dark Souls 3 is not for everyone (as the initial barrier to entry can seem quite high due to its difficulty), those who push through will see why this game has amassed such a devoted fanbase. This one is easily my favourite of the 3 Dark Souls games, and I can't help but recommend that anyone who's ever enjoyed fantasy action RPGs give this game a shot.

    I really like the lack of a map; since that encourages exploration and a strong sense of orientation. This exact thing also lead to not really knowing where to go after a certain point; which was annoying.

    What I didnt like was the extreme difficulty spikes and drops with certain bosses. I understand its (for the most part) an open world game where different players encounter bosses at different times; but about 5 hours in, the boss-difficulty spikes through the f***ing roof; dropping immediately on the one that follows. Linearity in that case would‘ve considerably helped iron out the inconsistency.

Improving from 2 in many different ways, and maybe even a bit of the first.

    This game starts of at the Cemetery of Ash after finding out you need to bring down the four lords of cinder to link the first flame.... just like the previous two games, sure it lacks originality but it has the second best souls game bosses almost topping Bloodborne. The bossfights are epic, apart from a few I had my mouth open meeting these bosses like twin princes and Pontiff and the soundtracks with them are amazing and epic. I never got bored throughout my play-through and loved some of the areas although some are boring and bland. The NPC quest are great as well although I didn't complete them all. By the end you will feel satisfied with this being the last dark souls game no matter which of the four endings you get.

    Ashes of Ariandel is a fine DLC which sadly doesn't go longer than I hoped for and one of the worst bosses in the souls series with the gravetender. But you will forget all the disappointing elements because you get to verse one of the best bosses in the series in Sister Friede and holy crap this fight is tough but intense, I love it.

    The Ringed City is a massive improvement over the first DLC and is actually almost flawless, I love the journey to the ringed city and all but one boss in the DLC which is Darkeater Midir (just because he is tanky and a hard hitter), but once again you reach the end to fight the perfect boss Gael, a reflection of yourself, trust me when you fight him you will be mouth wide open the entire time.

    I can't recommend this game to everyone but if you want to try a dark souls game that is known for boss fights, this is the one I recommend. All souls fans will of played this game and I can see why it is arguably one of the best.

    Like Bloodborne, this is very much a thinking man's game. If you're a gaming journalist and only like walking simulators and interactive movies, you won't like DS3 because it's """"too hard"""". If you actually do like video games, you'll like this game. Also if you do play this game and you actually manage to die to the tutorial boss, just stop playing. Video games obviously aren't for you.

    JUGABILIDAD:
    En este título, y por fin, la jugabilidad es rápida y fluida lo que en juegos anteriores no ocurría. Esto hace del gameplay mucho mas disfrutable y adictivo.
    La cantidad de armas, hechizos, milagros y piromancias parece aumentar. Aunque claro que hay muchos "repetidos" respecto a títulos anteriores, también hay muchos nuevos que le dan una ligera variedad a la jugabilidad. Además, los materiales para subir de nivel las armas (o imbuirlas) son mucho mas abundantes ésta vez por lo que podemos probar varias sin tener que elegir que una sola para llevarla al máximo poder.

    Por su parte, diseño de escenarios es excelente, superior a los anteriores y casi a la altura de Bloodborne. La interconexión es buena y la inmersión, sin abusar de las áreas a nivel de hacerlas laberínticas a lo ridículo, está bien lograda.
    El diseño de enemigos es un gran complemento y hacen match perfecto con dichas áreas. Eso sí, seguimos con los ya conocidos enemigos que hacen sus combos de 1989 golpes ininterrumpibles.

    Los jefes son memorables e infinitamente superiores a los vistos en Dark Souls II, no solo en diseño sino en moveset y arenas de combate. Además, aquí ya encontramos las transformaciones/segundas fases (como las vistas en Bloodborne) que hacen las batallas más complicadas e interesantes.
    Como siempre, podemos invocar ayuda de npc (menos rotos que los vistos en DS) u otros jugadores para ayudarnos, (gracias al que me ayudó contra el Pontífice Sulyvahn, se que no hice mucho, pero no lo habría logrado sin ti lol).

    Por lo demás, tenemos zonas ya vistas en DS y otras DEMASIADO similares a áreas del primer título, lo que claramente le quita un poco de mérito.

    GRÁFICOS:
    El primer Dark Souls que es bueno visualmente.

    El diseño y detalle de escenarios es sencillamente delicioso: las cinemáticas son muy buenas y la narrativa de las mismas es riquísima. el diseño de enemigos es muy bueno. ¿La cámara? Salvo cierto Boss en especifico, aquel montado en un ser alado, es funcional. Primer juego en la saga en que no pierdo por culpa de un mal diseño y funcionalidad de la cámara, o malos ángulos de visión (salvo el jefe ya mencionado).

    Por vez primera en la trilogía puedo decir que disfrute de VER el juego.

    SONIDO:
    Solo empezar la canción tema, antes incluso de dar el primer click, nos queda claro la altísima calidad de la banda sonora. Y es todo lo que tengo que decir al respecto... excepto que ese track de los Vigilantes del Abismo. Wow

    INNOVACIÓN:
    El agregado de dotar a las armas con habilidades o trucos definitivos es bueno. Pocas veces me aprecio útil in-game, pero se agradece. El gran aumento de ítems es también un buen valor pero, como ya dije, el juego peca de repetitivo con respecto a ciertos escenarios y el diseño de otros.

    This game has some bad touches for example: some mini-bosses are more difficult than some bosses and it doesn't have the same essence that you first game has, but removing small details, it's a completely recommendable game for people who like challenges.

    + Great combat with new weapon arts
    + Epic and challenging bosses with best soundtracks
    + Large content and DLCs are excellent

    - There are so few interesting areas. Most of the areas are boring and not connected to each other. It's world design is not as good as other dark souls games and bloodborne.

    Dark Souls III is the perfect end to the Souls series. It is the pinnacle of From Software's beloved franchise in terms of gameplay, visuals and sound. Boasting some of the most interesting areas and boss fights ever, Dark Souls III is an incredible joy to play and will go down in video game history as one of the best games of all time. This game is a must-play for Souls fans as well as newcomers.

Maybe there are a couple of bosses that are just too easy to kill. The game also lacks of better mechanics when talking about replaying it. After you beat it and go for the New Game + it just feels more of the same.

    It's a great game of this generation, and maybe the best of the trilogy. It gathered the best of From Software games and put it in a masterpiece, and that`s the end that Dark Souls needed.

    Therefore, I believe that Dark Souls III is my first true Souls game, and it was spectacular. The challenge was extremely fun to overcome, and the medieval dark fantasy aesthetic along with the glorious music helped to immerse me into the world and the boss fights. There was a tragic beauty with the characters you meet and with the character you play. The reward in the satisfaction when overcoming the difficulty of the bosses is the defining feature of Souls game, and it was what drew me to it and I've been hooked ever since.

Great game and every Boss you finish gives you a good feeling ;) Unfortunately I have to say I did not finish it...DS3 won when I had to face the 2 princes...I cannot win against them, I do not have the patience anymore trying it. But it was a good ride until here and I liked it very much.

    Simply put, not as good as the first but a lot better than the second game and is a great addition and a satisfying conclusion to the Souls series.

    There is not a lot to be said about DS3 that hasn't been said already. The game is a visual masterpiece and the gameplay is intense. It also features some of the most grandiose boss fights you can get in modern AAA gaming.

    I do feel as though some of the level designs and areas are a bit less inspired than previous entries (DS1 & BB still being the better contenders for 10/10, "best in the series" spots) and the frame pacing issues are still somewhat present on console (though not as bad as bloodborne) but once you get used to it, the game's performance is serviceable and runs well.

    I actually found many of the areas in-between boss fights to be more challenging than the bosses themselves which was the opposite of my experience in DS1 (the only other souls game I had played prior to DS3). Having played BB since, I can see why some may have felt as though there were too many similarities between the two, but to be honest I think DS3 does a fantastic job at remain true to the soul "spirit" in its art direction, character cameos and gameplay to be an amazing game in its own right.

    If you are a fan of fast-paced, challenging yet rewarding gameplay and somehow have still not yet played the Sekiro/Soulsborne series, DS3 is simply put an absolute must buy!
