    Dark Souls 3 is the best part in the Trilogy.
    After completing DS2 I’ve diced to rewrite my old essays, and now I think DS3 is my favorite dark souls game.The gameplay became much faster in-spite of the success of Bloodborne fast gameplay, when u don’t have any shields and u need to rely on your reflexes and make successful dodges.Because of that gameplay became skillful and action-based.

    There a lot of good bosses on the main game (Lothric and Lorain, Soul of Cinder, Abyss Watchers, Oldrich, Nameless King, Pontiff Sulyvahn ) that are really interesting and provide unique and good fight experience.And bosses from DLCs in most cases are great.Only Slave Knight Gael is one the best FromSoft bosses,lore,ost,location of this boss provides perfect experience to the player.Also there’s a Darkeater Midir, the Hardest Boss of DS3 ( for me ), also has very intense fight, good ost, awesome looking arena, and good lore and design of f boss gives a player fair and very hard experience.The same situation Sister Fiede and Father Ariandel has.All this bosses are really good.
    Locations of the game are “next-level” comparing with DS2 and ds1, locations are interesting to explore and have well-build level-design.For example of good level-design are Irythill the Boreal Valley - Anor Londo, Great Wall of Lothric, Ringed City, Achedragon Peak are my favorite ones from the game with DLC.
    The whole story is hugely connected with Dark Souls 1, and how Aldia Scholar of the first Sin once said that Gwyn made a First Sin linking the fire , and because of that the worlds of Dark Souls started collapsing.And the result of that we can see in the game.And the stories of Lords of Cinder are really interesting especially Lothrics and Lorians.DLCs share one story, and it is as good as games story, the story of Gael and his Ladies Painting that will save every living being from this fading world is awfully interesting and really sad.When you witness last breaths of this world, and these last attempts to save only the people of this world, not the world itself is tearing me apart.
    I really like this game, for its lore, gameplay and DLCs but Bloodborne,Sekiro,Elden Ring I consider better ones that this game.But it is still a really good game.

    What a game! Probably the most freedom and difficulty I‘ve ever experienced in a videogame. It‘s presentation is also really beautiful (for the most part). It is not flawless though. Newcomers will struggle with most of the bosses and exploration. I really like the lack of a map; since that encourages exploration and a strong sense of orientation.

    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.    … Expand

    Dark Souls 3 is fun. Definitely. The souls series is known for being extremely difficult. But personally I find there is a disconnect between being tough and being fair in DS3.

    It may be more of a refinement than than a leap forward, but Dark Souls III combines the best aspects of Dark Souls with Bloodborne's faster paced combat and exciting boss battles to make it arguably the best game in the core "Souls" franchise.

    A very astonishing game that equalizes gameplay style and difficulty level. Bosses are well designed with flamboyant rut. Some places are bit ennuied but the over gameplay is tremendously preferable

    9.5/10 This game is great, i wish you could do a dash/dodge move instead of roll, like in bloodborne and sekiro. the optional Nameless king and the DLC boss's are where the real fun begins. For sure best souls game of the 3

    -Beautiful story with a beautiful setting, very dark and deep
    -Very high replayability (there are a lot of fantastic builds that you can try out)
    -It contains some of the worst design problems that i've ever seen (like the camera or the **** up
    hit-boxes)
    -Not so friendly with new players (that are new to the saga)
    Overall a nice and enjoyable game but in my opinion lazily coded

    DS3 has the most challenging and exciting bossfights of all the serie. Even though all the settings are ispired by the first DS, It still manages to be original. Bosses and settings both have great designs and the difficulty Is perfectly balanced. DS3 Is One of the best games i have ever played.

    La ultima entrega de la trilogía de Dark Souls es maravillosa de principio a fin, pero lamentablemente la formula Souls se siente levemente como innova realmente muy poco con el pasar de DS1, DS2 hasta DS3. Y además el sistema de armaduras pesadas deja mucho que pesar, en el primer juego si valía la pena usarlas, pero en cambio aquí solo da más protección que las otras armaduras.

    The feeling of struggling against a world on its last legs is captured beautifully in Dark Souls 3. Yet amidst the misery and oppressive environments, you encounter those who continue their fight, who still seek purpose as the world crumbles around them.

    I fell head over heels for Dark Souls 3 not long after starting it. My top 3 favorite boss fights are in this game and I can still remember when I beat each of them for the first time. Nothing compares to the feeling of wielding a greataxe, donning heavy armor, and slaughtering everything that gets in your way.

    DS3 provides an incredible experience and it's the best one I have ever had.    … Expand

    My 2nd FromSoftware game and man ... I can't tell you how many time I've beated the game and it's DLC. One of my all time favorite game. The sheer amount of enemies, all the hidden area if you explore a bit, the bosses, the pvp ... It's game is a gem. Sure for newcomers the game might be hard, but don't be afraid to jump in because it doesn't take that long to understand the game mechanics.
