    A masterpiece of brooding epic fantasy with incredible moments and depth that more than make up for any small bugs or such. Jaw dropping game, in so many ways, and a great entry point for souls.

    Bueno, puse mi opinión en la de PC pero lo estoy jugando en PS4, así que lo escribo por aquí. El juego es una absoluta obra maestra y las batallas contra bosses son las mejores que he visto jamás. Pero tengo 2 pegas que no son muy importantes pero allí están:
    La primera, es que el juego va a veces mal en PS4 pero no es molesto, es muy puntual. Y segundo, las questlines son muy aleatorias y    Bueno, puse mi opinión en la de PC pero lo estoy jugando en PS4, así que lo escribo por aquí.

    This series started a genre.
    The graphics are amazing, the game design is amazing. The lore is seemingly non-existent, but if you read item descriptions (or youtube VaatiVidya) it is amazing.
    Tight controls, brilliant boss battles, stunning environments. I find this game has endless replayability. Perhaps my favourite game ever.

    Is it really THAT good?
    No. It's even better. From atmosphere and soundtrack, to gameplay and everything in between is a pure work of art!

    Followed the 1&2 worldview, full of the feeling of the end of the world.
    Even more surprising enemy configuration. More despicable ways of fighting.
    Must-Play In your game life.

    Моя любимая игра в серии, уступает лишь бладборну. В игре всё на высшем уровне: музыка, визуал, количество и качество контента, босс-файты и особенно DLC, коих здесь два. Минусов я не обнаружил, помимо любовь Миядзаки к самокопированию (что в принципе обоснованно сюжетно) и полная бесполезность некоторых билдов, которые были в предыдущих частях очень даже ничего.

    The combat is the absolute best, you can't ask for something better than this. Attacking, managing stamina and dodging at the precise time are a gaming art as the punishment for being overconfident is right around the corner. Bosses aren't as memorable as in Souls 1 but they are still good (my highlight is the Nameless King, visually, lorewise and the fight itself) in the main game and astronomically awesome in the DLCs (Midir, Friede and Gael).
    Changing builds add a lot of replayability because a section that is easy for a caster maybe harder for a melee and vice-versa. You can respec your status 5 times per playthrough so if you don't feel like going to NG+ with the same guy, just change your build before going.
    The online system is the same from other games however now you can summon 3 guys to co-op. Being ganked by 4 dudes when invading is not the greatest thing in the world and if you don't have an insane ability (mastering spacing and parrying to the fullest besides pivot and rolling back-stabbing) and patience you're gonna die and get frustrted. But you can always play at certain soul levels to avoid ganks (they are rarer at SL60 for example and it is a popular level for PvP) or just jump straight into the arena for a one-on-one honorable duel.
    Anyway, this is just what you would expect form a Dark Souls game and although some might say it doesn't reinvent the wheel, I'd argue that the execution is so perfect that they don't have to push boundaries (besides you can always check Sekiro or Bloodborne for a "different Dark Souls tone"). Beating a hard boss after trying for hours by memorizing their combos and exploring their weaknesses it is still the best thing one can experience in a video game; the feeling of getting better and overcoming a hard obstacle not because your character is stronger but because you, the player, became stronger is still done perfectly    … Expand

    Dark Souls III rarely innovates, but it experiments within the Souls parameters to grotesque and glorious effect. Another Game of The Year contender, then. [June 2016, p.81]

    Dark Souls III is all-consuming, it’ll drive you up the wall, and the sense of accomplishment you’ll get when everything clicks and you go on to finish that final boss... well, it’s simply beyond compare [June 2016, p70]
