    Personally, this game gets one point off due to the PvP feeling a unbalanced. That doesn't shade the fact that the game has amazing music, great references to previous games, and even the best PvE and Co-op in the entire series. Hopefully, though, they fix all the bugs and errors and make this a game to remember 100% fondly.

    Yhorm taught me how to love again. Idk why he keeps the only weapon that can kill him right next to his chair, but whatever he has a silly hat and i guess thats all that really matters

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Dark Souls 3 is a great send off of the dark souls franchise. It is the hardest game among the Dark Souls game and is the most rewarding. Once again, Miyazaki redefines the genre of this kind of game.

    This game is highly recommended for veteran souls fans and the new ones who are looking for something fresh.

    Pros:
    1) Stunning graphics
    2) Fluid combat
    3) Great level designs
    4) Great monster designs
    5) Branching paths
    6) Character creation
    7) Voice acting
    8) Character customization
    9) A huge variety of weapons

    Cons
    1) Camera angle is still bad ever since the first souls games.
    2) MUSIC IS TOO DEAFENING IN BOSS FIGHTS, if the sound volume is in default
    3) Some bosses are just cheap in design. For example, Yhorm the giant can be easily destroyed by the storm sword which can be found on his throne.    … Expand

    top 5 de la generación

    aunque no sea tan bueno e innovador como Demon's Souls 7 años antes, es un juegazo para el recuerdo
    la dificultad, el apartado artístico, los mundos y el lore, las posibilidades multijugador, todo está al máximo nivel

    Yay, Dark Souls 3! I guess? Egh...

    I can't help but feel a bit of Dark Souls fatigue here, despite nabbing the game first day and playing the living hell out of the thing, top to bottom just like 1, 2 and Bloodborne. However, the game still isn't quite up to par with Dark Souls or Bloodborne. That may not be fair, considering a whole bunch of things aren't up to par with them, but hear    Yay, Dark Souls 3!

However, the game still isn't quite up to par with Dark Souls or Bloodborne. That may not be fair, considering a whole bunch of things aren't up to par with them, but hear me out.

    Combat is more Dark Souls 1 than 2 was, and it feels nice and deliberate and satisfying like the first game. However, the one thing that sets it way behind 1 and even 2 for me is that they both favored Bloodborne's ideal of being faster rather than stronger, which is what I play Bloodborne for, From, and the fact that poise is no longer a thing. And I'm talking to you, "poise is working as intended" people. This ain't my poise. Getting stunlocked by rats while wearing full Havel gear isn't poise, it's stupid and frustrating. But of course, enemies all have normal poise because that's how good game design is done. Though, I favor the longsword and shield build, so I wasn't as affected as I could've been. But still... rats.

    Then there's the fact that Dark Souls 3 is point-for-point just Dark Souls. Same areas, same story, and even some bosses are pretty much the same. Dark Souls 2 deviated further from 1 than 3 has. Going through the game, I pretty much always went "oh, look, it's that one item from Dark Souls 1", or "oh, look, it's that one enemy from Dark Souls 1", and, "oh, look, it's that one character from Dark Souls 1", then "oh, look, it's like this one place from Dark Souls 1", and then I get to a place that actually straight up IS from Dark Souls! You're lucky it's the best area in that game and it makes sense in story context, or I would've bashed that bit more.

    This review isn't as extensive as my other Souls game reviews because there really isn't much else I can say about it. It's "another Dark Souls", and that's about it. It's still fun, it's still challenging, it's still huge with creative bosses and satisfying combat, but From has done everything they can do at this point. However, I will say that the final boss for this game is probably my favorite, or at least tied for my favorite boss in the entire series for being so amazingly thematic and a well-designed fight.

    This game is rated higher than I would've put it for one major reason: it's the last. And it certainly feels that way. The game really does feel like the final one, and I think From worked to make it feel that way. The final boss is truly an amazing sendoff to an amazing series. If you want more Dark Souls, then 3 is certainly worth your time.    … Expand

Additionally, the obvious attempt to retcon material from DS1 and 2 in a doomed attempt to make a logical story out of all this material - none of which EVER made any clear sense! - was unnecessary. So I can't give it a full 10. It is a strong, proud 9, but can't overcome the ineffable charm of the original.… Expand

    PvP is generally very spammy with players rarely using heavy attacks since constantly doing light attacks can do mostly the same damage, also some of the best parts of the previous games are missing such as Bonfire Effigies from DS2 and Vagrants and Egg head from DS1. Indeed it feels as though the game is lacking the Dark Souls charm; covenants are uninspired (except for Mound-Makers, arguably the most innovative part of DS3) and the game is the most linear Dark Souls yet.

    The 1st DLC was fun albeit short, and some mechanics like rolling are ridiculously broken to the point you can simply strip to your trousers and roll past everything.

    In summary; Dark Souls 3 is a good game but a disappointing Dark Souls game.    … Expand

    Dark Souls 3 Developed by From Software is at times the most difficult rage inducing game ever but at other times it is one of the most exciting and engaging video games in recent memory. Trust me, the game’s tagline isn’t “Prepare to Die” for nothing. It is a game where no one has a happy ending especially your character (most likely). From Software has done it again. This game is aDark Souls 3 Developed by From Software is at times the most difficult rage inducing game ever but at other times it is one of the most exciting and engaging video games in recent memory. Trust me, the game’s tagline isn’t “Prepare to Die” for nothing. It is a game where no one has a happy ending especially your character (most likely). From Software has done it again. This game is a great way to end off the Souls trilogy while being maybe the best game in the series. A minor warning: this game is very sad and depressing.

    Dark Souls 3 takes place in the kingdom of Lothric at the end of an era but it’s not just that, it’s also the end of the age of fire, pretty much the end of the world. In Dark Souls 3 you play as the “Ashen One”. Your only purpose in life is to prolong the age of fire by killing the four Lords of Cinder. They are Aldrich the Saint, The Abyss Watchers, Yhorm the Giant, and Lothric the prince who is named after the kingdom. All of this is explained in the opening cinematic. Your character wakes up in a graveyard and you start the game. This isn’t a game that has a huge story. A lot of the lore you find in item descriptions and are up to your own interpretation.

    Dark Souls is probably most famous for its bosses and as usual From Software has made another great batch of bosses which are all accompanied with their own score of music composed by a whole choir. Also, don’t worry about difficulty. This game is extremely tough! And due to their extreme difficulty after defeating them, every boss gives you an overwhelming feeling of accomplishment. The gameplay is fluid and easy to learn but hard to master. An important new addition is how fast-paced the combat is compared to the other games. This game is also very pretty. It has great graphics and runs great with minor frame rate issues. There are a lot of gigantic set pieces that made my jaw drop when I saw them. Although I have to say some of the bosses do border on unfair.

    This game might be perfect in my eyes but I can definitely see why some others might think it terrible. The game is hard and unforgiving and it’s way too dark and difficult for younger kids so don’t get this for a 10 year old on his birthday because he might break a controller or two. But if you have the patience and like a good challenge and weaving your own interpretation of a story then this game is definitely for you. I think this game is near perfect but mainly because of the frame rate issues and the slightly unfair bosses it is held back from being a masterpiece.

    - Technically the most beautiful Dark Souls (artistically Blood Borne though)
    - It sticks to what Fans love about Dark Suls and truly delivers (this is rare today)
    (- Most accessible part of the franchise)

    Con:
    - There are some bosses that are quite easy, but at least their presentation is awesome and fearful
    - There is not much innovation and everything feels a bit too familiar sometimes.

    This is a must play for every RPG fan, PS4 owner and of course DS lover.

    Out of all of the games that I have played, Dark Souls III has proven to be the only one to offer bosses that I find near impossible to defeat yet also do so without creating a sense of frustration.

These bosses are never unbeatable, never unfairly balanced. They simply require a greater level of skill, concentration and memorization than those in other games. The same can said about the enemies, as the easy enemies that can be killed in one shot that seem to be ever present in other games are hereby lacking. Instead, all of the enemies in Dark Souls offer a unique experience that the player needs to adapt to as quickly as possible in order to advance.

    Additionally, the game innovates on features from other games in a very unique way, albeit in a very similar way to the innovation found in the original Dark Souls. Instead of the random health regeneration found in other games, the player is placed with the responsibility of choosing the best time to use up the valuable estus flasks (this game's version of a health pack) that are in quite limited supply that increases as you advance in the game in order to stop it from becoming unfair. This, combined with the unbelievable variety of weapons, outfits and rings, allows for a combat experience that can't be found anywhere else. This is further enhanced by the great enemy AI but I will admit that the AI can sometimes prove to be rather idiotic, even if only in limited circumstances.

    The game's graphics are fantastic, simply a gem to look at, and the audio matches the game tone in a perfect way. The story is far from straight forward and will probably require you to read through pages of item descriptions and character dialogue in order to understand all of its complexities but the basic plot is quite easy to follow if you aren't too interested in the backstory. Some of the game's only problems are found in its sometimes complex level design. i have to say that it took me quite some time to figure out where to go in the swamp level. Also, some of the game's side-bosses can be quite hard to find without a walkthrough but I found that these problems rarely subtracted from the game's overall quality.

    In conclusion, after beating the game twice after 80 hours ( last year) I would strongly recommend this game to anyone looking for the game that is a bit more of a challenge with fluid combat. Thanks for reading. :)    … Expand

Welcome to the world of Dark souls 3. Staying true to its original roots, Dark Souls 3 takes the notorious difficulty to a whole new level. The twisted collection of horrifying enemies armed with an arsenal of endless death coupled with bigger and deadlier bosses make the challenge all too real; and the sense of impending doom originating back to the original Dark Souls is alive and well. Aside from the difficulty and the constant adversity, Dark Souls 3 also carries a hint of serenity. The artwork and graphical quality of this insane and dangerous world is at the top of its game. The kingdom of Lothric was truly brought to life through vivid imagery. The glistening sun and shimmering water; all the way down to the very trees, which seem to whisper omens of death as you pass them by. Curiosity and determination drive you forward as you explore castles, caves, catacombs and many other locations, all filled with treasure to collect; and any number of nightmarish creatures waiting to kill you. I would have to give Dark Souls a 9/10 for being an incredible game on its own, but also a perfect send-off for the Dark Souls trilogy.    … Expand

What I like about the game, are the huge variety of different worlds, different enemies, different equipment and different weapons. Though the best about the game is fighting the bosses. Trying out different weapons and helping other players make the game also enjoyable after the first playthrough. Therefore I give the game a solid 8 although it has also a lot of cons in my opinion: in PVP there is always a visual time delay (despite my high speed internet connection), what means hitting the enemy, while he is right in front of you, won't damage him but hitting into the air before he dodges towards will cause damage. Due to this, I don't like the PVP. And that leads to another disadvantage: No matter if you like PVP or not, there is always a chance that someone invades into your world, except you play offline. I think that sucks. Further con: It seems like there is a big story behind the game and the bosses in the different areas. Though within the game, the story is not really explained, what makes it especially for a newbies hard to understand. I also don't like the fact, that without following a walkthrough, it is impossible to fulfill all questlines, reach all areas and get all items. In my eyes, there should be a fair chance for the players to reach these things without checking the walkthrough. Also it kind of sucks, that with every update, they change statistics, rates, abilities of weapon, armor, spells, etc.. So you can never be sure, that the weapon / spell / armor that you prefer, won't be downgraded tomorrow. My biggest disappointment though, is that the bosses are so cool and still there is no possibility to fight them again (solo) except if you start a new game. Another big con is, that there are physical and magic attacks and you can start with different characters, such as knight, thief, sorcerer, pyromancer, cleric, etc.. Though in PVE, it's much harder to go through the game, if you use magic attacks (i.e. playing as a sorcerer, pyromancer or cleric). The handling is much more complicated, the requirement are high for useful spells and a lot of enemies and bosses are quite resistant against them. Last but not least, I don't like the fact, that many settings just can be done at the firelink shrine (kind of your base camp), as it always takes around 30-45 seconds to load an area.… Expand

Dark Souls II for me was boring. While it was fun for a short while, the lack of creativity in design and area layout began to frustrate me. The original Dark Souls was very good and important in many ways, however was exceedingly frustrating due to how awkward the combat was. Hallways and arenas were designed so tightly that the walls would constantly interrupt weapon attacks, the camera constantly gets stuck on unimportant objects, and there are many areas which instead of feeling tough yet manageable, have their odds stacked so far against the player that the difficulty stops being an obstacle to overcome, and instead becomes a wall to slowly chip apart. Often the original game feels lackluster due to how often the player will repeat the same area after dying, with no enemy encounter standing out above the rest. Dark Souls III fixes the issue of having an underwhelming combat system by changing the hallway-based design, and complements this with enemies which will absolutely annihilate any careless player. Battling an enemy is now much more dynamic. Enemies have a larger moveset, however there are almost always many weaknesses to exploit and various ways to take down any challenge in the game. While there were certainly many areas which were weaker than others, I was never let down by the cunning way each enemy was designed and placed to make each area a pain in the neck for the player. The bosses are outstanding as always, and with the improved combat are probably my favorite, above Dark Souls I and Dark Souls II. The Abyss Watchers are my favorite due to their gorgeous music and the unique feeling of teamwork present throughout the first phase of the fight. The Dancer of the Boreal Valley is another phenomenal boss due to the slippery way it moves throughout the fight. The Nameless King, while hopelessly frustrating, was intensely satisfying to finally defeat, and stands as an extremely strong optional boss. The optional areas themselves are often not too far out of the way, yet I was consistently impressed by how naturally the game guides the player through the levels, pointing out optional areas and shortcuts along the way by using enemies as a trail of breadcrumbs, moving the player from one to the next sequentially. This type of design leads to a feeling of pride by the player in discovering an optional area or an important item as they feel as though they've earned it by exploring the paths, which have been naturally laid out by the game designers. The optional areas themselves are all worth playing as well, with Archdragon Peak being one of the highlights of the game for me. There are of course frustrations as there are with any outstanding game. There are a few unpolished moments where enemies will get stuck in walls. Certain battles, especially those with two or more enemies feel a bit unfair in how enemies will double-team the player and overwhelm them with attacks which which will guard-break the player, and trap the player in inescapable damage stuns. For someone like me, who is the absolute worst at Dark Souls, these moments were intensely frustrating, and often would result in myself cheating the enemy AI in order to progress, exposing the cracks in an otherwise extremely well-designed game. I dislike how the invisible walls encourage running around blindly smacking every wall in sight in order to access huge optional areas, I dislike how the camera is still a little finicky and can sometimes be an obstacle itself to overcome. However, like all other things in Dark Souls III, adapting to this is possible, though difficult. The highlights in the game far outshine the issues, and as of right now this is the Dark Souls game I will recommend to anyone after Bloodborne. So I'm going to give Dark Souls III a 9 out of 10.… 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]

    The best Dark Souls game to pick up right now, and a fitting finale for the series. [May 2016, p.58]
