    In my opinion, Dark Souls III is the best Dark Souls in the series. The gameplay feels a lot smoother than the other games and the boss design is top tier. The level design is also amazing. The environments are beautiful to look at. There isn't much to say other than it's a masterpiece. Some gripes I have with the game are some of the visuals. Areas far in the distance look really blurryIn my opinion, Dark Souls III is the best Dark Souls in the series. The gameplay feels a lot smoother than the other games and the boss design is top tier.

    Dark Souls III is an amazing end to the Dark Souls trilogy and ultimately feels like a mash-up of all the best moments from Demon's Souls, Dark Souls I & II, and Bloodborne. Some people may feel that the game lacks originality for this reason and pays too many homages, but for me it was a great send-off to the series.

    Dark Souls 3 is literally the most underrated game ever, rather than the embarrassment to gaming that was Dark Souls 2, this game is a redemption to the terrible sequel to the Dark Souls masterpiece. Must Play!

    After Bloodborne i had to get more. I bought Dark Souls 3 for 9.99 euro's at the ps store. The bargin of the Century. Bloodborne is better but i've played more Ds3 157 hours that's not including the dlc. Beatiful lore and facinating story From software had done it again!

    My most favorite FromSoftware game so far. A lot of cool-looking bosses with great difficulty (definitely harder than any bosses from any other FromSoftware games), various armor sets and weapons, great PvP system,...

    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.

    A very good game, but it doesn't come close to Bloodborne or Sekiro. It just isn't innovative enough for being the third game in the series. Still very fun and challenging.

    It's an amazing game. That's for sure. The visuals are just awesome and project a dark, lonely and sad atmosphere. The soundtrack is easily one of the best of the last years and the general sounds of the game are inmersive and very scary sometimes. The levels are made in a great way, so you feel rewarded when reaching a new area. The bosses are, at least most of them, very dynamic, fluidIt's an amazing game. That's for sure.

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.

    This game offers some of the greatest soundtracks and visual effects, incredibly fluid combat, multiplayer perfectly blended with singleplayer, worthwhile DLC, and a lot more.

    This game also has excellent replay value thanks to its brilliant NG+ just like in any other 'Soulsborne' game. I personally prefer Bloodborne's combat and lore but Dark Souls III was a perfect way to end such a great series.

    JUEGAZO en todos los aspectos, bosses y enemigos impresionantes lo único reprochable fue el final, tal vez le faltó justamente un poco de "alma" ya que es el final de la saga pero es algo que no te quita la experiencia de juego para nada. Sublime

    Dark Souls 3 is a masterpiece. The fascinating story, the challenging but accessible gameplay, and the setting are all of what makes this game amazing. Multiplayer is also very fun! Overall, one of my favorite games!

    Awesome game, 60 fps patch was awesome, yet ps4 pro cant give 60 fps all the time ;(
    Peer to peer system killing online play for everyone. Pvp transformed into lag fest where winner is the one with worst connection. From software just spit on players 5 games in a row with it, yet continues to do that.

    7/10 for me
    The game is good but it has its problems 1the areas are mostly boring 2even 4 years later it's still broken there's a lot of popin and the hit boxes are broken
    3the game overstays it's welcome after getting to archdragon peak I was already really burnt on the game which is really bad considering that that's only about half the game not to mention all the dlc 4 compared to ds1

    However there's still a lot of good in the game 1the bosses are awesome
    2the soundtrack is great
    3the combat is fun enough
    So in conclusion the game is worth it as long as it under 40 bucks or its your first souls game

    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]
