    A near perfect installment in one of the greatest franchises in video game history.

    Overall great game. Gorgeous world, lots to explore, tough bosses (most of the time), great combat, and I really liked how this tied into the original dark souls through out the story unlike Dark Souls 2. If you played the first two Dark Souls and Demon's Souls you know what you are in store for. Enjoy!!!

    Just started playing this last night, already clocked 9 hours, the graphics are stunning, combat is fluid and the music and voice acting IS PHENOMENAL. I love dark souls so much and if this truly is the final dark souls game, itll be a sad day for us all. But bittersweet, because we're sent off with a final stunning entry in this amazing series. Thank you FromSoftware.

    - boss design is great, feeling like a mix between DS1 and Bloodborne. Plenty of memorable and challenging fights, as well as a couple poor ones (looking at you, Cursed Rotted Greatwood). -musical score is phenomenal, rivaling the first game. -the hitboxes are some of the most    Pros:

    -the hitboxes are some of the most accurate I've ever seen.

    Cons:
    -camera issues are still pretty apparent. These issues still haven't been addressed since the first game.
    -3 poison swamp areas. I mean, come on.
    -graphics aren't as good as they could be, with Bloodborne looking much sharper.
    -doesn't feel fresh and new. Too much of the game feels recycled from previous entries.
    -you still have to level up at a hub like in DS2 rather than at bonfires like in DS1. I never understood this decision. It feels tedious.

    Overall, this game is definitely worth your time and $60 if you enjoyed Bloodborne and DS1. It's a major improvement from DS2 and seems like it's genuinely trying to build upon what makes the series great.    … Expand

    Well, if there was a best first impression award to any game, I wouldn’t even need to think about which game deserved it.

For this game is difficult,Well, if there was a best first impression award to any game, I wouldn’t even need to think about which game deserved it. From the get-go this game tells you that it’s going to be fair to you, but also make you want to destroy everything you can in a ten metre radius. But just writing this game off as hard would be doing the genius work a massive disservice. For this game is difficult, punishing and unrelenting for all the right reasons. The bosses all have fast, but predictable move-sets, and the true art of the game is recognising this and using an enemy’s weakness to your advantage. Secrets are also littered all throughout the depressing world that Dark Souls III takes place in, some rewarding you with unique weapons, others with terrifying beasts that are true pains to defeat, and even entire levels ripe with enemies and unique bosses are held as secrets.. I love that they incorporated some of the speed from Bloodborne into the game, although not as much. It shows in the enemies, some of which are incredibly fast, requiring you to dodge, parry and fat-roll to even stand a chance. The sheer number of weapons also never fails to astound me, as even in very specific groups such as Great-Hammers, there are still plenty of weapons there. Every build, from a swift person who wears rags and jumps around with a dagger, to a fat tank that takes very little damage from anything, but dishes out a giant amount, is viable, although some might be better suited other situations. But, alas, in a game that puts such and emphasis on bosses, just one boss fight can drag the game down quickly. And I found this out with the penultimate boss, who was an absolute annoyance to fight. But one thing that this game does miles better than anything else on the market, is the music. The melancholy soundtrack is based around a choir and stringed instruments, while some scores experiment with brass and bells. Even from the main screen, you understand very clearly that the game is going to posses an amazing soundtrack, and Dark Souls III doesn’t disappoint in this front at all. In fact, I’d go as far to say this is the greatest soundtrack to emerge out of gaming. Yes, I said it, and it’s not meant to be exaggeration. I mean it. The graphics are up next, and I can’t help but say this game looks quite nice. The backdrops of some locations can just look drop-dead gorgeous, while some things are just not pleasant to the eyes whatsoever. The colour scheme is also sadly limited to, for eighty percent of the game’s length, grey, brown, black, red and yellow. And, yes, I acknowledge the fact that this is meant to symbolise the atmosphere of gloom and dread, and it does make other locations stand out, but the abstinence of another less other than its pallet can drag down the experience. The lore in this game, and really in any modern From Software RPG, is cryptic at best, and hard to understand, but the main premise that you, the Ashen One, must kill all Lords of Cinder to keep a fire alight, prolonging the Age of Fire, and keeping the world from becoming darker than it already is. As with bugs, I’ve encountered none, except one extremely frustrating crash, in one of the most loathed areas in the entire series, that deleted not only the character I was playing as, but also every single other character. Aside from these gripes, Dark Souls III will not be forgotten by me for years to come. Its fast paced combat, that includes hundreds of various weapons and shields, its unforgettable bosses that made me run around the house like a madman and its incredible approach to level design. This is the end of the Souls series, and what better way to end a series than making a masterpiece?… Expand

The atmosphere is always top notch, the challenge is still ever present and it is a treat for long time fans and yet still strong enough to be good for newcomers as well. It still has issues as well: PVP is downplayed, game feels much shorter, graphical/technical issues at launch, fair share of bad bosses and enemy concepts still and trying a bit too much to grasp the power that Bloodborne achieved.

    A masterpiece
    The main criticism of Dark Souls III is that its world isn't as encapsulating and flexible as past Soulsborne games. Apart from a handful of branches that lead to dead-ends, the path is laid before you in a rather straightforward manner. While the environments aren't lifted straight from past Souls games, they go through the gamut of washed-out castles, temples, forests, and    A masterpiece

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.… Expand

Desde el inicio hay que ir con cuidado para no morir aunque si morimos no hay problema este es un juego de probar nuevas maneras de afrontar el reto como en las anteriores entregas.

    La ambientación y diseño de niveles vuelve a ser importante y se corrigieron errores cometidos en la segunda entrega. Hay gran cantidad de enemigos y todos son diferentes y agresivos pero tendremos una gran variedad de escudos para protegernos y armas que podremos mejorar bastante y de diferentes maneras para que las adecuemos según creamos que sea lo mejor para derrotar a tal enemigo. Adicionalmente obtendremos hechizos y piromancias que básicamente lo resumo en magia estos se obtienen de diferentes maneras los mas fáciles son de pago con almas dentro del juego pero serán los mas básicos, al final de cuentas esto hará los combates muy divertidos y variados.

    Algo que hace especial a este juego es que desde que encontremos nuestro primer ítem nos revelara partes de la historia del juego como un gigantesco rompecabezas, ya que la misma se narra atreves de los NPC´s que nos encontremos en el camino las pocas cinematicas y los ítems así que aquí todo es importante.

    En resumen tenemos un juego solido con grandes combates finales, gran historia y ambientación, divertido a mas no poder, y con componentes online que mejoran al original ya que podremos encontrar a nuestros amigos de una manera mas fácil y como siempre podemos ayudar a jugadores que ni siquiera conocemos o podremos estropearle la aventura a otros jugadores invadiéndolos y estropeando su avance, esto se escucha sencillo pero hay unos "PACTOS" que haremos dentro del juego con NPC´s que nos darán recompensas según lo que decidamos hacer o ayudar o eliminar a la persona online.

    One of my favourite games. Not at the level of Bloodborne, but almost as good, pure From Software.

    The DLCs are very solid and a good complement to the game.

    História : 10/10

    Mais que um jogo, uma obra de arte!!! Foi o responsável por me levar a jogar a franquia souls. Trilha sonora perfeita, chefes bem feitos e detalhados, fases bem trabalhadas. O único quesito que o jogo peca e a jogabilidade, que às vezes trava e demora para responder alguns comandos, mas, em geral um jogo ótimo.

    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.

    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.    … Expand

I will say though the game aesthetically looks really good, and really helps shape the world. The bosses are really cool, however their difficulty is a little bit too easy overall. Don't get me wrong - nameless king, prince lothric, champion gundyr, the pontiff are all challenging bosses but the rest of them are fairly straightforward (maybe its just cause i have played other souls games). The difficulty arc though is better than ds1, progressing very well. DS2 while it certainly had its faults - as you can see in my review of it - made me feel a big sense of adventure, traversing through its many landscapes and killing its many bosses (while DS3 hasn't given me that same feeling) , and in general is an underrated game. Overall DS3 is a great game, but just lacks the originality of the first game, and isn't as grand of an adventure as ds2 for mine.… Expand

    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.

Improving from 2 in many different ways, and maybe even a bit of the first. It offers some of the best bosses in the series, tons of areas to explore, and some new secrets that'll want players checking to find for hours just before getting to the final boss.

    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.    … Expand

    this game grew over me really well ! .. i played it a lot back in 2016 but nowadays im back at it playing it more and more ! , i like it more now for some reason , maybe because of the new DS : remaster ! ! .. who knows .. anyway .. even in 2016 this was a 10 /10 game , new content also added more fun and challenge . i envy new players who can play the main game+the DLC in one sitting !

    This game is an absolute gem. I can still hear the music from Dancer of the Boreal Valley fight. I can still feel the pain from dying over and over again to the Nameless King, as well as the overflowing joy from besting such a formidable adversary. Let the flames guide thee.

    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.    … Expand

    Dark souls III is the epitome of the "Souls-like" experience. Combat has been refined to the maximum for single player and PvP purposes.

    Let me preface this by saying, READ the user reviews. Theres bots, many saying the same thing, giving it a 10/10. Im not saying From did it, but I'm also Not saying they Didnt. Now, onto how this game was developed- They read all the hate Dark Souls 2 got for being boring lazy and easy, so they just said "screw it" and copy and pasted bloodborne enemies until its impossible to even moveLet me preface this by saying, READ the user reviews. Theres bots, many saying the same thing, giving it a 10/10. Im not saying From did it, but I'm also Not saying they Didnt. Now, onto how this game was developed- They read all the hate Dark Souls 2 got for being boring lazy and easy, so they just said "screw it" and copy and pasted bloodborne enemies until its impossible to even move without 6 (of the same exact) enemies pushing you up against a corner. Just extremely lazy attempt at "difficulty", when 1 on 1, the enemies are easy as hell. Its just awful. You cant fight 3 bloodborne dogs and 3 enemies that can teleport and spam magic. Or any of the other examples of awful, literally unwinnable enemy placement. That isnt combat. Thats just lazy. Oh. And theres of course things you will never find unless you look them up on google (google -aka fromsofts excuse for a quest guide), but I **** you not, theres a weapon that you need to kill a boss, and there 0 way youd ever know how to use it without looking it up. Literally 0 indication of what to do, how to use it, anywhere in the game. You hold down L2 to use weapon skills right? Obvious. Great. But would you ever think to hold it down for SIX SECONDS WHEN THERE A BOSS RUNNING AT YOU? 6 S E C O ND S??? Thats just bad game design. You cant damage a MAINLINE BOSS unless you GUESS to hold down L2 for SIX SECONDS. (YOU DONT HAVE 6 seconds except for ooonnnneee moment in the fight) I mean cmon guys. Everyone knows that you cant excuse that. Oh. And when you beat that boss, you get teleported to the next one. Youd think, oh if I die, I'll just get to retry, right? hahahahahaha what are you, logical? This is Fromsoft. You die, and then get sent back to the last bonfire. So you go back to the boss room, and theres a bonfire there....but where is...the.... boss? Youknow? The one i just fought? Can i figure out where it is? Ask someone in the game surely? No. Oh. Its that bad, huh? I have to reach out to the "Fromsoft Quest Guide( google.com)" oh, but nobody has actually played this far and there misinformation everywhere, nowhere can i find where to go. Lol but 10/10. Maybe play the game before going onto message boards to defend the indefensible. Speaking of indefensible- the input lag, queuing, and hitboxes. As we have seen more recently with the terrible dropped inputs and hitboxes of Sekiro, and the awful input queuing and dodge lag of Elden Ring, clearly whoever used to be in charge of making that aspect feel smooth just isnt at the company any more. It feels extremely clunky, and it only got worse when Elden Ring iterated upon it.This game was when it started to rear it's ugly head ot seems. And its a shame that their older games have better dodge mechanics and less input lag. Technology should improve. And there isnt an excuse. Another thing- Balancing and progression- a foreign term to this development team. I'm on the final boss and I just realized the **** stick with a couple nails sticking out of it (from the beginning of the game) is literally more powerful than any other weapon, whether from a Lord or not. That's not balancing. Sorry. You know what else is dumb? How for about 50% of the game, your best move is developing into the vitality stat, to up your equip load and damage negation, as every other stat has a crazy low first soft cap. It's almost as if they didnt play their own game lol So, anwyays, I beat this game. It felt extremely hollow, as the last boss is just completely down to RNG and input lag whether you can win, and I beat with a **** stick, since it was stronger than weapons enchanted with godly powers. One of the worst experiences I've had in a game.… Expand

    Many have tried to duplicate the formula and many have failed and many game companies will continue to fail. When some one says "It's like Dark Souls " My response always . .. Nah probably not. I have put close to 400 hours into this game.

    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 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]
