    Unbelievably hard and beautiful, the effort you put on this definitely pays off. It's even better when u play with friends, imagine a 4-people party playing together while being invaded, it's so much fun that i can't even describe.

    My first Souls like game, after playing in I bought all parts of DS and became a big fan of this series. After going through all the DS, I can say that the developers are working on their mistakes, because the last part is my favorite, all boring elements from first DS have been removed from game. All boss fights are much more dynamic than in previous parts and the locations are also interesting.

    Sin embargo, no se puede negar que este juego tiene puntos fuertes y puntos flojos:

    Puntos negativos: Muchas veces y según la persona te puedes frustrar jugando a este juego, por ejemplo si te tiras 100 intentos contra un boss llamado La Bailarina del Valle Boreal o si por otro lado te tiras 41 intentos para saltar a una cornisa sin morir en el intento. Muchas mecánicas son frustrantes y aburridas, aunque depende del boss. El sistema online que viene activo por defecto es bastante innecesario debido a los mensajes trampa que te dejan el resto de jugadores y al sistema de invasiones en el que tú estás tan tranquilo yendo a x zona y te sale un tío de color rojo que te quiere matar, como si no tuvieras suficiente con los 8000 perros que se teletransportan a tu cara o a tu espalda a medida que huyes de ellos. Las misiones de personaje requieren consultar una guía, porque no son intuitivas en lo absoluto. Las pantallas de carga hacen la experiencia un tanto más lenta ya que te tienes que comer una cada vez que viajes o mueras, y por último, los gráficos no están del todo mal, pero podrían ser un poco mejores a la vista.

    Puntos positivos: La mayoría de los jefes molan un taco, hay zonas bonitas, el aspecto RPG está bien logrado, no es injusto, a medida que vas avanzando en el juego vas a ir aprendiendo y dominando mecánicas ya conocidas, cuando derrotas a un jefe en el que llevas tiempo atascado te produce una gran satisfacción, puedes usar varias builds, se te puede ir la cabeza e intentar cosas como una no-hit y la historia, aunque escondida, es bastante buena.    … Expand

    Dark Souls 3 is a great game, hosting incredible lore and some of the best and most memorable boss fights ever. Even with these highs, the lows are too low for me to put it above an 8. These lows include the easy combat and frustrating early game.

    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.

    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 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.

    -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

    Dark Souls 3 chooses to focus on a more contained exploration than its predecessors, a much more streamlined map with few branching paths and thus less secret areas and less freedom given to the player on where to go next. This design philosophy allows each new area to be bigger and wide-ranging, but the lack of a tangled web of interconnecting paths like in the past diminishes the sense of freedom granted by exploration, and a slight overabundance of bonfires hurts the sense of tension, ultimately making the journey through Lothric significantly less adventurous than the one through Lordran or Yharnam. Nevertheless, the level design within each area remains of superb quality, as the traditionally multilayered dense map structure is chockfull of treasures and secrets to find and, as previously mentioned, the bigger scope of each area grants more room to explore. The combat system received a clear influence from Bloodborne, as it has a much faster pace now that ultimately ends up making rollspam a little overpowered, but with the usual focus on shielding and weight typical of the Dark Souls, and a magic system now better integrated with the rest of the mechanics. Testing our mettle with these systems, a traditionally excellent, fairly challenging set of enemies and an even better set of bosses. Dark Souls 3 hosts the absolute best, most high-quality array of bosses in the whole Soulsborne series. They frequently display incredibly distinct multiple phases and utilize varied attack patterns that rely on exclusive mechanics or unique playstyles that constantly challenge the player in new exciting ways. Even the worst ones are still highly entertaining thanks to interesting gimmicks that twist the usual formula without compromising on challenge. Narratively, Dark Souls 3 ends the trilogy with a somber, melancholic conclusion that delves deeper into the established concepts of the series, with a main focus on the human drama and tragedies linked to them.    … Expand

A lot of bosses in demon souls were about outsmarting your foe this is something that has been lost. And I don’t think it would hurt dark souls 3 to experiment once in a while instead of all the bosses being about dodging at the right time. Not that the bosses in ds3 are bad its just that variation helpes. Another problem is that dark souls has a bit of an identity crisis. It has the setting and themes of dark souls with abit of bloodbourne dna. With references to demon souls dark souls and dark souls 2 every thirty minitues or so. Ds3 feels like it tries to be a best of dark souls arcade game. While this may sound good on paper. I think it works against the game and makes it feel like it doesn’t have an identity of its own. The level design of ds1 has not carried over. Some may like this many wont. The aesthetics are very grey. But they are supposed to be this way. Some may like it some may not. But over all it is still an incredibly good game. The bosses are still really good. The combat is very simple yet engaging. The world is for the most times well crafted. And I do recommend it… Expand

Almost every boss has incredible polish that blows the first and second game out of the water and holds its own against bloodborne. The pace is much faster, which while making the combat feel different from 1 and 2, also allows for more fluidity and dynamic action. The DLCs follow in the soulsborne tradition in being the best part of the game's experience. While the ashes of Ariendel felt somewhat lackluster (except the sister Friede fight which I think is the best in the series), the Ringed city was easily my favorite DLC experience from any souls game, sporting compelling gameplay sections with groundbreaking bosses, 3 of which (Demon Prince, Midir, and Slave Knight Gael) have legitimate claims to be called best in the series. All in all Dark Souls 3 is the perfect conclusion for a legendary franchise and easily the best the series has to offer.… Expand

    Die Bosse und ihrer Inszenierungen sind bombastisch und gehören zu der Spitze der Reihe. Die Gebiete sind abwechslungsreich und schön düster gestaltet, was den Reiz am Spiel ebenfalls ausmacht. Der Soundtrack ist wundervoll und es gibt nichts was mehr mitreißender ist, als den Schlägen eines fast besiegten Bosses auszuweichen, während im Hintergrund eine aufbrausende Musik ertönt.

    Das Kampfsystem ist grandios, denn nicht umsonst ist es der Maßstab für gute RPG Kämpfe.

    Die DLCs sind auch empfehlenswert, wobei mich vor allem das zweite, sehr gepackt hat und mir endlos viele Stunden meines Lebens beim bekämpfen eines bestimmten Drachen genommen hat.

    Beim erneuten Durchspielen entdeckst du immer wieder neue Gebiete und durch seine verschiedenen Klassen und Spielweisen, wird es auch nach dem 8ten Run, nicht langweilig

    Also zum Abschluss, grandioses Spiel, grandiose Reihe.

    A great game but way too linear, you must go in one direction and thats it, for the entire game. I love DS2 better since it has more bioms, more enemy types and more content overall

    This could be one of the most well balanced games that are available to play on your PS4. Good story(For a Souls game), good mechanics, great gameplay, good difficult, amazing atmosphere and incredible satisfying combat.

    Top 3 Souls game.

    Es un juego que todo el mundo debería jugar, o tan siquiera intentar jugarlo. Fue mi primer souls y puedo decir que después de 70 hrs tengo ganas de más. Mi favorito de la trilogía, un gameplay muy bueno y bosses icónicos. Lo único malo es que a veces es muy injusto con ciertos golpes que te dan algunos bosses.

    Ngl, some of these bosses are doodoo (Looking at you Curse-Rotted Greatwood, Deacons Of The Deep, and High Lord Wolnir). I wasn't liking the game at first because 5 bosses in a row was you vs a boss and his helpers. So it was always unfair.

But I managed to get past them and overcome those dogwater bosses and get to great ones. Though Pontiff does technically have a clone he's actually one of the good ones. I'm in the minority for saying this, but I appreciate that this game is more linear. I get lost in these games so easily but I didn't need a guide at all for this one.

    In summary: After getting to the good bosses I ended up loving the game. I love FromSoftware. Ngl I don't look forward to Dark Souls 2 cause it's probably got that clunky feeling of DS 1 and I've heard it's the hardest by far. Scary.    … Expand

El arte es perfecto, la fantasía oscura en la que se ambienta hace que la atmósfera sea tanto inmersiva como hostil dejándote claro que todo el mundo parece ir en tu contra dependiendo únicamente de ti para avanzar, el sistema de combate es simplemente el mejor de la historia de los videojuegos (para sorpresa de nadie), el nivel de dificultad tan desafiante hace que tengas que pensar de qué forma vas a avanzar en el mundo, un diseño de niveles impecable junto una gran variedad de secretos y atajos. La sensación de estar perdido y solo en el mundo hace que cada uno se pueda centrar en crear a su personaje de forma inmersiva (tú personaje no sabe nada, por lo que tú tampoco). La historia está fragmentada en cientos de objetos, lo que le añade misterio. El diseño de enemigos normales como de jefes es perfecto y propio de una obra maestra como lo es este título. Las peleas contra jefes y la banda sonora que nos acompaña todo el camino es inolvidable. Simplemente un juego perfecto.… Expand

    Buen juego, la verdad. Es una copia un poco triste de Elden ring, pero bueno. Esta bien divertido, excepto por el pequeño detalle de perder la cordura muriendo durante horas y horas para pasarte UN jefe. Por lo demás un juego aceptable

    This is one of my top 5 favourite games of all time currently. It has such a large amount of options for builds. The boss fights are great and enjoyable when you finally overcome them. I took a long time to platinum this. It was cancerous to grind for the covenant items which is a big drawback but this is not a forced mechanic.
    Thank you for reading. Enjoy Gaming.

    Combat felt so satisfying in this game compared to ds1 and ds2. I love how cinematic the bosses in this game were, easily has the best bosses of the trilogy and the dlc further proves this. Although some level designs were not fromsoft's best the game is still the best in the trilogy.

    this game close up the dark souls series one of the best game series ever made neatly,
    the boss fight take all the good points of dark souls 1 plus bloodborne and ignore dark souls 2 to create unique fights that will change your perspectives about gaming in general.

The mid of the game is such a bloody hard for the rookies but the bosses not invincibles you can stun them kill them and have a Great experience. The questlines not too much in this games it's just 3.4 the Ending is not compatible is such have a lot of questions. My final rate is 8.35/10 The dlcs is just a fan services… Expand

    Pros

    - The Bossfights are Cinematic, Fast-Paced and well designed.
    - The level design is the best of any souls game
    - The graphics are fantastic, have held up for 6 years, and will for much longer
    - The combat is responsive
    - The enemies are diverse, and suit their respective environments

    Cons

    - It ended
    - There are perhaps 1 or 2 too many gimmick bosses.

    The game is amazing. There is nothing as satisfying as finally beating a boss after struggling on it for a while. The only issue is that it can be hard to know where to go and what to do to progress.
