    Introduction:
    In the realm of video games, there exists a title that stands head and shoulders above the rest, a game that has left an indelible mark on the industry and the hearts of gamers worldwide. That game is Dark Souls 3, and in this essay, we will explore why it deserves the title of the best game ever to grace the human race. From its unparalleled gameplay mechanics to its immersive world-building, compelling storytelling, and enduring legacy, Dark Souls 3 represents the pinnacle of gaming excellence.

    Challenging Gameplay:
    Dark Souls 3 is synonymous with challenging gameplay. It demands not only skill but also patience and perseverance from its players. Its combat system is a masterpiece of depth and precision, forcing players to learn the nuances of weapon types, dodge timings, and enemy behavior. The sense of accomplishment derived from overcoming seemingly insurmountable odds is an unparalleled experience in the gaming world.

    Impeccable Level Design:
    The world of Dark Souls 3 is a labyrinthine marvel of interconnectedness and hidden secrets. From the hauntingly beautiful Lothric Castle to the eerie Catacombs of Carthus, each area is a work of art in level design. The intricate shortcuts and the way areas seamlessly fold into one another create a sense of a cohesive, living world, encouraging exploration and rewarding curiosity.

    Atmospheric World-building:
    Dark Souls 3 excels at world-building through atmosphere. Its dark and decaying world is both haunting and beautiful, immersing players in a grim and mysterious narrative. The game's environmental storytelling, subtle item descriptions, and cryptic NPC interactions invite players to piece together the lore of the world, fostering a sense of discovery and intrigue.

    Compelling Storytelling:
    The storytelling in Dark Souls 3 is cryptic and enigmatic, challenging players to dig deep to uncover its hidden depths. It tells a fragmented narrative through item descriptions, dialogue, and environmental cues, encouraging players to engage their critical thinking skills. The game's themes of cycles, sacrifice, and the inevitable decay of empires add layers of complexity to the narrative.

    Memorable Boss Fights:
    Dark Souls 3 is renowned for its challenging and memorable boss battles. Each boss encounter is a unique test of skill and adaptability, ranging from the awe-inspiring, multi-phase battles like the Abyss Watchers and Soul of Cinder to grotesque and nightmarish horrors like Aldrich, Devourer of Gods. These battles provide a rush of adrenaline and a profound sense of achievement when conquered.

    Replayability and Build Diversity:
    The game's replayability is bolstered by its diverse character builds and playstyles. Players can experiment with a wide range of weapons, magic spells, and armor sets to create their own unique playthroughs. The New Game+ feature adds an extra layer of challenge, ensuring that each playthrough feels fresh and engaging.

    Community and Multiplayer:
    Dark Souls 3's community is known for its helpfulness, creativity, and passion. The multiplayer component enhances the sense of community through cooperative and competitive modes. Jolly cooperation and invasions provide opportunities for camaraderie and competition, enriching the overall gaming experience.

    Artistic Excellence:
    Visually, Dark Souls 3 is a masterpiece. Its detailed character models, stunning landscapes, and intricate enemy designs showcase a commitment to artistic excellence. The game's ability to evoke a wide range of emotions through its visuals, from awe to dread, is a testament to its art direction.

    Legacy and Influence:
    Dark Souls 3's impact on the gaming industry is immeasurable. It has inspired countless titles and developers to explore challenging gameplay, intricate world-building, and cryptic storytelling. The Souls series has fostered a resurgence of interest in challenging games, giving rise to the "Souls-like" subgenre.

    Conclusion:
    In conclusion, Dark Souls 3 stands as a testament to the potential of video games as an art form. Its challenging gameplay, impeccable level design, atmospheric world-building, compelling storytelling, and enduring legacy make it the best game to ever grace the human race. For those who have experienced its trials and triumphs, Dark Souls 3 is not just a game; it's a profound and timeless journey that will be cherished for generations to come.    … Expand

    Answer: 75 characters is between 10 words and 19 words with spaces included in the character count. If spaces are not included in the character count, then 75 characters is between 12 words and 25 words.

    The only reason this isn't a 10 is the fact that it doesn't feel as unique as its 2 predecessors. Imo the references to DS1 were a bit too much but overall I really enjoyed my time with this game.

The level of customisation in ways you can play has also been improved as there are more weapons such as weapons from killing bosses and there are more spells and such. Overall a masterclass of game design.… Expand

    First off I highly recommend playing this on a Series console and not an Xbone. The frame rate boost makes a world of difference. Anyhow… great bosses, fun weapons, build variety is all here. The bosses in particular really shine, there are very few boss encounters that i don’t look forward to. The humanoid ones are very fun to fight, they are fast and aggressive to keep you on your toes.First off I highly recommend playing this on a Series console and not an Xbone.

My only real complaint is that locales in the first half of the game are just kinda meh. High wall is cool, but nothing you haven’t seen in a Souls game before. Undead settlement..I mean who cares honestly? Bland, dull, dreary, and grey. Farron Keep/Road of Sacrifices/Crucifixion woods… they all kinda blend together to create a generally uninteresting forest-y swamp area. it just feels like a slog to get through. Also why get rid of power stancing? :(… Expand

The weapons and armor are great, but the build diversity is slightly lacking in this game compared to Dark Souls 2. The bosses in this game are the best overall of any of the souls games most are challenging and fun, some have gimmicks which is okay, and one or two throw multiple enemies which is fine since it feels different. Overall, just a really good game and probably the most consistent souls game of them all with something for everyone.… Expand

    Un gran cierre para una trilogía, música genial , buenos gráficos y peleas para recordar . Lástima que toda esa belleza se vea empañada por una mala programación. Hitbox ridícula del personaje que controlas vs la de los enemigos y un sistema de progresó en cuanto a niveles que se siente casi inútil.

    Dark souls 3 es uno de los mejores juegos RPG que pude haber jugado en toda mi vida, y la verdad todo el juego, desde el comienzo hasta el final es toda una travesía, con una historia tremenda que esta enlazada con el primer dark souls.

    From the lore, to the enemies, to the map design, to the gameplay, everything is just so cool. It is the perfect embodiment of what a video game should be.
    Every setting is amazing to look at experience and I highly recommend everyone play the game and appreciate the world for what it is.

All the bosses, areas and items collected in roughly 80 hours, lvl 339 and a new best game I've ever played. Yes, Dark Souls 3 is now the game of my life, the feelings it gave me were so amazing and unique that I could never successfully explain, I never thought I'd be able to play a soulslike, I'm a casual player in the sense I like games more “accessible”, in which I don't have to worry about dying a lot and fighting tough enemies, thus it was really rewarding finishing this game given the fact I was afraid of having wasted my money when I bought it, and holy **** when I finally beat the final boss the satisfaction and hapiness I felt were so damn awesome, guess this is what these games are all about, overcome your limitations. It is not fair, imo you can't never say this is a fair game, it does everything it can to screw you, but it's up to you get upset and quit or just, you know… git gud … Expand

    The most beautiful of the dark soul's games. It could do with being a little bit darker, but it's amazing regardless. The introduction of weapon skills, decent movement while drinking estus, and the overall speed of combat increase are all amazing.

This game is rich in beauty, from the mysterious lore, to the intricate combat styles, to the imperfect but deadly fun online gameplay.

The level design is better than dark souls 2 and dark souls 1, There are shortcuts from bonfires to boss rooms that you will find out later. The setting and the world is very dark and gritty and it has an element of horror to it. Some bosses are quite creepy and there are giant rats and even a **** giant spider. This game has different varieties of swords, spells, armors which you purchase using a currency called souls or soul points which you earn from killing enemies and collecting dead knights' souls. The game doesn't teach you much about how everything works and you have to figure out where to go and which boss you should fight, but dont worry, the linear paths might help you for the most part. The game has an alternate ending which you can find it out by yourself or watch a tutorial. The last boss in the game is quite familiar if you have played dark souls 1. Some minor flaws are the awful frame rates on xbox one and the loading times. These issues arise even after 5 years and sekiro runs better on xbox than dark souls 3. New journey 2 is quite easy as it is like a reward to you after you beat the first journey. Some bosses can be cheesed and there are input delays which are quite frustrating as dodging attacks require precise timing. The character creator menu in the beginning is awful and making the most charming or a badass character would be quite hard, but that wont be a problem if you are wearing knight armor or something. Haven't played the DLCs yet but I'd recommend that you buy it.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Dark Souls 3 + both DLC

    After 36 1/2 hours (level 112) and an acceptable 635 gamerscore, I finished this masterpiece. First of all, I can say that Dark Souls 3 is the best part of the series for me and that I had a lot of fun with the title throughout. As with the other parts, this was my very first game play for me. I died 178 times in total: D.

    story

    I absorbed the again very darkly staged story at every moment. The intro of the game alone is incredibly well done and I was always curious about the princes, the territories and what awaits me in the course of the story. I would have liked the story to be easier to follow, but I think it was told the best overall. Here, too, you learned a lot about the item descriptions, etc. But I like the whole created world of Dark Souls on its own.

    Atmosphere / graphics

    To me the game looks phenomenally good and has chosen the perfect look. Sometimes you can't get away from saving screenshots in some areas. The atmosphere is wonderfully dense, exciting and gloomy. You just always want to know how things will go on. I really liked the second version of the Totenackers, Lothric, Irithyll and the Erzdrachengipfel. The bosses are made incredibly stylish, there is great-looking armor and weapons and many beautifully staged effects.

    The music is breathtaking. It starts in the main menu. I've already listened to the music externally several times and am listening to it while typing the review, just terrific.

    Gameplay

    Again the centerpiece and especially to Dark Souls 2 a comparison of day and night. But let's start with the fire band shrine as a HUB: For me an optimal hub that I liked better than Majula, the whole thing simply had more flair. With the progress you activate all possible improvements e.g. with the old lady with different ashes also different boss armor and objects or with the blacksmith different upgrade options (Estus, weapons). I would have liked a cool armor upgrade system here, but that was never well integrated in the parts before or was actually unnecessary, maybe that's why the developers simply let it be.

    The combat gameplay is incredibly dynamic, has much better feedback than its predecessor and is therefore a lot of fun at all times. I've played with dual blades, but also with katanas or various boss weapons (tried a few things). Slashing opponents has never felt better and finally there is a good hit again SOUND! A small change that makes a big difference, because that missing sound bothered me so much in Dark Souls 2. Only with kites, also in the previous parts, did I sometimes have problems hitting them with the short double blades, because I sometimes found it difficult to assess the distance.

    The bosses are just amazing and everything I wanted from a Dark Souls. Here you are not hit with loads of bosses, some of which are completely irrelevant or are constantly being reskinned, no, in Dark Souls 3, quality over quantity applies almost exclusively. Just an exemplary list of those bosses that I found really great: Master Gundyr, Abyss Watcher, Pontiff Sulyvahn, dancer, Nameless King. The final boss wasn't that tough either, but it was damn cool and finally worthy of the title final boss in that respect.

    The paths to bosses were always fair enough and not littered with innumerable hordes of opponents. You could perhaps say that it was too easy in places, especially with trash mobs I actually had no problems (but that's okay for me).

    I also looked at the PVP, but unfortunately I only had lagging opponents or 1gg3 situations, in principle I would actually like it.

    DLC: Ashes of Ariandel

    I thought the area was okay, I liked the Viking opponents a lot, but otherwise the snow world didn't necessarily blow me away. Rather, it was the atmosphere around the story of Sister Friede and the bossfight of the same name. A grandiose staged fight, the cutscenes of which have a sadness in them and are made really cool (the father's scream). I was just blown away here. The music does the rest.

    DLC: The Ringed City

    A grandiose scene, the arena of the final boss is so great and spacious. Also the return to a certain place, the beginning of the DLC all perfect and a successful additional conclusion to the main game. There are also strong bosses, especially Midir..oh Midir! An insane fight, with great effects and you just have instant respect for the dragon. For me the most difficult boss in the whole series and by far. But the final boss was also incredibly stylish and had really nice effects.

    Conclusion

    The main game alone is perfect for me the way it is. The few "critical" comments do not change anything for me in clear 5/5 souls! In addition, the great DLC make the game even better. I'm really happy to have played the Dark Souls franchise and can't wait to continue with Bloodborne.    … Expand

Hello folks Brandon here being unusually masochistic this month with Dark Souls 3. I adore the Souls games, but unlike some of you badass gamers out there I can only ever get half way. Basically I wish I was just better at the games. The idea of the Dark Souls 3 is intriguing to me. Challenging gameplay with a hidden story and death that actually has meaning. Almost three weeks I’ve been at this sucker and I’ve barely scratched the surface of it, but time continues to go on and so do the new games so this review is basically the first third of the game. (I killed the first Lord of Cinder)

    ​The games story from my understanding is that these Lords of Cinder don’t want to relight the flame of the world so your job is to go in and kill them. I think so you can relight the world I am not a hundred percent. Seriously you paste the game together by talking to people so if you are paying attention to literally everything around you then you can make up your story so that is what I did. My story is about Jerry the mercenary potter. He was looking for the nearest convenience store when suddenly these naughty Cinder Lords said his mom was a fat cheeky divvy. Not knowing what it meant (whether good or bad) Jerry decided that he would kill these Lords and use their ashes to make a wonderful pot for his defiantly none cheeky or divvy mother. That was my story what is yours you made up while playing this game?

    The game looks beautiful, and for those of you who are unfamiliar with Dark Souls being able to see a place in the distance and knowing, “at some point I’m going to die there” is marvelous. A weird issue I have is the preset faces all look like the bastard offspring of Gollum. They all are horrific looking so say if you wanted to make a cool adventurer you are going to half to spend some time in the character creation. The soundtrack during the boss fights as always are epic. You really feel like each boss encounter is one to be remember. In in most games the badass audio only kicks in towards the end, but Dark Souls each boss is the final boss in some way.

    The gameplay is so unique you can honestly say it plays like a Souls game. For those who don’t know Souls games they are a RPG’s with no forgiveness…well some. There is so much to this game the basics are you get souls for killing your enemies and if you die you go back to the spawn point which is a bonfire. When you die or rest at a new/same bonfire ever enemy (excluding bosses) comes back to life so you will have to fight them again. If you die all the souls you had dropped, and if you die without picking them up you lose them. The souls are money/experience so you really don’t want to lose them. Since Dark Souls can be played a number of different ways I will only be talking about how my character was being played. I picked a class called mercenary he is one of seven classes I think. I played the game as a sword and shield fighter with light on the shield. The shields in this game are only really good for parrying (which is a pain in the ass) or blocking projectiles. My main skills were all close range of course with my focus being on evading. I will admit I ran a lot through this game. If I didn’t have to fight an enemy there is a good chance I didn’t. This could be a hindrance, but **** is it less frustrating to deal with. I had some help from an online co-op partner on the first Lord of Cinder, and I must say if you have an issue with a boss call some help. Some people are ****ing monsters in this game. I am more of a scared…potter (sticking with that joke) I met some allies throughout the story which is nice but they usually **** right off after you say hi. The game is so long I am only 12 hours into it and barely scratched the surface so those who don’t get many games keep that in mind.

    Overall the game is fantastic with no bugs that I saw and gameplay that can sometimes be a pain, but in the end is super satisfying when you do what you thought impossible. I recommend those who know this game series to go buy it I enjoy it more than Dark Souls 1 and 2. It is the best in the series which is rare for the third game to be. I give this a 4.5 out of 5. With the caveat that you know this game is going to bat you around for a bit until you get used to the world. It has a learning curve so if you aren’t into spending sometime of getting your ass kicked then maybe skip this game, or rent to see if maybe this is a good fit for you. I end this with a simple request. Tell me your experience with this game good or bad I love a good gaming story of failure or conquer. Also whether or not you enjoyed it.    … Expand

    One needs a certain disposition to appreciate Dark Souls III – a willingness to face setbacks and challenges and then overcome them. Don't expect to play this just like any other action-RPG. If you're going to play this game, it must be on its own terms and as it's meant to be played. That patience will be rewarded with a masterpiece, easily one of the best action and role-playing games of the year.

    An excellent final chapter for From Software's series, keeping all the best elements from previous games and forging them in a fresh and new experience. Sporting the best bosses in the series, Dark Souls III confirms itself as one of the most challenging and rewarding games around.
