    I really disliked the first Dark Souls when I first played it. After trying (and loving) a couple of other soulslike games (like 'The Surge' and 'Bloodborne') I decided to give the first Dark Souls a second chance. I still didn't like it, and to this day I still haven't finished it. I decided to skip straight to DS3, and I am glad I did. DS3 fixes most of the issues (and bugs) I had withI really disliked the first Dark Souls when I first played it.

It controls so much tighter and feels much fairer. Absolutely love it.… Expand

    Dark Souls is my favorite franchise, and Dark Souls 3 is the best RPG I've ever played. It's difficult, but rewarding in many ways. This game is rich in beauty, from the mysterious lore, to the intricate combat styles, to the imperfect but deadly fun online gameplay. This game is just amazing in every way, and if you're a fan of a challenge, Dark Souls 3 is a must play.

    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.

    The only downsides I see are the loss of power stance and hexes.

    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.

    This quickly became one of my favourite games to play ever. If you can get through the difficulty of the game, you'll most likely enjoy it.

    Dark Souls 3 is a masterpiece. It is the culmination of everything good from demon souls, dark souls, and dark souls 2. The visuals are stunning, the gameplay incredible, the combat is the best in any game ever, the world building is grand, the bosses are so good, and the locations are amazing.

    I didn't think this was going to be a game I enjoyed, but I guess I was wrong. The exploration, different play styles, lore, and fun yet challenging boss fights just kept me coming back! Some areas and enemies had me salty but felt so good to persist and overcome.

    This game is like learning an art form, to get good, you need to develop the instinct, learn enemy movements, deploy patience.

    While Dark Souls 1 is my favorite for its world, Dark Souls 3 brings a lot of welcome changes to the gameplay, such as weapon arts. A lot of fun bosses to fight, as well. Definitely check it out if you like the series!

    Loved this when it first came out and it's still fun. Super responsive and bosses have obvious punish windows plus you can dodge anything if your timing is good ^.^

    The last of the "souls" franchise. The final entry to the souls game, where the story ends. Great game, a must play for people who like challenges.

    Let's be honest here we don't have to say anything here except that you will need to prepare to die like any other souls games so my words of advice "Praise the Sun and keep trying you can do this"

    Legitimately the best game that I have ever played. Cleanest combat mechanisms of any FromSoft game, maybe in the action-adventure genre period. The atmospheres have an eerily beautiful aesthetic like no other. Can't wait for the servers to come back online to drag more friends through Lothric just one more time because the co-op gameplay is so incredible. 100% recommend you pick this oneLegitimately the best game that I have ever played.

    다크소울3는 괴랄한 난이도의 게임으로 잘 알려져 있습니다. 그렇기에 저도 구매한 후 막상 손도 못대고 라이브러리에 썩혀두기만 했습니다. 그러나 약 40시간에 걸쳐 1회차 엔딩을 보고나니, 그 동안 제가 왜 이런 명작 게임을 썩혀두었는지 뼈저리게 후회되네요.

    FromSoftware have improved and refined an action-RPG series without parallel. Essential. [June 2016, p.77]

    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.
