    One of the best displayed game's out their the environment is one of a kind which traps you in over and over again taking screenshots of this beautiful game. Challenging yet rewarding when you complete a task. Downfall I would say is more of a tutorial would have been nice seeing it is my first dark souls and would have been better if story had more multiplayer options.

    FIRST TIME SOULS PLAYER HERE. And wow, I can see what all the hype is about. I've always been intimidated by Dark Souls since everyone always talks about how hard of a game it is...and I'll admit that it IS a hard game..but that does not take away from the fun factor one bit. And i would say that I am the type of person who is not the greatest at video games to begin with.

    As someone who is a fan of fantasy (The Witcher 3, Lord of The Rings, Game of Thrones etc.) I felt intrigued enough to pick this game up. Great choice. This is the kind of game that you can play for 5 hours and not even know where the time went, and that is a rare occasion for me these days.
    The graphics look good, it plays fluidly, and some of the enemies are so badass looking that I can't help but admire them as they kill me.
    I've sunk 16 hours into this game the past week, only beaten 3 bosses, but I'm loving every step of the way. If it's your first time and you're intimidated and worried you are going to keep dying, you WILL keep dying, but you will love it anyways. Pick it up. Just try to learn the basics from Youtube videos or Google since this game does not hold your hand.    … Expand

DS III is definitely not easier that either of the first two games which was a bit of a concern of mine going in. The enemies are extremely fun to fight and I'd argue this game has the best boss fight of the series so far. There are even more play styles in this game than previous DS games, which basically means this game has a nearly infinite amount of replay value. One of the best games I've ever played.… Expand

    Unnecessary to address the pros of this game any longer.
    But there's a really serious issue people here seem to forget about: the load times are HORRENDOUS.
    Seriously, having to wait half a minute after every retry on a challenging boss is mind torture!

    We're already on calibration 1.11, ver. 1.07 and load times are still an issue. Please FROM, fix that!

Yes, I've broken controllers, disturbed my neighbors, and have probably burst a few blood vessels playing these games, but the satisfaction this series gives you after clearing certain areas and bosses makes it all well worth it. Whether you're a veteran, or new to the series, you'll absolutely love this game if you have a little patience and learn from your mistakes.

    The first thing i noticed with DS3 over the others is how incredibly smooth it is. Dodging has never been so fun! They've added a few things to make the initial start a little less aggravating, without over-doing it and making it too easy. I'm only a couple hours in and cannot wait to get back into the DS universe!

    Do yourself a favor and take your time as it's the last of the series!

    Thank you From Software!!!!!!!!!!    … Expand

Matchmaking is horrible and the servers are laggy to the point that most invaders will just glide across the ground without moving, several core features of the game such as weapon scaling some covens and infusement are broken and useless in several instances, NPC scaling is completely broken in some areas and weak enemies will randomly do over 1000 damage with one attack even if you're wearing heavy armor often times instantly killing you out of nowhere, Magic wasn't implemented well and it's a pain in the ass to use according to my friends and for some reason there isn't any freaking poise in the game so literally EVERYTHING will stagger you.

    Several weapons have phantom range that gives them twice as much reach, You will literally be staggered by almost everything that hits you no matter how high your poise is and hackers and lag switchers are already abundant in PVP and as usual fromsoft isn't doing jack to fix their broken ass product, choosing to ignore the actual problems and do patches that no one asked for instead. This game can be great fun but the amount of sheer bullsh*t that fills almost every aspect of it just ruins the experience. I'm honestly considering getting rid of my copy at least until all of the patches are done. And as unbalanced and messed up as this one is that will probably be a year from now.

    Some idiots will whine and say that i'm a noob even though i've been playing since the first game and that the game is SUPPOSED to be hard. Yeah, No sh*t you simpletons but the game ISN'T supposed to be broken to the point where you have to cheat and exploit glitches to freaking win. For example i've had people run up to me in pvp and guard break me when I wasn't blocking. I've also had these cheating **** take me into a back stab animation while they were standing right in front of me. The fact that these games are released so broken and borderline unplayable is a joke.    … Expand

    Dark Souls 3 is a combination of the best elements found in Demon's Souls, Dark Souls 1, Dark Souls 2 and Bloodborne, in terms of mechanics, level design, gameplay, bosses, sound track and graphics. The only point that needs a pacth to improve is the frame rate which drops sometimes, but does not compromise the fun.

    I think that this game has the most customization in the series, there is a staggering amount of weapons and armor sets, unfortunately, unlike Dark Souls 2, this game has little variety in basic weapon move sets, so many are the same, but I think that they make up for it with the weapon arts. There are so many cool and interesting weapon arts that bring diversity to the way you play. 8.5/10
    Now, I am a sucker for Dark Souls lore, the lore itself is fantastic, but the way you discover it is even better. The way it presents itself is amazing as it is like you are exploring an ancient civilization, the story is hidden in the item descriptions and environment, if you pay attention to these things you can figure out some stuff as you go. 9/10
    Unfortunately, there are somethings that I dislike about Souls games. First, its the areas, after a while they just don't seem fun to me, maybe its because I have run through it a couple of times or that I had a hard time my first play through, but I there are some areas in Souls that I just don't enjoy or I downright hate HATE. Hey, but there are some areas that I just adore. Dark Souls 3 has all of these for me. So the areas... 7/10
    So the biggest question I have been asking myself is which is better Dark Souls 1 or Dark Souls 3. I enjoy Dark Souls 2, it was my first Dark Souls game, but its not on par with these guys. So, with nostalgia aside, I think Dark Souls 1 is better, and you will definitely appreciate Dark Souls 3 a lot more after you have played the previous titles.    … Expand

EvenFantastic. Played all 3 Dark Souls games and this is the best one. Was actually not that big of a fan of Dark Souls 2 as I thought it wasn't nearly as good as the original Dark Souls. But this third version has re-captured all of that magic from the original and added enough new stuff and with the improved graphics this is now the standard bearer of the Dark Souls series. Even corrected the two biggest mistakes of Dark Souls 2 by getting rid of soul memory and the disappearing monsters (after defeating them multiple times). So dying is never really that big of a loss like in Souls 2 and no worries about missing a drop on mobs that might be disappearing (you can grind them forever if you wish). The atmosphere is brilliant it has the best overall vibe of any game out there and the PVP is as innovative as ever.

    And for those new to the series who have heard about the difficulty don't be frightened. The difficulty is just right for the type of game it is. This isn't at it's core an RPG like Skyrim or The Witcher (yes there is leveling and armor sets and weapons and upgrades) but it really should be viewed more as a platformer. Think of it as a 3D (3rd person) old school platformer with a seriously cool dark vibe. You have difficult levels followed by boss fights, just like old school Mario games. The fun is beating the levels (navigating thru the map and defeating the monsters along the way) and then taking on the boss before moving on to the next level. The levels can always be beat and are never that frustrating in my opinion. And just like old school platformers when you die you basically start the level over at its checkpoint (with maybe shortcuts unlocked to speed up progress) so this really isn't anything new in terms of difficulty. The only occasional frustrations are some of the bosses, but if you don't have the patience for that all you need to do is summon help and you can defeat them easily (no penalties even). There is no reason to be scared of the difficulty just buy it and enjoy the greatest platformer (with RPG and PVP elements) of all time.    … Expand

The voice acting is as always superb, and once again brings its colorful characters to life, making every NPC encounter worth while. The bosses are yet again, for the most part, outstanding, ranging very easy to extremely hard. As I said, the game is almost perfect, which means there are a few things that made it not get a 10. First off: The level design, while it makes for a cohesive and believable world (even more so than DS1), is a bit straight forward. It's not as intricate as in DS 1,which in my opinion is a bit of a shame. The frame rate is also extremely unstable at times, but it doesn't really ruin anything. I never felt cheated because of it. At last, while I don't think this drags the game down, is its lack of originality. The game is a major fan service, something I think people wanted after DS2).

    Overall, while I think Dark Souls 1 is the superior game, i find Dark Souls 3 much more enjoyable. I can't wait to get into NG+.    … Expand

    Easily the best game the Xbox One has to offer. A rich dynamic world that lures you in with its beauty, and then proceeds to brutally beat you down for getting distracted. The combat is vastly improved from its predecessors, much more fluid and slightly more forgiving on the dodges as well. More game developers should emulate what Dark Souls III is and make games worth playing again.

I'm sorry that your self-worth is so infinitesimally miniscule that you have to make others feel less-than-human, at least in your own denatured mind, just to feel whole. I am truly sorry that day-in and day-out you have to put up with your worthless, meaningless, Shakespearean tragedy of a life.
    I ask you politely to cease your unnecessary cries for attention, and instead invite you to join our ranks. Uninstall Call of Duty, start up Dark Souls 3, and breathe in the splendour and the amazement of the interwoven levels, and then, maybe, just maybe, you'll see what you've been so hopelessly searching for this whole time.    … Expand

    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.
