    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.

    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.

    Dark Souls 3 is a masterpiece. It is the culmination of everything good from demon souls, dark souls, and dark souls 2.

    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.

    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!

    A great game overall, but I can't help feeling that it that it is the weakest entry in the Dark Souls series. The bosses are good, but the areas are really boring and uninspired.

    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

    One of the best level designs I have ever seen in any game. Each area is uniquely designed with its own enemies, environment and story. The combat in the game is vastly improved from the first two, its bosses are the best the series have seen especially its dlc. The best boss is either the Pontiff Sultvahn or Slave Knight Gael. The best area is Ithril of the Boreal Valley. So many greatOne of the best level designs I have ever seen in any game. Each area is uniquely designed with its own enemies, environment and story.

The best area is Ithril of the Boreal Valley. So many great enemies in this game and all of them are such a threat. 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

    Jogo me salvou da depressão. Antes de jogar eu só pensava em me matar, agora eu não aguento mais morrer.

    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.

    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.
