Dark Souls III

After the masterpiece that is Dark Souls and the mess that is Dark Souls 2, Dark Souls 3 concludes the trilogy by mixing aspects from it's predecessors together under modern physics and a lot of brand new ideas as well, and it makes for an absolutely fantastic game.

The combat is the most refined in the trilogy, and same goes for most of the bosses. Almost all of the bosses are great and the stand outs are absolutely fantastic, the best in the series. Also the atmosphere and storytelling is on par with the previous titles, the story being probably the best in the trilogy due to the buildup from being the end of the trilogy.

The only thing that bugs me and still takes Dark Souls 1 over this game for me is the level design. It is great in this game, the areas are vast and mazelike, and the world itself is huge, but the way everything connects into one cohesive and living world in Dark Souls 1 is not there.

Loved my time with this game, I still think the first game is the best though.

I've played this game for some hours, and I can tell, it's amazing. At first glance it was really annoying and frustrating to get used to its gameplay dynamics and mechanics, but when I did, I found some stuff I haven't found in almost no other game: That guy you are playing is a normal person, and still you can beat em all (with some help and try hard). What I'm trying to say is, that you die a lot, but it's normal because that little guy is fighting against incredible creatures. God, even normal enemies can kill you sometimes. That's so realistic in my opinion. On the other hand, I found the game design outstanding. The creature's design is really unique and the environment and soundtrack are beautiful. The only thing I think that could have been better is the fighting mechanics. I'm not talking about enemies mechanics, but about the player mechanics. There are is a lot of potential that haven't been explored. Like real counter attacking, or more complex displacement.

I knew From Software before it was cool but admittedly never liked their low-budget games until Demon's Souls turned them around. This 5th entry in the larger series feels like the advertised conclusion, and more variations will (and should) come but this is a good place to end the DS narrative. The story is easier to figure out that in DS II and most of it is a semi-sequel to the 1st entry. Reference to my beloved Berserk manga (one of the inspirations for the franchise) are also at an all-time high and the overall experience is best described as a "greatest hits" of what came before. The upgraded presentation comes from Bloodborne, the world is best compared the DS 1 and the combat is a refined version of DS II. The infamous difficulty is hard to judge, as I became too accustomed by now, but it should fit in the middle, with Demon's Souls as the hardest and Bloodborne as the easiest entry. The always fun multiplayer works as it should and the ability to summon up to 3 helpers (1 additional enemy will then also get a chance to invade) will ease the sometimes merciless bosses. Half of these were the only "real" challenge to me and I settled on the Havel armor and the Fume Ultra Greatsword. Tank for life! I further recommend to show the highly atmospheric game to someone else, as my mother uncharacteristically watched the 2nd half of my run with great fun Newcomer should lastly start with DS1 or the faster Bloodborne and graduate to DS3. This "final" dish needs to be savored after all and I could use a polished Armored Core reboot.

Dark souls in its third instalment smoothed out its mechanics beautifully and in many ways was all I ever wanted after the first and second game. It is perhaps the least innovative of the three in new areas and threats but ultimately it's my favourite as it feels like a culmination of the first two games best qualities in one delectable masterpiece.

Challenging yes but new comers please understand, few games feel so rewarding and subtly complex. Each foe is a new pattern. Most weapons have distinctions in sword play / art. This adds a connections to your chosen gear/weapons that few other games can weave.

Love it and always will!

This is weird. I think it has some of the greatest bosses of the franchise and it has some amazing game combat, but its story and level design let me down and I Wish it was more original.

I wish the game had been more like the last part the world grinding together to dust. It's just most of the game feels like I'm seeing characters. I've seen before and I'm like them, but nostalgia is not why I come for Dark Souls games.

I would say is to like this Dark Souls 2 is about names and kingdoms who no longer exist and you cannot find anything about it because all is gone. This game really sits value on the names of the characters from the first game. It wants you to really find the sadness and look at them again, but it's just not working for me. I wanted original not more of the same.

Word finally goes for me is the DLC because it feels like something news happening. It feels so interesting and good and the bosses are some of the greatest I've seen in the franchise is just like all of the production all of them mechanics go together in an amazing chorus, but sadly the story left me cold.

The one finger game legs is weirdness. I wish it was more weird. I would set more bad points. It's just like the first two games was so absurd Adventures but this one feels most Like A Boss rush at most points.

I have played it for way too many hours because it is an amazing game. It is the best game of the year when it came out it lived in bit cold at some park, but don't take it long way, it's amazing even if I get the feeling of being no inspired at some point.
