Dark Souls III

It is an achievement in game design and probably the best Souls game ever created by the masterminds of FromSoftware.

Dark Souls III is the latest effort in a formula refined to the maximum extent possible. One of the most elaborate and important games so far this year, which will mark a before and after in the history of this kind of games.

Dark Souls III is all-consuming, it’ll drive you up the wall, and the sense of accomplishment you’ll get when everything clicks and you go on to finish that final boss... well, it’s simply beyond compare [June 2016, p70]

While it’s still impossible on a personal level for me to admit that any of Dark Souls’ siblings could better it, when taken as a whole, complete experience, Dark Souls III may be the best chapter of the Souls series that From Software has crafted. A fitting way to end, if that will indeed be the fate of the franchise.

Though technically iffy, Dark Souls 3 is yet another example of how worlds should be built: interlocking, beautiful, and interesting. The combat feels quick and fresh, and despite a few bosses that feel unfair, it's a glorious return to form for the series.

Glaring and recurring technical flaws aside, the game goes back to its roots in both story and gameplay, and will certainly help fans wash the bad taste of Dark Souls II out of their mouths. I can’t wait to see what From has in store for Dark Souls 4.

In so many important ways — its world design, its pacing, the technology powering it — Dark Souls 3 falls short of the mark. Do you play for the joy and stress of exploring dangerous, intricately crafted places full of hidden elements and endless side paths? Then I suspect you'll join me in being a little let down with the direction this sequel has gone in.

I love this game I don't know how to explain how it felt playing this game for the first time but I go back and play it and I get this random short feeling deep in my chest that reminds me of when I first played it and it makes me happy that it was so fun but a Slight melancholy feeling of reminiscence on how fun it was and that I wont be able to play It Again for the first time. It matters the way you play it the first time but if done just right way it will stay with you for the rest of your life

Best of both worlds of Dark Souls 2 and Bloodborne, with its own innovative QoL and level design decisions.

[SPOILER ALERT: This review contains spoilers.]

Weakest soulsborne game. It's the dodge-roll simulator boss rush personified. Dark Souls 3 lacks atmosphere, innovation, immersive level design, cohesiveness and is too fan-servicey. A lot of areas are reused assets from Bloodborne and some of the bosses are straight up bad. This game gets a good rep for its bosses but in truth there's 2 bad bosses for every good one. You can tell Miyazaki was forced to make this game due to the backlash of DS2 but he flopped pretty hard on this one.

Buen juego, la verdad. Es una copia un poco triste de Elden ring, pero bueno. Esta bien divertido, excepto por el pequeño detalle de perder la cordura muriendo durante horas y horas para pasarte UN jefe. Por lo demás un juego aceptable
