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 3 review Dark Souls III review;: Dark Souls 3 is absolutely pinnacle of the series Fantastic!. Has some of the strongest music and boss fights in the series; all bound together by Bloodborne-esque combat. This is not a bad thing. It has all the hallmarks and they go together beautifully. The level design is very tight, the world is woven in a very believable way, and the the whole game comes together that forms a whole that's challenging and amazing to play. Please play it!

*Review: Dark Souls 3 - 10/10* Se o DS1 é o pai e o DS2 é o filho problemático, o *DS3 é o neto que pegou o melhor dos dois e virou uma máquina de chefes*. É o encerramento perfeito da trilogia. *1. Gameplay e Combate: 100/10*
Mais rápido e agressivo que o DS1. Pegaram a fluidez do Bloodborne e jogaram aqui.
Rolamento tem mais i-frames, armas têm "Weapon Arts" e o ritmo é insano. Combate de chefes virou espetáculo. Você não só luta, você dança com o chefe. É técnico, bonito e brutal. *2. Chefes: 11/10* Sério, é aqui que a FromSoftware ficou maluca. *Abyss Watchers, Pontiff, Dancer, Nameless King, Sister Friede, Soul of Cinder*... Quase todos os chefes são memoráveis. Trilha sonora épica, fases, lore pesado. DS3 tem a melhor line-up de chefes da franquia inteira. Ponto. *3. Mundo e Level Design: 9/10*
Não é tão interconectado quanto Lordran, mas os cenários são os mais bonitos da série. Farron Keep, Irithyll, Anor Londo de volta, Lothric Castle... tudo parece pintado.
Perde 1 ponto porque tem mais "corredor" e menos atalho circular que o DS1. Mas ainda assim é lindo e cruel. *4. História e Lore: 10/10*
É o fim do ciclo do fogo. Tudo está morrendo, apodrecendo e pegando fogo pela última vez.
Cheio de referências ao DS1. Ver Anor Londo coberto de neve e vazio bate forte na nostalgia.
A história fecha arcos de 3 jogos em 1. É melancólico e lindo. *5. Dificuldade e Build: 10/10*
Balancearam muito bem. Magias ficaram boas, builds de força/destreza/qualidade/fé todas são viáveis.
A dificuldade tá no ponto: mais difícil que DS1, mais justo que DS2. *DLCs: The Ringed City e Ashes of Ariandel: 10/10*
A From guardou o melhor pro final. *Sister Friede e Gael* são top 3 chefes da história dos games. As DLCs expandem a lore e fecham tudo com chave de ouro. *Veredito Final: 10/10*
*Dark Souls 3* é o jogo mais "polido" da trilogia. Se você quer ação frenética + chefes absurdos + lore triste e bonito, é esse. Ele não tem a descoberta pura do DS1, mas tem o melhor combate e os melhores momentos "HOLY ****" da série. Pra mim é o melhor Souls pra recomendar pra quem tá começando hoje. *Nota Final: 10/10 - Adeus, chama. Obrigado, Miyazaki.*

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.

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

Dark Souls 3 is the best in the series. It has better combat than Bloodborne, the best music, and the best level design since the original Dark Souls. But above else is how amazing its bosses are; each fight is unique and plays differently. Overall this is a massive step up from the last game, and I think it might be the best game FROMSOFT has ever done.
