Dark Souls III Reviews
Dark Souls III is one of the most challenging games we've ever faced. The classic one step forward and two steps back scenario – seen in previous games – is ever present in III. But the rewarding feeling you get after clearing a zone or killing a boss you've been on for the past few hours is one that will never get old. If this truly is the last Souls game, then Dark Souls III is a fitting end to the series.
Hidetaka Miyazaki returns stronger than ever and brings us this closing saga that will delight the most experienced players. Spectacular designs, hypnotic soundtrack and hours of fun. It will test you to levels you would not have thought of. Prepare to die!

If Dark Souls 3 truly is the last in the series as we know it, then it's a worthy send-off. Weapon arts allow stylish and versatile new moves without tarnishing the purity of the combat system. Lothric's awe-inspiring locations provide visually stunning arenas for rigorous exploration and fierce face-offs with hosts of deadly enemies and even deadlier bosses. While not all the risky changes land as neatly as others, Dark Souls 3 is a powerful journey and the sequel the series truly deserves.
Dark Souls III is the Dark Souls of four years ago perfected in every way. Challenging, very rewarding and, above all, surprising despite resting on a very familiar foundation. Blessed are you, Miyazaki!

Dark Souls III is the perfect ending to the saga and offers a whole new experience and visual beauty that's greater than Bloodborne's, even with some technical issues. The multiplayer experience, especially the PvP competitive, is a true wonder. Hopefully Miyazaki and From Software will not leave this unique genre that we all love.

The finishing touch for a series that has set a chair in the modern video game world. Dark Souls 3 drinks from the Soulsborne and improves the formula so that even when you die a thousand times, you still want more.

Dark Souls III should serve as a bible for the often difficult exercise of the final episode of a franchise. In conclusion, this ultimate "Soulien" journey is quite simply the masterpiece undoubtedly imagined since the beginning of the series by its creator Miyazaki.

Give it a chance, stick with it and make each death a learning experience. It might just become your new favorite series.
Dark Souls III feels more like an extension of Dark Souls II mixed with a few fresh lessons learned from Bloodborne to create a richer and more powerful overall experience.
If that's your thing, then this game has tens of hours of bliss in store for you. Marquis de Sade used to say that it is always by way of pain one arrives at pleasure, and Dark Souls III certainly takes this concept to the next level.
I think it goes without saying that if you are a fan of Miyazaki's creations, you should run as soon as you can for a copy of Dark Souls III. In case you have committed the sin of never giving this franchise a chance, don't worry, because leaving aside its very intricate history that only some have been able to solve, this installment is optimal for those who are just entering the complicated world revolving around the brilliant works of FromSoftware.

Once you're a fan, Dark Souls isn't difficult. Hell, Dark Souls III might be the easiest of the series (with some notable exceptional elements). The appeal is all mental, because it's not about beating the game, or the bosses, or an area. It's about beating the part within all of us which tells us we can fail.
A content-packed, thrilling, exciting and moving rpg adventure sure to rekindle the fan bonfire. Outsanding visuals, setting and design with a strong gameplay backbone and lore finishes, fully worthy of its 59.99 pricetag. We may go hollow from framerate, and the occasionally laggy invasion, but the near-perfect multiplayer has likely settled this as our GOTY
Dark Souls 3 is wrapped in happiness in layers of pain, careful taste can often be repeatedly defeated, and finally get unprecedented sense of achievement and satisfaction.

Dark Souls 3 feels like the proper sequel to the first game. A lot of the odd mechanics from the second title were scrapped; instead, the game manages to update a lot of the core systems from the first game, borrow some from Demon's Souls, and even add a little bit of Bloodborne flavoring. And even though it feels like the true successor, it doesn't completely discount the second game's existence, as there are plenty of references to that game and world as well.
While the framerate issues were annoying, and did have a slight effect on my overall impressions of the game, Dark Souls III is without a doubt the best game of 2016 so far. I enjoyed pretty much everything about the game, the bosses, the enemies, the level design, the soundtrack, everything was just amazing. If it wasn't for the issues with the framerate along with some other smaller issues, then Dark Souls III would have been a 10/10 game. Even with these issues, it's a must buy game which I recommend everyone should buy on release date.
Like it's world, Dark Souls III is a ferocious beast, and what every action-RPG should strive to be. A rewarding experience for veteran players, the kingdom of Lothric is littered with remnants of the past. Simultaneously, it is also the most accessible for new players, with its more prevalent plot and kinder introductory stages. Dark Souls III is everything I could have wished for as a fan, and a marvellous conclusion to one of the greatest modern trilogies.
This is a game centered around learning, and even if the teacher can sometimes be punishing in its approach, I like encountering the challenges that From Software has created and then working through them, even if it takes time, tears and frustration, because there's no better feeling than to see a boss falling, cheer and then prepare for the future knowing that the next one will be even harder to deal with.
After all the sayings and unspoken, it must finally be acknowledged that Dark Souls 3 is truly the glorious end to the name of the Souls series.

Dark Souls III in terms of gameplay will take you away from other suls in some comments and take you with you to Bloodborne. On the other hand, the originality and spirit of the past parts of the game are still blown in this part and the same feeling is instilled in you.
