Dark Souls III Reviews
Dark Souls III is absolutely worth the price tag. You can easily drop hundreds of hours into it and still be enjoying the experience. It's worth noting that the game is significantly more difficult than Dark Souls II and slightly more difficult than Dark Souls.
For fans of the series, Dark Souls III is certainly a worthy title to add to your collection.
If you are new to the Souls games, the third instalment is a great place to start. The opening tutorial does a grand job of telling you how to survive and then it’s up to you how you progress after that. If you’ve been told, or heard, these games are difficult, they aren’t lying. Just don’t give up and you’ll be rewarded with one of the greatest gaming satisfaction of this generation.
Friend and foe both seem more characterized and fleshed out than ever before, and the remarkable urge to discover what lies ahead manifests itself as motivation to progress after each death.
The long awaited finale of the Dark Souls franchise stays a bit too close to its roots.
Dark Souls III isn't revolutionary, but it's taken me on a ride I won't be forgetting anytime soon.
Dark Souls 3 fires on all fronts providing equal measures of mystery and exhilaration. If this is truly the last Souls game then FromSoftware has ended this series off with a heck of a bang.
While the game is an absolute masterclass in action RPG design, there is an inescapable sense that old ground is being re-tread. A reliance on geographical call-backs, stock-enemies and series in-jokes muddy the tone and mystique that made its direct predecessors such a joyfully bleak experience.While the superbly visceral gameplay, intense boss fights and improved online features mark FromSoftware's latest out as one of 2016's best, Dark Souls 3's flickering fire is ultimately engulfed by its own bright history.
Dark Souls III is one of the demonstrations that video games (some, like movies) are pure art, without any possible discussion and its director is the greatest current genius in the sector, also without discussion. Miyazaki says that he is going to take a long vacation and that there will be no more Dark Souls for now.

From a series that came out of anonymity, from darkness (pun intended), today Dark Souls is part of a mainstream audience - the result of its excellence only. Throughout the franchise's history there have been many evolutions and some stumbling blocks, but it is safe to say that Dark Souls III has reached the ideal balance and is the most refined product in the Souls series.

FromSoftware (p)raises the bar once again
Dark Souls III certainly lives up to the brutal difficultly levels of its predecessors. It constantly gets you to push your boundaries as you're encouraged to press deeper in each run, plus the tension and challenge very rarely lets up, even if it does occasionally resort to cheap tricks. It's robust, exciting combat is by far the most appealing element of this game, offering many ways to fight, allowing players a great deal of depth to character building and giving them many choices on how they would like to proceed through this melancholy world.
Dark Souls III continues the tradition of providing tough action RPG gameplay within a complex world quite well.
Dark Souls' tenacious pursuit of gaming idealism, even at three (or five) entries deep, remains a virtuous enterprise. It's also a show that, no matter how well executed, loses potency with each consecutive performance.
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.

Dark Souls III is an amazing game and a worthy sequel among its predecessors. It changes up the formula in minimal ways to make the game stand out and feel fresh. The graphics and attention to detail is out standing. Everything about this game is wonderful and you should purchase it right away!
Dark Souls 3 is an amalgamation of all the Souls games with a little bit of Bloodborne added in for good measure. Featuring various game mechanics, enemies, weapons, and even a location or two from other entries in the series along with some new stuff along the way, From Software has definitely developed an excellent, and worthy, Dark Souls sequel.
Give it a chance, stick with it and make each death a learning experience. It might just become your new favorite series.
Yes, indeed. From Software has crafted another fantastic title, one that calls back to the great parts of the series' history while still having an identity of its own. If this is how Dark Souls ends, then it will go out burning brightly.
