Dark Souls III Reviews
You start off as a weak, undead wanderer and eventually grow into a being that can kill god-like monsters, and it's not because the game's narrative needs you to be that powerful, but because you've worked so very hard to get to that point. It's an incredible feeling, and makes Dark Souls III an incredible game.
So Dark Souls 3 might not be the last game in the series, but we won't be surprised if it's taken in a different direction going forward. The remarkable improvements in terms of combat, level design, and boss encounters, made our time with it well spent despite its technical and user interface failings.
All in all, if Dark Souls III is indeed the final chapter in the Dark Soul series then at the very least the game will go out with a supernova sized bang. Multiple endings, hidden paths for the adventurous, optional bosses and levels, tons of items to find and despite the forward linear progression this is perhaps the game in the Dark Souls series. While this review does cover the Xbox One version, nothing else will be any different on either the PlayStation 4 or PC versions as well. That said you can't do wrong regardless of which system to you decide to play Dark Souls III on, just make sure that you do play it.
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.

When it comes down to it, Dark Souls 3 is an amalgamation of everything that came before it. If the framerate issues are fixed with an update, this is easily the best Dark Souls game yet.
Bosses in these games are always a highlight, and Dark Souls 3 has some excellent encounters that will surely kick your ass.
Dark Souls III is not for everyone, but for those that do give it the time required that it takes to learn, they’ll hopefully walk away from the game satisfied like I did. Because what they’ll end up playing is one of the best games of this year.
Any player who's been through this mill is prepared to die, but once more, that fantastic beacon of hope urging players to press forward and overcome each obstacle is shining as bright as ever. Because that's what Dark Souls is all about – perishing, persevering, and prevailing. No game series comes close to doing what Dark Souls does, and Dark Souls III has done it again.
All in all, Dark Souls III was a great sequel that delivered what was expected and concluded the trilogy for sure. Despite all the pressure and responsibility on them, Miyazaki and his team have prepared many details that will attract both old players and new Dark Souls players to the game.

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.
Among the best results of Dark Souls 3 is the clear distinction between greater accessibility and substance below the surface, in the face of a very difficult, long and intricate adventure like any good Souls must be.

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!

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 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.

With a faster combat mechanic than ever, better visuals and the same challenging gameplay as before, Dark Souls 3 delivers an adventure that will hook you up for many, many hours. It might not be as good as Bloodborne, mainly because some technical flaws, and a little less appealing world – but it’s close enough.

The level design is excellent, the gameplay neat, the artistic direction grandiose and the graphics of quality. Despite some minor technical issues, this game is undoubtedly one of the best "Souls", and even, without hesitation, already one of the best games of 2016.
