Dark Souls III

Part of the Dark Souls series

(4.5)

Steam

2016

Dark Souls III is a 2016 action role-playing video game developed by FromSoftware and published by Bandai Namco Entertainment for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Microsoft Windows. It is the fourth overall entry of the Souls series and the final installment of the Dark Souls trilogy. It is an action role-playing game played in a third-person perspective. Players have access to various weapons, armour, magic, and consumables that they can use to fight their enemies. Bonfires serve as checkpoints. The Estus Flask is the consumable used for healing in Dark Souls III. Ashen Estus Flasks restore focus points (FP), which can be used for magic or weapon arts. Hidetaka Miyazaki, the creator of the series, returned to direct the game after handing the development duties of Dark Souls II to others in FromSoftware.

My favorite souls game!

I feel that this is the iteration in which they perfected the overall difficulty (outside of summons and what not), especially for the boss fights. This is what Dark Souls is known for, and they did a perfect job making it a rewarding experience that I have played through more than any other souls game.

When it came out it was the best looking souls game (trumped by Elden ring now of course), and I think still has the best soundtrack in the series, particularly for boss fights. Two of my favorites in the entire series are the Abyss Watchers and the Twin Princes.

Although the story is a bit convoluted, it puts a nice wrap on the main souls series, and had 4 unique endings, increasing replayability.

The DLC was similar quality with more great bosses, and a epic final battle.

If I can think of any flaw it would be the somewhat linear nature of the game, but there are enough branching paths and optional areas to make that point negligible. After playing Elden ring, I also somewhat appreciate the smaller size and more linear paths for replayability sake, but it is a balance (topic for another day).

Souls 3, amazing game. Probably my favorite thus far in the series. Elden Ring is next on my play list so I may need to come back and update this.

This game took the best parts of 1 and 2 and combined it into one. It was unforgiving like 1 but it looked and felt great like 2. The combat mechanics surpassed was 2 did, which is why its my favorite to date.

And then there was fire. DS3 is easily the best of the Dark Souls games imho - everything from how the world is connected and overlaps to the weapons, specs, combat, and weapon arts leave this title begging to be played again and again. The game makes several improvements on the franchise over DS2, doing away with the cruel health nerf every time you die. The bosses are punishing, the world is forlorn and beautiful, and the player has to discover for themselves their purpose and next steps.
