Dark Souls III review
Exceptional
by Cynthia

The last part of one of the best franchises of these last years. 

The combat is unsurpassable, extremely stimulant and with no doubt the best part of the game, and thus, the PvP and Co-op as well. Each build holds enormous possiblities that will take you through its own special path.

There is nothing to complain about neither the art nor the ambience, however:
The plot is not as charismatic and more forgettable than the first Dark Souls'.
The technical design of the areas and enemies is at times questionable. Lots of them are very unique, some others are just... detestable, too tedious, or simply nothing actually good or interesting.
The DLC's are decent, but improvable.

Don't let this fool you though; Dark Souls III is overall an incredible game to spend lots of hours into, especially with other kindled ones alongside you.

One of my all time favs.

Dark Souls but faster.
Beautiful levels, stellar bossfights and twin goddamn greatswords.

One of the best games ever made. Highly recommended to anyone who seeks a challenge, complex lore, and overall fun mechanics of the game.
Continues the stellar level design and artstyle. Combat is a lot faster, both in weapon movesets and in enemies/bosses. A more than worthy continuation

«Time-tested»
Very complete, with a lot of things to do to complete the story. It gave me 40 hours of fun.
Another great entry in a great franchise.

Dark Souls III took me like 3 years to beat. I played it over 3 different periods where I took long breaks in between. It was difficult. It was frustrating at times. But I kept coming back and when I beat it I felt relief and accomplishment. Dark Souls 3 is very well done and is not for everybody. But it is for me.

Final Score: A-
