Customers recognize Dark Souls III's compelling gameplay, praising its graphics and smooth controls, as well as its immersive story and epic boss battles. The game's challenging difficulty is frequently noted, along with some comments about the controls requiring adjustment. Many appreciate the well-designed levels and diverse weaponry. However, some players find the high difficulty punishing.
Big fan of the Dark Souls games and Dark Souls 3 is one heck of a game! Knew FromSoft wouldn't disappoint so I made the smart choice and purchased my Xbox One copy at Best Buy using MyBestBuy account and saved quite a bit!

I have played the last two entries in the souls series. This is an excellent entry and worthy predecessor. The game is deep; and you can build your character in anyway you see fit, be it magic, strength or a combination of both. The game play is fast paced and requires precision play. The areas are quite large and have multiple ways to progress. The only issue I have with the game is the frame rate drops in some select areas (2) and the game play suffers substantially. They are still playable, but in a game where timing and speed counts this has a drastic effect. That being said the game overall runs quite well; the boss battles are both challenging and rewarding.

The first Dark Souls is one of my favorite games of all time, so you can imagine my disappointment when Dark Souls II failed to live up to it. Not that it was a bad game, but there were certainly some strange design choices that took away some of the enjoyment. Thankfully, Dark Souls III is here and expands upon what made the first one so great. The combat is as enjoyable as ever, the difficulty is just right, and the environments are visually stunning and actually fit together once again. Once again, there are some truly thrilling boss battles, this time with some unique surprises (Abyss Watchers, anyone?) that up the challenge even more. This is one of the few must-own titles of the current generation.
