If you enjoy a challenge and don’t mind the stress, Dark Souls 3 is definitely for you! The battles and the visuals alone will give you much to fiddle with as you attempt to master the deadly world of the game. The battles are strategic and, when you win, the feeling is amazing! The whole process of learning the movements of your enemies and reacting accordingly. There is a feeling of satisfaction when you beat a boss that’s practically the size of a small building – especially if that certain boss has been killing you several times for the past hour. The game is ruthless and, if you’re up to the challenge, you’ll enjoy every bit of it. Simple everyday mobs will get the job done if you lower your guard. Whatever the story lacks though is simply made up for by the epicness of your battles. I knew I needed to hunt these Lords of Cinder but not much more. The story is very… minimal? At least for the first 3 areas, I had little clue of what was going on. Not Much Story Really but a LOT of Good Action I’d mess up still but it’d be less and less. I found myself fumbling through controls A LOT in beginning but got used to it after a few hours. Maybe Souls Veterans already mastered the controls of DS3 and it’s as second-nature to them as breathing. To be fair, maybe it was just because I was a noob. Would you believe that I accidentally rolled to my death several times before getting here?” Smooth Controls but Takes Getting Used to “Same here. Oh and that fire effect on your clothes when enkindled is sooo nice!
It used elements like darkness perfectly and while a lot of the parts I got to play was during the day, the excellent use of shadows made things look ominous even when daylight tried to make things look safe. I literally took a few second to take in the scenery when I got to new areas. Yes, I know I said the same thing a few seconds ago but only because STUNNING is the best way to describe it, in my opinion. I spent the next few days getting through the first 3 areas and here are my thoughts about the game. Yes, overconfidence will KILL YOU. and OMG, I enjoyed every minute of it! I have to say, that everything I heard about the game was true. So I made my character and chose the dual-wielding Mercenary and got through the basic tutorial of the game. So without further ado, I started the game and braced to get my ass handed to me several times. I remembered my 90s gaming training where DIFFICULTY was the name of the game (see: Mario, Contra). It was either GIT GUD or GO HOME and, quite honestly, I definitely got challenged. I’ve heard tales of how the game prides itself on its difficulty. I am ashamed to admit that Dark Souls 3 was my first foray into the Souls series.
