This is a truly epic journey, from your first faltering steps across gloomy cliffs to striding like a lord-slayer through Lothric Castle.

Dark Souls 3 does its best to reinvent and remix what’s come before, but the game is ultimately unable to overcome a feeling of familiarity.

Dark Souls III is still tough, but it tries harder than its predecessors to avoid turning players away. For the first time, I'm really enjoying adventuring through a Dark Souls world.
Dark Souls III is a superb addition to From Software's challenging series, fat with monstrously hard boss battles, a rich world ripe for exploration, and the ability to punch god-like beings in the face. But what about the PC version, specifically?Want...
When Dark Souls emerged, so brooding and so strange, in 2011, it had that most treasured of all video game attributes: novelty. Dark fantasy action games are a staple of a medium that rarely ventures from the agreed confines of genre. But only players...
Dark Souls 3 doesn't take many risks, but when you have fans that played Demon's Souls, Dark Souls, Dark Souls 2 and Bloodborne, you need something to keep the series fresh and new. Dark Souls 3 doesn't offer anything like that, which means you should...
From gigantic bosses to normal sized enemies, anything in this game can and will kill you at some point, this is a fun but extremely difficult game. I don't know what the season pass includes but Dark Souls II's DLC was apparently really good so maybe...
