Bloody dark souls...

Where to start with this game? I suppose its stand out feature the difficulty. The souls series has always been famous for its insane difficulty and lurning curb and dark souls 3 is no exception a few seconds of zoning out or one wrong step and you will be punished for it although as in previous series it never feels unfair (looking back on it anyway..) you die because you've made a mistake and as you learn more and grow with the game it will continue to test you on your ability which is probably why overcoming bosses and difficult areas has to be one of the most satisfying things in gaming. If you are having trouble and seem stuck you can use summon signs to help other people or use other peoples signs to get help in Jolly co-operation! yourself. all in all darksouls does not disapoint with its difficulty and gameplay its all there and even with some new features such as "Weapon Arts" which add a new dynamic to fights and are great fun to use.

And the sound in this game is on point, from the beautiful music design to the sound of your weapon smashing into the ground as you swing a greatsword its all there and it all fits. This also happens to be the best looking souls game to date, you will have constant moments of walking out into a scenic area and just soaking in an amazing view and the attention to detail is great here. Although in souls fashion it still has weird out of place looking graphical glitches where you obviously arn't supposed to go but those are minor gripes. The networking also has a-lot of bugs at the moment from phantom summons not being able to enter fog walls, to them being straight up invincible hopefully this will all be fixed in time as general desync seems to be less potent as it was in previous titles.

If you are a new comer to the series or an old souls veteran I can strongly recommend this game. The lore and universe is rich and deep and the gamplay is immensely satisfying. 9/10
