The enemies are much faster than in previous games, and for the most part a lot smarter as well, though they still seem to have issues with grasping the concept of doors and will often get stuck jogging in place for a couple of seconds. You might feel invincible with your speedy dodge-roll, improved character handling, and overall better combat mechanics, but when it comes to the enemies, these are the finest monstrosities Lothric could produce, each one capable of ending your overenthusiastic life at the flick of a knife. On the other hand, there should be very little controversy about the combat itself as it has been sped up in all the right areas, while still retaining that slow, methodical feeling we've all come to love about Dark Souls. Ragged flowing cape and a giant sword? Badass status confirmed! Its not very realistic, but then again neither is equipping two rings alongside the heaviest, bulkiest armor you can find, and then flipping around like a ninja as you could in Dark Souls 1 and 2. In a bit of a controversial, but to me very welcome change, you can now achieve the fastest level of dodge-rolling at 70% equipment load, which means you are able to sport whatever look you want to, and still have actual mobility in combat.

The combat is another good example as Dark Souls 3 is much, much faster than Dark Souls 1 and 2, especially when it comes to dodge-rolling and enemy attacks. The first thing one will notice with Dark Souls 3 is that its an evolution of all the concepts found in previous games, with the biggest influence coming from Bloodborne, what with the numerous dilapidated hamlets, dirty villagers driven mad by things far beyond their understanding, and a constant oppressive aura that spreads throughout the majority of locations. So what exactly makes Dark Souls 3 so compelling, and how does it match up against the entirety of the extended Souls family?

All of my waking hours have been spent in an endless pursuit of souls to feed my boundless hunger for fancy new armor sets, and despite praising the Sun I don't remember the last time I've seen it. I have become something alike the hollows that roam the land, utterly consumed by Dark Souls 3.Īt this point its fairly well known that Dark Souls 3 is good, but I don't think simply 'good' does it justice given that I am currently thinking long and hard on whether Dark Souls 1 is still my favorite game of all time. Ever since I got my hands on Dark Souls 3 I was simply transfixed.
