Overall Dark Souls Experience
My name is Gal and I am a huge fan of the Dark Souls game searies. I strated playing the first game out of the three in 2013 and finished it twice (on PC and on XBOX 360). While playing Dark Souls 1 I became obsessed with the game and loved every single thing about it. Then, in 2014 Dark Souls 2 was born and a new saga began to the Dark Souls searies. I have played the second game the second it came out and I finished it a week after, and to be honest, it wasn't a blast. I had fun time playing it, but it was just not like the first game.
And then, Dark Souls 3 showed himself to the world in 2016...........

Current State in Dark Souls 3
Finished the game about 4 times. Have 3 PvP players. Playing a lot of PvP, and trying to get more characters to level 120 (PvP Meta).


First Cutcene
When I launched the game for the first time I was so happy to go back into the world of Dark Souls , the menu screen, the sounds, everything was exactly like good old Dark Souls . Then, the first cutscene started (and with it the goosebumps ^^) and god.... oh god the voice acting in this game is just... SO ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ GOOD! Already in the first cutscene you hear an old woman's voice telling you about the history of a place called Lothric and while hearing the woman's voice you see characters and lords that you know, you are going to meet and probably fight.

First Gameplay and Boss Impression
The gameplay starts, and you pick up your Ashen Flask after killing a bunch of dudes and then you light the first bonefire, wasn't so hard right? Meeting the first boss 2 second later gives you that breathtaking feeling that you are fighting against a gigantic armored guy that got some cool moves. After few tries you manage to take him down to half health and you see phase 2 , and oh god, that is just terrifying! Some dark creature is just cracking his way up from that guy and you need to fight against it! After managing to take that thing down you fully walk into.... the world of Dark Souls 3!

40 Hours Into the Game
You are geared up, got your own playstyle with unique swords and spells and you crawl deeper into the dark lore meeting up glorious and scary bosses. In your journey you get to choose things that will affect the end that you will get ( there are 3 endings to the game and another special end ) and to be honest, on my first playthrough, I didn't knew what I was actualy picking (Blind playthrough) but at the end I figured it out.


Story: 8/10 - I realy love the Dark Souls franchise lore (the things I know about it...) but I didn't like it so much how the developers delivered it in the third game. there are a lot of NPC questline that you most likely missed on your first playthrough and how the lore is being told... it is too foggy in my opinion.

Sounds (Music and Voice Acting) : 10/10 - The music in this game just matches so good into some situations and the voice acting is amazing.

Gameplay and Mechanics (Xbox 360 Controller) : 9/10 - I realy enjoyed how the game is being played and the new weapon arts is just great. I was sad to see that they took down the dual wielding stance and some of the mechanics are just hiddin inside the game and you only realise them when watching a toutorial or by accident.

PvP and Online Matchmaking: 8/10 - Dark Souls 3 is the first Dark Souls game I started playing PvP and I having super fun with it. The problem is that some of the weapons are just not balanced enough and the hitbox can be a pain in the ass sometimes.

Graphics and Sceneries: 10/10 - The game looks great and most of the sceneries are so amazingly good ( Irithyll of the boreal valley was just so beautiful ).


This was my first review, hope you guys liked it :)
