Pour plus d'infos, allez voir les reviews séparées des dlcs et jeu de base.
Le jeu est très bon, mais malheureusement l'ayant découvert après Elden Ring, je reste un poil sur ma faim.
Cela dit il est évident que c'est le meilleur de la trilogie et de très loin.
Très bonnes ost, quelques boss marquants, pas mal d'armes même si peu de variabilité, on est clairement sur le début du perfectionnement de la formule.
En finissant le dernier boss restant, j'avais juste envie de relancer Elden Ring...
Un jeu qui a sa place dans l'histoire, mais qui a objectivement vieillit un peu aujourd'hui.

Dark Souls 3 is more or less the direct sequel to Dark Souls 1. If Dark Souls 1 was important to you, Dark Souls 3 does its best to wrap up the legacy that the series started. Dark Souls 3 really does feel like the end of things, either it being a refined mishmash of DkS1, DkS2, and Bloodborne, or its story beats making it abundantly clear that things aren't meant to last forever.

The Ringed City is a suitable ending to the entire series, and the Ashes of Ariandel gives a bullshit but enjoyable boss fight at the end of it. The DLC doesn't feel like Dark Souls 2 where it heavily re-orientates the core experience. It's just add-on content that's fun and, well, an expansion of the base game.

The gameplay feels like an advancement of Dark Souls 1 with sprinkles of 2, and heavy influences of Bloodborne in there just to speed things up a bit compared to its predecessors. Unlike the bullshit you dealt with in DkS2 and adaptability, everything just feels "right" in DkS3. Movement feels appropriate, i--frames feel fixed, and stamina is back to mattering unlike Bloodborne where it's merely a suggestion. The magic system was revamped a-la Demon's Souls where you have a proper magic/special move meter instead of the archaic Dark Souls 1 and 2 method of spellcasting.

Dark Souls 3 is in that awkward place where DkS2 made a bunch of changes to the game's formula, fucked up a lot of it, and DkS3 spends time undoing most of what that game set out to do, for better and for worse. It lacks some of the more adventurous changes that Dark Souls 2 had, even the ones that worked out well. Whereas Bloodborne felt like a step aggressively forward and DkS2 felt like a step, well, somewhere, Dark Souls 3 is comfortable just slightly moving things forward. Its only real flaw is that it feels a bit safe, that it does not push the series towards any meaningful direction. Less friendlier takes would call the game uninspired.

It's just comfortable with cleaning things up and playing the series out with some nice fanservice. Which is fine and good.

I decided to replay the game so that I can finally finish the DLC. What do I think?
Uh.... I thought I would find it better in this replay, but no I found it worse.
Areas are much more linear than I remembered, bosses and even basic enemies all do the annoying thing of having combos with like 10 hits ending in a delayed hit to fuck with your rhythm, difficulty is all over the place despite the aforementioned linearity, DLC was just alright, etc.
It's still better than most games, but I'd rather just play Elden Ring or really anything else from FromSoft.
Also I decided to go for magic this run as I've never tried that in a Souls game. I soon found out magic kind of sucks on this one. Oh well.

Some years ago, I rented Dark Souls III and I played it for few hours but I wasn't good at it and I never got into the series.
After playing Bloodborne, I decided to play Dark Souls III again... but I played it properly this time.
As a Souls game, Dark Souls III tells its interesting story and lore via environmental storytelling, which is an interesting way to tell a story.
The gameplay is slower than in a game like Bloodborne and it feels a bit stiff but it's very varied and enjoyable nonetheless.
The bosses in the first half of the game are lacking unfortunately, they're easy and disappointing for the most part, but the bosses in the second half of the game really make up for it; they're fantastic, some of the best in the series in fact.
Also, the music is absolutely incredible and the graphics are still nice.
As for the DLCs, Ashes of Ariandel is extremely short but the mandatory boss is amazing.
The Ringed City lasts much longer, it has more bosses and an epic conclusion to the entire series.
Overall, the DLCs are actually very good! Ashes of Ariandel is not as good as it could've been but The Ringed City is great.
Unfortunately, just like in Bloodborne, the camera is awkward at times.
However, unlike in Bloodborne, the level design is very linear in Dark Souls III and there is a surprising amount of areas I didn't enjoy, to be honest.

Pros:
+ Rich lore
+ Fun & diverse gameplay
+ Challenging & epic bosses
+ Incredible music
+ Great DLCs

Cons:
- Awkward camera in some instances
- Linear level design and many annoying areas

Gameplay: 7/10
Content: 9/10
Music: 10/10
Graphics/Audio: 8/10

Final Rating: 9/10
- Amazing -
Dark Souls III is a very exciting, challenging and rewarding experience, and a fitting conclusion to the Age of Fire, even if it's not as compelling as some of the other "Souls" games from FromSoftware.

Do I recommend it?:
I'd highly recommend it to the fans of the series/genre and even to newcomers, despite the high difficulty.

o dark souls mais bem polido da trilogia, graças ao bom senhor aperfeiçoa a jogabilidade sem deixar a atmosfera de lado, a qualidade impecável em tudo te desafia a jogar-lo, o mesmo te dando um salve logo no início com um boss do caralho, só pra te lembrar que a jornada de um vazio é mais difícil que morar no Brasil no verão.

agora, depois de jogar os dois primeiros ds, percebo que esse jogo é muito virtuoso, tudo é grande, tudo é épico, um tom que casa muito bem com o novo ritmo acelerado das coisas, porém traz uma sensação de linearidade bem forte. E como tudo é bem equilibrado, o fã das interconexões malucas do primeiro jogo nem percebe a falta delas aqui quando se tem as melhores boss fights da franquia, só tem boss foda. Recomendo demais, joguei na promoção de 100% de desconto (peguei emprestado do meu mano)

Dark Souls III is the definitive Dark Souls experience, doing what the first game does but a lot more refined and elegant. The only two complaints I have are that the levels are very linear which I didn't really mind since suck at navigation in games and the base game isn't very hard, but that can also be because I am more experienced with the series. Apart from those nitpick which I don't really have too of an issue with, this is one of the most solid games I have ever played. It has such a solid set of bosses with some of the best bosses I have fought in any game to bosses that are just okay, but it is impressive the bosses are never bad. The areas take the original's dark and dingy style and uses it to create a lot more unique areas with it with twisted and strange architecture and land masses. The combat is a lot more fluid than the original and is a lot closer to Elden Ring while still keeping in the quirks of the original Dark Souls' combat. In conclusion, I absolutely loved Dark Souls III and as I play more Souls games, it's going to be very hard for anything to top this one.

Oh my god I get it. I finally understand the love for this game and this series. The design at play with Dark Souls 3 is masterful. I won’t lie and say the game is flawless and every area is perfect- I have the standard gripes with areas such as the poison swamp- but DS3 more than makes up for those complaints with the bosses. For awhile I thought the difficulty of this game was a little overrated, but Pontiff, the Twins, and Soul of Cinder are a real challenge, and I adore all of those fights and the adrenaline that comes with them. Miyazaki’s storytelling is a prime example of the kind of storyteller I want to be, taking a show-not-tell approach. I really think this type of narrative shines in the gaming medium, and especially with the souls games. I can’t wait to play the others.
