I think it's time to share my point of view of this game and pause it for a bit.
I had my first contact with the souls series on YouTube, with random videos popping out on my recommended page, and I decided to buy the trilogy, embarking on a new video game genre.
Dark Souls 3 brings an end to the trilogy in a dramatic and existential way, with a difficult and emotional path. This game is quite packed with well-detailed locations and a good diversity of enemies, as well as interesting bosses very up to the challenge.
Story-wise, the way Dark Souls 3 tells the story is like all the other souls-like game from FromSoftware: through NPC dialogue and item description. That is a very very interesting way to tell the story, as well to explain some lore.
The gameplay is quite simple, but very rhythmic and focused on timing. Attention to movements, the character build used, patience and acceptance of failure is extremely important to progress and not be stuck forever. In my case, I find myself stuck and I accept that.
I encourage everyone to try this out. Fear not. We all know all soul games are considered impossible, too big and all over the place. It's a bit like that, but the learning curve in Dark Souls 3 is immensely well designed, with a small tutorial at the beginning and an appropriate gradual difficulty climb.
I feel like it's time to put Dark Souls 3, as well as the first Dark Souls, on the shelf and give the trilogy a healthy break. Let's not talk about Dark Souls 2. Elden Ring, I'm ready.
