After hearing a lot about the series, and my friend spamming me every day to buy Dark Souls III, I gave in. I bought it. I expected pain, struggle, and a refund after the first five minutes.. However, that's not what I got. I'll admit, I have a lot of experience in RPG games as I have over 300h in The Witcher 3, but this took quite some time to get used to. You'll constantly get destroyed by mob enemies, and even when you think you're safe, you'll get a giant tree that smacks you down. However, once you get the hang of it, this game is going to be one of the most enjoyable games you've played.

There is no minimap, there is no saving and loading (there are checkpoints, though). There's not a single indicator of what you're supposed to do. The game has a lot of sidequests, but you'll have no idea how to actually complete them, so the wiki will probably be your best friend in the game.

Multiplayer is a big thing in this game. You can either summon a white phantom, who can help you kill a boss (even though you should fight the bosses all by yourself, or you'll find the game too easy), or a red phantom, who will absolutely destroy you with his +10 Ultra Greatsword that he bought from Tesco.

I'm currently going through my NG+ and I don't plan to stop playing any time soon, so I definitely recommend this game to you.

I play with mouse & keyboard. I've never had a controller in my life, so I'd probably take a lot of time to get used to it. I didn't find the game too hard, however it is challenging. A lot of people get stuck on the first boss, since it is their first proper encounter in the game, but I trust you'll be able to defeat him.

One other thing: The game does not have keyboard prompts, but rather controller ones, so you should definitely think about that. Example: Instead of saying "E" to interact, it will give the green "A" button, found on the xbox controller. It is a confusing at first, but a quick look at the control settings and you'll find out what button you need to press.

You said it was your first Souls game is, so did you think the game was super hard compared to other rpg's. I'm thinking of buying Dark Souls 3 I just don't want to refund the game because i can't get past the first boss.
And do you play with a controller or keyboard?
