Dark Souls™ III

"It's Hard but forgiveable"

It's Highly anticipated FromSoftware title since Oct 2015 when they launched "Gameplay reveal Trailer". I personally glad for the Game lived up to the Hype. And yet, Gameplay feels more like Dark Souls 1 with the Bloodborne built-in graphic engine with no power stance skill (DS II feature) and non-upgradable Armor set in-game, require Skill over stats, leveling on this game it's only 1/3 way to Git Gud, the rest are majorly depending on your Skills and weapon usage.

it's true gameplay last around 30 Hours, i had completed the game around 28 Hours, and i had feeling this is shortest Dark Souls game in DS Franchise.

Class: Deprived
Weapon: Broadsword+10 (Except Yhorm)
Level: 161 (I used level cheater due to busy work day and increased VIT for avoiding Phat ROLL)
Magic: Homeward Cast only (No Other Sorcery/Miracles Used)
Style: Solo Mode (No Co-op)

Game features really beautiful Orchestra Music Soundtrack, especially on Bossfights and Main Menu Theme.

Game also required beefy rig in order to run it, let say GTX 960 with 4GB graphic memory is at least for 1080p constant, i'm encountering stuttering issues especially when entering Road of Sacrifices and Slow loading textures when passing through area/door, but it seems recent patches has fixed this issues [1.05].

+ Epic Bossfight in-game (Epic way to die in-game too!)
+ creatively well designed enemies AI (Movement and Attack)
+ returning elements from DS PTDE
+ Atmospheric and Beautiful world of Lothric
+ Beautiful Soundtracks in-game

- Gameplay feels too short for A-RPG genre (30 Hours long) for first run
- Plenty of Shortcuts, world seems smaller.
- "Does not open from this side" door bruh.....

Despite in short of lengthiness, still this is really the best Dark Souls yet... and it's final one according to Miyazaki (The Director), reported on working new title IP recently.
