Pros:
- Implements fast travelling into the world with every bonfire.
- Nearly everything is viable
- Most bosses of any souls game
- Probably has the hardest souls bosses from the trilogy
- Provides challenege and difficulty

Cons:
- NPC invaders are way too frequent and ruin the flow of the game.
- Most bosses are too easy and lengthy.
- Some bosses require killing the enemies before hand 12 times, in order to despawn enemies and have a fair chance at a boss *cough* smelter demon.
- Soundtrack is the most lackluster of the 3 games.

Other points:
- Game is the most open world than the others and a sense of progression can be lost.
- Human effigy mechanic is great early on, but soon becomes irrelevant due to the amount of effigies you obtain.
- Lifegems make the game a lot easier and are buyable in mass bulk, removing the need for estus 90% of the time, and can be activated whilst moving, where as estus cannot.
- DLC gives plenty of content but can become frustrating due to the difficulty spike.

Overall this game is a good game in the dark souls franchise, however I would have to rate it the lowest of the 3 games due to the poorly implemented npc invasions, most bosses being fodder, and the most lackluster soundtrack of the 3 games. Optional bosses also feel like a chore as they do not fit in with the flow of the game too much.

Decent game 6.8/10
