Good but not great. Dark Souls 3 imroved a lot of things but also fell flat in so many areas as well. The game doesn't have the depth we've all come to love and expect from the series and has an underlying casul feel to it. NG+ is very uninspired and is nothing like DaS2. There are a lot of fan service and nostalgic moments along with great NPC lore but overall it was a very straight linear and unchallenging experience. I blame a lot of the dumbing down and simplicity on bloodborne so if you really enjoyed bloodborne you will enjoy this, however I would say this is borderline the worse souls game of the series. It falls victim to the modern day trend of leaving out content in lieu of future DLC packs which is pretty disappointing.

There are bugs and pvp issues galore but that's normal for these games in the beginning. Nonetheless after beating it twice already pretty easily as well I can't imagine I will play a lot more until the DLC rolls out. You need to make 2-3 characters to fully appreciate this game because of the level design, almost 60% of it is void for multiplayer if you are lv 60+. Overall its still a good game but as the last souls title in a glorious series it felt very empty at times and disappointing in the end. I was left with a sense of "Thats it?" especially when it came to NG+ and other end game content such as PvP.

Ganking seems a lot more abundant this time around and so is chugging sunny D. High level pvp has been reduced to who has the better cheese, mid level is okay but the real action is low level pvp think lv 25 range hence the need for 3 characters. Overall the only 2 bosses that were difficult are Nameless King and Aldrich, everything else was pretty easy sailing. There were no ultra troll moments in the envrionments or traps and mazes to traverse through as well. 8/10
