As a veteran of the Souls series (as well as Bloodborne), I am certainly very excited to look forward to the third iteration of RPG action on the dark fantasy theme from From Software. Once I tried it, I went back into a game that had a high level of difficulty but also gave a satisfactory reward.
If you want to be skeptical, actually the formula brought From Software in Dark Souls III is not entirely different from Dark Souls II. But, precisely because of the well-processed basic gameplay, I do not think there is a significant change to be able to attract the interest of this series of players who are hearted masochist steel.
Blur - Dark Souls III is still a game with stories that can not be explained with certainty. Everyone has their own version of the story.
In Dark Souls III you are a dead person called Unkindled. When you are raised from the grave, you are assigned to restore (more precisely) the throne of the five Lord of Cinder.
Just like the previous Souls series (or Bloodborne), the story in Dark Souls III is told by using the environment and the goods as a medium of telling. Little stories and various details of the world you can know through the description of goods and the depiction of the environment that you meet. But that does not mean those two things will explain fully what happened.
Hidetaka Miyazaki as director of the game seemed to want the Souls series players to guess for themselves what really happened in this game by giving the story with as fake as possible. This I think is quite positive and actually evokes interesting discussions from players who have played Dark Souls III.
The story in Dark Souls III is full of obscurity like the previous series, but I do not think it will be a hundred percent you ignore. This is because you will be much more exposed with gameplay that can make someone release the controller and swear in front of the screen.
Heavy and Full of Calculations - Dark Souls series old players should not need to adapt much to what is offered in Dark Souls III. For the uninitiated, Dark Souls III is an action RPG with a "heavy" movement and requires the right timing.
Every time you make moves like slashing or dodging, you will use some of the stamina meter you have. If your stamina is depleted, then you must move to a safe place or stay for a moment to recover it.
Thus, the movement you will do is quite limited and you are required to be able to perform any action as efficiently as possible. However, being efficient will not be enough because you are also required to have a good spatial awareness. Not infrequently there will be enemies or chasms at your destination to avoid.
Back again to the keyword "heavy", everything you do here will be slow and it's not without reason. Souls series always try to make you feel very weak when doing something.
Therefore, you are required to be able to calculate when to carry out the actions as precisely as possible. The game feels to be a survival action game that requires a high level of game with a small fault tolerance.
Difficult? Of course, but that does not mean it can not be mastered. In order to reach the required level of skill, you will meet death often. Yes, very often.
Because Life is Too Short - Death is a core element in the Souls series that not only makes you learn, but also that will keep you going ... or it can make you stress. Calm down, I think the first possibility will often happen in Dark Souls III.
But that does not mean there is no penalty when you die. The Souls series has a Soul Drop mechanism in which when you die, the Soul you've collected (the currency for level up and buying stuff) will fall where you die.
If you die again before successfully retrieving it, the fallen Soul will disappear with the amount of Soul you are carrying. This mechanism makes you have to determine the best strategy for the progress you have done does not end up in vain.
Old and New Mechanisms - The weapons you can use in Dark Souls III are quite a lot and have various characters. Starting from swords of various sizes, spears, to a variety of exotic weapons will be ready to help you defeat any existing opponent.
Following what's in the Bloodborne, now your armor can not be strengthened so you focus more on upgrading your weapons. The weight of the equipment you wear will also affect the running speed and dodge, so make sure you choose the equipment that matches your style of play.
Especially for magic, Dark Souls III again has an MP system (or this one called FP). FP here is also not only used for magic attacks just because there is a new battle mechanism in Dark Souls III called Weapon Skill.
With Weapon Skill, you will be given some new moves that will add variety of attacks that you can muster. The use of FP also makes the attack with Weapon Skill felt limited, so you feel like you have the ultimate stance to deploy in a pinched moment.
Thanks to the variety of existing gameplay, Dark Souls III feels to be quite personal in the development of his character. Customization in Dark Souls III is definitely not as deep as the RPG in general, but I think the stuff that's provided is pretty complex for an RPG action.
A Dangerous and Dangerous World - Dark Souls III has a setting in a dark medieval fantasy world called Lothric that looks dirty but full of detail. Colors in Lothric may feel very monochrome with gray, but it does not make the world unattractive to explore.
Following the tradition-level design that exists in every Souls series, Dark Souls III has a very wide level and is also evocative to be explored. The absence of a map or a minimap may make navigation in Dark Souls III difficult, but I do not think anyone would be lost in the dark world.
You will find various secrets in various corners of the place. The secret can be stuff, an enemy, or maybe a trap. Level design that interconnects one area with another also gives the impression widely. Not infrequently you will also find a variety of shortcuts to be able to move quickly.
Enemies that are presented have a move set and AI which I think is quite amazing. A little rash of course, you can immediately be exhausted by enemy countless weak.
In addition, the pattern of attacks that are launched is quite diverse so you should always be vigilant in the fight with anyone. Oh, do not forget also the animation that looks flexible and horrible.
Of course, the vigilance I mentioned must be maintained when dealing with the boss. From Software seems to always try to make every fight with all the boss is very imprinted in the mind.
The bosses have a very savage form, stance, and movement. Guaranteed you will have difficulty when facing them all, but that does not mean you can not win it.
In my opinion, this is the ultimate experience to be provided From Software through Dark Souls III. Once you succeed in defeating the boss with a high level of difficulty and terrible form, you seem to have achieved a great success.
This is actually not a new thing in the world of video games, but From Software it seems to succeed in bringing the right formula so you always feel challenged. Nevertheless, I must admit if Dark Souls III sometimes feels the middle mengerjai the players.
Jolly Cooperation! - If Dark Souls III still sounds difficult to play, then there is a multiplayer element that will make the game much easier. You'll find messages written down the street as long as you play. Uniquely, the messages are written by other players.
Usually the message contains instructions on what you will meet in front of you. Not infrequently also you will find a trap message to jump into the abyss or about curhatan players Dark Souls III which I think is quite hilarious.
You can also call other players through Summon Sign which is guaranteed to help to defeat the boss that you find too difficult. Besides being helped, you can also help others in the same way as well.
It is worth noting also that you can be invaded by other players who try to kill you and you can do the opposite. The multiplayer elements presented make the lonely world of Dark Souls III become more lively because you know there are other people who are struggling also in different places.
Un Monotonous Monochrome Presentation -
As I mentioned earlier, Dark Souls III is filled with gray in the environment, but that does not mean there are no other colors as well. Thanks to the highly detailed design environment, the visuals in Dark Souls III look very beautiful even though it looks dark.
The game engine previously used to work on Bloodborne seems to be re-used fairly well by From Software in Dark Souls III. This can be seen from the number of objects that can be seen until various other visual effects that make the game becomes more stunning to see.
Review Dark Souls III | Screenshot 5 For a more perfect experience, I suggest to play Dark Souls III using powerful PC gaming. Different from the previous series that is less fun for PC users, Dark Souls III has a much wider visual option and has good performance on PC.
Music is also one of the things that bring the atmosphere in Dark Souls III to be very epic. Although it is not in all parts of the level accompanied by music, but with the music is very majestic in the boss battle, the experience you will feel to be much more memorable.
Conclusion - Dark Souls III is a new iteration of the Souls series that I find very satisfying. With well-maintained gameplay, eye-catching level design, as well as a battle against the mind-bogging boss, Dark Souls III is probably the best Souls series you can play at the moment.
Dark Souls III may indeed look to have a high degree of difficulty, but I do not think you need to be too scared because this game is not an impossible game to complete.

You will never achieve a true success unless you love what you do.
