III rather quickly, as the game can be played in virtually the same way. There are however, little tweaks in place that make Dark Souls 3 a little different. For one thing, spells no longer have a number of uses players have to keep an eye on. Instead, we have the FP system. FP is not only depleted when you use magic, but also when you use weapon abilities. Weapon abilities are also new to the Dark Souls experience, and can be used by players to decimate their enemies. While holding your weapon with two-hands, simply hold the left trigger to enter a special stance, from there, you press the right trigger to unleash an attack unique to that weapon type. Some weapons have swift forward lunges, others have spinning attacks that prove handy when surrounded, and others are useful in other ways. The combat also feels more balanced and fair, though don’t expect it to be a walk in the park, either. Dark Souls III still manages to put up plenty of a challenge. Before I go any further I’m going to be open and honest with you, dear readers: I did not enjoy my time with the original Souls games. I wanted to like them, but I found that overall, the experience was not for me. The difficulty, aloof story, camera system and odd bug deterred me from dedicating myself to previous Souls games, though all that has changed with Dark Souls III. I’m addicted to it, and couldn’t be enjoying my time with the game any more. Yes, it’s extremely difficult. Yes, the story could be more present and yes, everyone still mumbles weird absurdities when you yearn for a hint or an explanation of certain story element, but damn it all if Dark Souls III isn’t the most accessible Souls game yet. Dark Souls III also looks fantastic, both in terms of its art direction and its graphics. The environments and the monsters that dwell within them are intimidating, unique and complement each other quite well. I was also extremely impressed with the game’s lighting, which has seen more attention than in previous Souls games, and truly adds to the immersion of the game. Still, there are a few minor areas where the game could be improved. For one thing, the camera can be downright infuriating in small spaces. When you have no room to retreat, the camera can clip through you and your enemy, with the screen becoming a garbled mess of iron and steel. The game is already stressful enough without the camera deciding to lose its mind too. There are also little bugs that miff the player, such as corpses that don’t quite settle when they die, and convulse awkwardly. Dark Souls III will feel extremely familiar to fans of the series, though the skills learned from previous Souls games will serve them well. The game feels incredibly balanced and fluid compared to previous entries in the franchise, and it’s a well-polished and engaging experience overall. If the rumours are true, and this is the last Souls game, then it’s the perfect sendoff. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oX0cvtjKt9E CLICK HERE TO VIEW THE TRAILER!
