Just an incredible experience in almost every way. Out of all the Souls games I've played, 3 is the one I struggled with the most. It’s more accessible than the previous two in a lot of ways, but is balanced out by some incredibly brutal levels and enemies. This is also the Souls game with my favorite lineup of bosses. There's a few that I disliked, but the rest ranged from good to some of my favorite bosses in video games (The Nameless King easily being my favorite). The storytelling although abstract I found incredibly moving due to the existential ideas it touches upon. I was also a big fan of the callbacks in this game, the complaints I've seen about these callbacks always felt a bit surface level to me when they almost always add something to the themes and narrative beyond just being fanservice. My only real complaint for the game is the areas. Despite looking really good at times, the game’s color palette made for a handful that weren't visually interesting. But besides that the areas themselves have too many enemies and generally lack the creative level design found in Dark Souls 1. These issues didn't ruin my experience at all, but because of them I would rate 3 a bit lower than 1. Still an incredible game that I can easily call one of my new favorites.
