For some reason, I enjoyed this game less on replay? But, I understood and appreciated the themes more. In other words, Dark Souls 3 to me is a game that is hard carried by its bosses, and the fact you've played or haven't played Dark Souls 1. Outside that, it just feels identity-less, which I think is the point. The world is tired of hanging on. Everything screams "We want to move on, and so should you" There is some beauty in that, especially as a send-off to the series. FromSoftware didn't want to make any more Dark Souls games, and I think this is the best way they could have shown us.
