Game Review Dark Souls III – Unforgiving Challenge

Dark Souls III Review – Game lovers in recent years have complained a bit because the gameplay of some games is getting easier. Some developers think that with low difficulty the more players will play their games. But not with Dark Souls III, this game is very challenging with various battles that are not balanced and have difficulties that have no limits. But that is the hallmark of Dark Souls. In fact, FromSoftware has a rabid following who loves Dark Souls and has had a huge impact on the gaming industry.

Without further ado, here’s a review of Dark Souls III

Dark Souls III is an Action RPG game developed by FromSoftware and published by Bandai Namco. Dark Souls III is playable on platforms Windows, Xbox One and PlayStation 4. Dark Souls III was released in Japan in March 2021 and then worldwide in April 2021.

Dark Souls III takes a third-person perspective, just like the previous games in the Dark Souls series. According to the creator Hideteka Miyazaki, Dark Souls III has a design that follows its predecessor Dark Souls II. Players can use various weapons including various kinds of swords, arrows, explosives and also players can use two swords at once. Players also pay attention to defense with shields and counter attack movements. Each attack has an attack that is stronger than ordinary attacks that can be charge, similar to other games from FromSoftware namely Bloodborne. Attacks from enemies can also be avoided by running or with a rolling motion.

Various Magic can also be used with a magic system similar to Demon’s Souls with Focus Points. Each player uses magic, the focus points will decrease. There are two kinds Estus Flask in Dark Souls III. The first is to restore HP and the new one is to restore focus points. Players can save their progress at bonfires located in various parts of the world from Dark Souls III. In addition to save, bonfire also functions as a teleport point so that players can move places easily.

Throughout the game, players will fight with various kinds of enemies with various behaviors. Even some enemies can change their attack style mid-fight. As a new feature in Dark Souls III, various weapons and shields have special abilities that can be used in battle using focus points. Dark Souls III this time focuses on Role-Playing. Player character creation also has wider features and weapons that can provide different tactics during battle. Dark Souls III has a world that has less territory than Dark Souls II, but with a larger area and more detail than its predecessors. Dark Souls III did not forget its multiplayer features.

The graphics of Dark Souls III also have very high detail and can make us sigh. Especially if we play with a PC that has qualified specs. Fortunately for those who do not have high specifications can still play smoothly. Pemmzchannel does a review with a variety of PCs, one of which is Core i5 3330S and GTX 660 Ti, this fairly old specification still gets average 40fps with High preset. Meanwhile on the laptop Aorus X5S with GTX 980M which you can read the review here, you can get 60fps with Ultra presets.

The atmosphere of Dark Souls III is very good with some dark areas of the map with scary sounds able to make players immersed in the atmosphere. Especially with several enemies ready to attack from all directions. The music from Dark Souls III is also very suitable for the atmosphere of the game. The fight with a giant boss is also supported by an atmosphere and music that makes us even more excited.

The difficulty of the Dark Souls series is legendary, and Dark Souls III is no exception. Players will be forced to dodge and fend off various attacks, then strike back with various tactics that must be carefully thought out. The battle with the boss is no less exciting, with more challenging difficulties ensuring an exciting battle. Players inexperienced with Dark Souls will be surprised and will lose time and time again. But all of that will pay off with our own satisfaction when we are able to defeat the boss. As an illustration of how challenging Dark Souls III is, at the beginning of the game we will be introduced to the mechanics of the game. But in less than 10 minutes the player will be faced with a boss that has 2 forms with deadly attacks.

That’s the Dark Souls III Review, I hope that pemmzchannel friends can enjoy Dark Souls III, and have fun playing!
