I have been a fan of thefranchise since my first foray into Lordran on the Xbox 360In writing it sounds so obtuse, but for my moneyis the closest we are going to get to a ‘Greatest Hits’ of past From Software titles. In incorporates so many elements in both the gameplay and the narrative that are nods toand pastgames, and at times even felt like a deconstruction of the telltale elements of the series.has such an extreme dower tone and atmosphere, even when compared to other games in the same series, and I just cannot get enough of it. The series handles the idea of mystery better than many others, and I had an unshakeable feeling like something was amiss during my entire time with the game. There is more going on than you are lead to believe, and the way you interact with NPCs paints a very different world as you progress through the game seeking your destiny as the ashen one. There really isn't a lot more I can say, most of the nuance of what made the game great to me would be lost on people unfamiliar with the series, but the continued quality of life changes made to each iteration have made the games more approachable. There has never been a better time to play agame, and while this entry may be the third in the series, maybe take a look into this one if you are a souls noob with piqued curiosity.
