What Should I Play Now?

DARK SOULS™ III

Image: Steam / its publisher

  • Soulslike
  • Action
  • Dark fantasy

You make your way through the ruined kingdom of Lothric with combat a touch faster than in earlier Souls games. Bonfires are your checkpoints, and when you die you drop your souls where you fell: die again before picking them up and they're gone.

Why play it now

When you have energy and an afternoon ahead to learn a boss attempt by attempt until you finally bring it down.

Who it's for

For players who enjoy a demanding challenge and piecing the story together from places and items.

When not to pick it

If you want an open world: it's more linear and several of its areas look alike.

What it offers

  • Combat / action: 95 out of 100
  • Exploring: 60 out of 100
  • Story: 50 out of 100
  • Thinking: 40 out of 100
  • Creating: 30 out of 100
