"Dying simulators," as the games in the Dark Souls series are often referred to, are a fairly unique subgenre of RPGs in that almost nothing is handed to you on a platter. It's only up to us how much of this fascinating world we discover – if we manage to survive among the arch enemies and get anywhere, that is. Surprisingly, the exorbitant level of difficulty has always had its loyal followers, making 18×16 svgDark Souls III the fastest-selling game from publisher Bandai Namco, with 3 million copies reaching players in the first two months after release. This figure rises to 10 million by 2020.
Part three once again delighted everyone with its atmosphere and combat mechanics, being a worthy culmination of the series. Neither problems with framerate smoothness, nor the somewhat linear location designs got in the way. Even despite the lack of a certain freshness and element of surprise guaranteed by the first Souls installments , the third part is considered by many to be the pinnacle of the series. In part, this may be a result of the fact that combat, while still challenging, is a bit more approachable for newcomers looking to start their adventure in the grim and unforgiving world of Dark Souls.
