PC Gamer: 77 / 100 by James Davenport
Gorgeous but empty, challenging but not always fair, The Ringed City is a weak reflection of the series' best traits.
Game Revolution: 4.5 / 5 by James Kozanitis
While Ashes of Ariandel created skepticism where there otherwise wouldn't have been, rest assured that The Ringed City is the genuine article and gives Dark Souls III the send-off it deserves.
Destructoid: 8.5 / 10 by Chris Carter
If The Ringed City really is the end of Souls, it manages to hang its head high with the rest of the series. From Demon's to Dark III we have more than enough macabre settings to pore over in the years to come. They aren't all created equal, and some of them aren't even created by Hidetaka Miyazaki, but I'll remember each and every one of them for as long as I live. It's been a wild ride.
