Dark souls 3 is frustratingly amazing, but in its current state I do not recommend the purchase of this title.
Dark souls pc servers have been offline for two months as of the time of this review, due to an rce exploit. This exploit would have definitely made its way into Fromsofts recent title Elden Ring, if it hadn't been made readily apparent by the community anti-cheat developers ahead of time. With the most recent title exceeding 500,000 players at any given time I wouldn't be surprised if the Servers never come back as they're most likely being used. I can't imagine they would release Elden Ring without patching this issue, or maybe they just slapped easy-anti-garbage onto it as a band-aid fix and this could possibly explain why from has been on hiatus in regards to any announcements outside of the obligatory post on feb9/10.

currently 4 out of 5 souls games are not playable online, so no ghosts, messages, bloodstains, co-op/multiplayer/pvp. all online aspects for the pc dark-souls series are currently inoperative, if you play exclusively for these reasons i would recommend to play on console.


edit: officially offline for three months.
