Dark Souls 3 is, without a doubt, the best game ever made. It's not for the faint of heart, but the sense of satisfaction you get from finally "Git Gud" is unbeatable. It requires a certain level of determination, perseverance, and maybe even a little bit of grit to truly enjoy. The technical quality of this game is top-notch, with tight hit boxes, precise i-frame timings, and a risk-reward system for parry and reposte that is perfectly balanced. It took me until the Nameless King boss (close to the end of the game) to fully understand the lock on mechanic, but once I got the hang of it, it was a game changer.

One of my personal favorite aspects of Dark Souls 3 was the abundance of unique and powerful weapons to choose from. The Dragonslayer Greataxe, in particular, was a joy to wield. It was a beast to swing, but oh so satisfying when I finally took down a tough enemy with it.

And let's not forget about those mimic chests. Talk about a cruel trick. Just when you think you've found a nice, safe bonfire to rest at, BAM, you're being attack by a chest with teeth. But the true shining stars of this game are the bonfires. Oh, the sweet, sweet relief of finally seeing a bonfire after a long and grueling battle. It's like a warm hug from your favorite, non-mimic chest.

As someone who was learning to use a controller for the first time while playing this game, I can attest to the fact that it was a challenge. But with a little bit of practice and a lot of determination, I was able to overcome it and truly enjoy all that Dark Souls 3 had to offer.

In conclusion, Dark Souls 3 is a difficult, but ultimately rewarding game that I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a challenge. It's worth every single death and I give it a solid 10/10, because let's be real, dying just wouldn't be as fun without it.
