They made me type a review soo here we are...

Before playing this game I had no girlfriend, had a small pp, and had anxiety issues.
Ever since I got this game, not much has changed other than the fact that now I'm addicted to auctions.

10/10 would love to miss checkpoints and lose auctioning battle again.

Dark Souls 3 is technically my first ever experience with a souls like game and after completing the main campaign and defeating all the boss in the base game, boy do I have things to say about this game.

This is one of the best aspects about this game, I've always loved games with methodical combat, games that give you a sense of weight in each attack and who make you think twice about outcomes of every single press of a button. I was introduced to my passion for these kind of games with Monster Hunter: World (PS: I know these 2 games have a lot of differences but I'm not trying to compare them, I'm just stating an example of type of combat I like in games.)

There is a vast variety of weapons to choose from... From small and fast attacking Daggers to big and heavy hitting Hammers, from magical Staffs to magic emitting Swords and thunder summoning Spears, its present, and if you're feeling particularly daring u can even go unga-bunga with bare fists or different kind of glove like weapons.
You also have an option to infuse weapons with different types of elements and debufs like fire, frost, dark, lightning etc.
In terms of variety of weapons this game doesn't fail.

The story can be pretty straight forward or pretty deep depending on the players I think... The main campaign and cutscenes and dialogues do a pretty good job at explaining the story well but if u want to take it a step further u can dig deep and find how deep the story actually is and if u feel like u can also read lore ad stuff if u will to do soo, I've read some lore and to be honest it pretty darn good if u are into magical, mysterios stuff.

Aah the gameplay, here comes the fun part. Lemme state the obvious here first this game is hard, like REAL HAARRDD, but if u play it co-op it gets kinda manageable.
The gameplay is super fun if you're into this kinda combat, It took me a little bit of tweaking the keybinds to get comfortable with the controls. The game posses a pretty good challenge but the real challenge begins when u fight "The Abyss Watchers" the difficulty level go from "Hard" to "Damn this ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ game" real quick. But it makes the reward and the sense of winning even more satisfying IMO. As the game progresses u travel through a variety of environments and cities. And man is this game beautiful when it tries to be. The sheer beauty in the environment and the creativity gone into the types and aesthetic of the game is faccinating.

As much as I like this game it has some issues that bothered me.
The most annoying issue is the camera, sometimes while fighting your enemies you have to fight the camera but emphasis on sometimes.

Some people might not agree with me on this one but Invaders were and still are a really annoying thing to deal with, like sometimes I just want to play with my friend, enjoy and play the campaign but then suddenly this Invader with lord knows how many Estus Flask and level decides to drop and kill both of us in like a heartbeat and it can be real annoying (PS: Invasions only happen if you are embered or the person you are playing is embered which is most likely cause the host is required to be embered to invite other players) and done off the most important things to remember it DOES NOT have autosave, I lost my complete agme save file because I didnt knew it.

Overall I'd say that no fear comes close to fighting a giant baby with a hand for his head with over 60k souls on you.
10/10
Would love to give myself a close heartattack experience again.

Was all fun and games until my Mom saw me playing this and now I'm barely able to play this game without my mom forcing me to get off so she could play. I have 2.1 hr at the time I'm reviewing it and I was only able to play like 30 mins rest is my moms time.

10/10 Love to see my mom struggle while learning video games. XD

There no real endgame content as for now. I mean I have completed the story campaign (which was pretty good), and have 3 of my heroes at max level, but after that I have no motivation to get back into the game as for now.

For anyone saying it has no depth, I personally don't think they've explored it.
Each character plays different that each other. Yes they have same mechanics like Light Attack, Heavy Attack and Ranged attack, but that's where the similarity stops. Every hero forces you to adapt a different fighting style which is not at all a bad thing, for the most part it comes naturally. And the skill tree makes the combat even more fun when you unlock more moves, abilities and combos... It goes deep.

The campaign story is one of the most positives aspects of this game if not the most positive.
It mainly revolves around how Kamla Khan's life changes after the events of A-Day, and how she is hellbent on trying to bring Avengers back. There are some moments that really dwell me into the characters, even tho I am already a big fan of these characters before the game. And it has some character focused moments and interactions that for the most part are good but sometimes are a bit Corny and Cringe (like the part where Kamla guesses that tony's password is "I am Ironman"). But over all its a pretty neat story.

The gameplay at first might seem a bit dull which is understandable, but when you start upgrading ur characters skill tree it gets fun. There are 3 skill pages and 4 Category on each. So its pretty deep, it allows you to unlock combos with special effect on enemies and for playstyle it allows one to solely focus on making their hero most damage or they can focus on making them as a support, the skills for your suited play style should be there.
The gear system is kinda meh, it can get overwhelming and underwhelming at the same time. You have some elemental perks u can obtain through your gear like Pym Particle which is the most fun for me,it shrinks enemy when they reach a certain elemental damage, you have Cyro that freeze enemies, you have Gamma that is basically works as poison and a couple more. It can be good thats all I can say.

Oh boy does this game have issues!
From game crashing to progress not saving.
From enemies getting stuck in wall to players stuck in animation.
You name it this game has it all.
But to be fair, the devs are working continuously, they are releasing updates and patches on a pretty good pace and are pretty open and active about everything.

SORRY FOR THE LONG REVIEW!!

Well Thanks to this game, I don't have a sister anymore -_-

Nice!
Now I can hug people without their consent, and wont get beaten to death :)

ARE U TIRED OF ALL THE SUPER SERIOUS GAMES WITH A BIG LEARNING CURVE OUT THERE?
DO U FEEL LIKE A NOOB, WHEN A PERSON WHO HAS BEEN PLAYING A GAME FOR LIKE 15000 YEARS, BEAT UR HOLY A55 UP?
DO U WANT EVER WONDER WHAT A HAPPY PLACE LOOKS LIKE?
If YES!? Then mate do I have a game recommendation for you!
This game works like therapy and is an experience that I didn't even knew I wanted, before I played it.
It is BEAUTIFUL AF, the music is pure eargasm, and the gameplay & the world is simple and sweet.

(PS: U better give this game a shot, or the spirits will do their best to make your day difficult!)

Why is this an expansion should've released this as a new game...
For the most part the whole expansion feels like a new game (which is a good thing here), but with the new expansion came the new issues and by those I mean before Iceborn update the game worked just fine for my system but since iceborn update a sh*t ton of players are facing massive performance issues including me, but don't worry about that as developers are listening to the community and fixing them asap so that's not that big of an issue. Now for the main review:

The gameplay is drastically improved/changed with the addition of the clutch claw and new moves for all weapons, and even new skills and the monster riding mechanics might not seem like much but its a good quality of life addition, overall a dope job. The devs are also adding fan favourite monsters to the game, that is a very good thing.

The only thing that I'm not sure about is the meta that game is heading towards, the last few monster that they've added are only damage & difficulty focused there were no mid tier dlc monsters, that you know are liked by fans and of a low difficulty that would be great :)

PS: ADD VALSTRAX OR DALMADUR FOR FK'S SAKE!!!!
