Dark Souls III is a game that I've tried to beat multiple times, once around release in 2016, once in 2017, and now in 2021. I picked up the game on a whim because I had heard good things about the Souls series, but after my first attempt at playing the game I felt like I just couldn't beat the game. I enjoyed the weighty combat but I didn't enjoy dying so often to so many regular enemies. In general, I just think the game didn't fully click with me then. The second time I tried it I got much further, but I still died a lot to regular enemies and had a lot of trouble with bosses like the Crystal Sage and the Abyss Watchers. The game made more sense to me but I still didn't really fully understand it and I didn't really understand why the series had such widespread acclaim. That is until my third attempt at beating the game.
About a week ago, I was looking through some games in my Steam Library and stumbled across Dark Souls III and remembered how satisfying the combat was even though I never really was good at it. I decided to give it another shot and I don't know what changed but everything just made sense. I got a lot better at knowing when to attack and when to dodge and even got decent at parrying certain enemies. I started learning enemy movesets and seeing patterns in how they attack and how you can find openings to strike them. I was able to beat some bosses on my first try and ended up getting so hooked to the game I sunk 35 hours into it over the course of a week. It's been a long time since I've played a game that I can't stop thinking about when I'm not playing it but Dark Souls III has been one of those rare games for me.
If you're looking for a game that will challenge you and push you to your limits, this is absolutely the game to play. Anyone who enjoys challenging action games should play this game. It's incredibly frustrating at first but the combat feels so good once it finally clicks and it has genuinely been one of the best gaming experiences I've had in the past few years. Stick with it, watch some videos on YouTube, and don't give up. I promise you won't regret it
