Different Gameplay Mechanic, fast-paced combat bloodborne like, challenging bosses, very atmospheric and mostly is more fun to play. I highly recommend this game for those who new about Souls series.
Comparison:

Dark Souls 3 with the last series
-Some bosses have different pattern of attack and move
- Now to cast spell, use mana
- Estus flask is highly important than before
- Fast paced combat and move
- Fewer maps, but have more to explore and hidden within
- More cool weapon, armor, and item
- No more hollowing (there is hollowing, but it's not affected to your HP, more like a choice to go hollowing)
- Boss weapon is the best thing in the game, cause the special attack is really cool
- The graphic is outstanding
- Really challenging PvP

Overall, This Game deserve the best RPG 2016 and GOTY, Well done Dark Souls 3!!!
