Hello! Souls Week continues today with a look back at Dark Souls 3 – a neglected classic? Inevitably, this piece contains spoilers.
Everybody loves the original Dark souls. It’s the game that, after the low-key phenomenon of Demon’s Souls, really put From Software on the map; a masterclass in world building and interconnected level design, with enough words written about it that I probably don’t need to go on. Then there’s Dark Souls 2, the black sheep of the family, with more than its fair share of detractors (all of these people are wrong). And Dark Souls 3? As excellent as it might be, and as much acclaim as was heaped upon it at launch, it’s just not a game that appears to elicit much strong emotion either way – no love nor scorn, just a shrug of respectful indifference.
