Dark Souls III 2016

Is it still worth playing?

FromSoftware's 2016 action role playing game, the third and final entry in the Dark Souls trilogy, for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Windows. The Ashen One, an unkindled warrior, sets out on a quest tied to the Lords of Cinder and the fading First Flame. The areas are large, many with shortcuts back to bonfires, which act as checkpoints, and souls are both currency and experience. Combat balances three resources: health, stamina and focus points, which pay for weapon and shield Skills and for spells. You decide the split yourself, choosing how many Estus Flasks restore health and how many Ashen ones restore focus. Builds come from the same freedom, with one item in each hand in many combinations and a point added to a stat at each level up. Weapons, stats and spells that combine into many ways to fight still give it a lot to try today.
