You may want to make some extra room on your harddrive as you'll want to snap more than a few screenshots.Ĭompared to Dark Souls II there are perhaps, a little surprisingly, fewer areas to explore here, but that is not something that should be taken as a negative as the areas are instead much larger and more complex than we've ever encountered in the series. We actually died several times as a result of looking out at the views from towers, when an enemy snuck up from behind.

The game is also surprisingly colourful at times, and there's no doubting the theme - flames, ember and ashes - something that comes across in the yellow and orange tones. The textures are sharp, the frame-rate feels much more stable on PS4 than what we experienced with Bloodborne, and it is obvious that a lot of work has gone into evolving the engine in order to make use of the power afforded by current-gen consoles. From a purely visual perspective Dark Souls III is the most gorgeous game in the series, and that includes last year's Bloodborne.
