Dark Souls is a series that’s known to be hardcore and unforgiving. Its “prepare to die” marketing slogan aims for players who see completing tough games as a badge of honour. Many long-time fans like to say Dark Souls is difficult, but fair. In Dark Souls 3, I feel even the most militant series apologists will struggle to come up with excuses at times. Rather than increasing the difficulty by introducing interesting enemy types, Dark Souls 3 too often resorts to dirty tricks.
