Dark Souls 3 is the worthy conclusion to an amazing franchise that entertained and challenged gamers for a very long time.
The series offered players a unique immersive world that they could explore for as long as they liked and while it wasn’t a story-driven game, it offered a lot of in-depth lore for every single monster that you come across.
It’s a very satisfying video game and has dozens of hours’ worth of gameplay as it allows the player a lot of customization and choice regarding how they wish to approach the game’s challenges and exploration.
But sooner or later, you’ve tried everything and have gone through every challenge possible – which leaves you with nothing more to do and you have no choice but to put the game down.
Fortunately for PC gamers – the Cinders Mod for Dark Souls 3 exists.
