Dark Souls Trilogy (PS4)

I am obsessed with the Soulsborne + Soulslike genre and had to re-purchase my collection... I was genuinely shocked at how much of a bargain it really is to purchase this cheap Dark Souls Trilogy - it literally has ALL of the DLC's for each of the 3 games already on the discs!.. It is incredibly CHEAPER compared to purchasing each of the games separately AND buying the DLC content (regardless of whether you buy the GOTY Editions with DLC included OR download each DLC from the PS Store!). It really is an insane money-saver to purchase this trilogy!!! [Dark Souls I Remastered]. Not my favourite of the Dark Souls games; especially as the remaster is somewhat poorly done in comparison to the Demon's Souls Remaster (which is absolutely AMAZING!!! with completely new, updated textures and other fine details!) - to be honest, it is the first instalment of the ever-popular and revolutionary Dark Souls Trilogy, so I am not really complaining. (I just wish that I played this one first so I did not compare it to the others...). By what I can tell... it is extremely 'bright', which goes against what Souls games are about (aesthetically), so there is a divided opinion from the community about the intentions of this remake; although SOME of the textures are kind of 'better', it just loses a lot of credibility as 'remake' when it retains nearly all of the original, outdated, primal look & feel to it which remasters are generally perceived to enhance and bring the game into future gen consoles and reach a new audience... can't really say much more - it is a good game though. 4/10. [Dark Souls II]. One of my all-time favourites! It is the first Souls game that I played and instantly became hooked, nay, ADDICTED, to the whole hardcore, RPG, Soulsborne (then years later, Soulslike) genre/s... It is an exceptionally GOOD game, with an ever-increasing depth of mechanics and secrets to master and unveil... you can spend MANY hours, fully appreciating the beauty of this game and it's awe-inspiring environments - not to mention the unrelenting difficulty of each area which will ultimately lead you to research many elements and consort an online guide to understand what to do as there are no maps or any clear path in which you should take to progress this cryptic puzzle of an extreme, hardcore adventure! I absolutely adore this game! It has so much to do and will keep you occupied for months at a time with it's many features like NG+, PvP & Invasions/Being summoned for support during invasions of other members of certain Covenants that you can locate + join at will and/or boss fights. There is a wealth of exploration and different enemies + bosses to fight, with such a huge variation of differences between them, will keep you eagerly entertained and grant you heaps of satisfaction when finally, after many deaths and run-backs, you defeat an insanely challenging boss and a lot of the highly dangerous areas crawling with unique enemies + NPC questlines... The combat is PRECISE and keeps you on your toes - NO button-mashing, only calculated, well-timed inputs will suffice as you are locked by stamina and the need for expert skills in logical decisions... I can not stress how much you have to be precise with your inputs and timing + the exact part of each weapon's area of contact and exact time of impact during the input directly affects how much damage + [poise] stance-breaking is dealt (and registered). There is a plethora of weapon types and weapons, including magic, miracles + pyromancy, with a myriad of different attunable spells, miracles, pyros, etc.. that you can obtain and master, alongside different weapon attributes and upgrading - armour has different stats, some have special enhancements and 'weight' is a BIG aspect of each item as every weapon, shield, catalyst, staff, every helmet, torso, pants & wrist item you equip will influence how fast/slow your stamina regenerates and how fast/slow you can move and whether or not you can fast/fat (slow) roll (dodge), so you need to be mindful of each choice you make, usually sacrificing heavy, protective armour for lighter, more manageable armour to wield better weapons or move/dodge faster/farther... everything counts! (you can only equip max. 4 weapons/shields/staffs/catalysts...) The 2 DLC add-ons are REALLY good, fantastic gameplay, with added content, new areas, challenging foes + hard bosses, a must-play experience that you will not forget! Such an exceptional game! I HIGHLY recommend this!!! I could talk forever about how good this game is and it's many deep mechanics/elements, but that it all the fun of discovering them for yourself - it is an extremely unique game, like no other and should be experienced by everyone whom is a gamer! 10/10. [Dark Souls III]. Initially, I did not really like how different the combat (specifically) is in this game... it feels much 'faster' and hits 'differently' than Dark Souls II (it reminds me of how fast Bloodborne combat is compared to Dark Souls II as well - Bloodborne + Dark Souls III are very similar!) - but nevertheless, it grew on me and became 'the norm' after quite some playthrough time. That being said, the combat is still governed by perfectly-timed executions, just not as 'slow' and methodical as Dark Souls II (but still highly methodical if you know what I mean...). The lore and graphics are still VERY beautiful and immersive - well-executed and perfectly aligned with the atmosphere of the gamescape. You will miss a lot of secrets/items/elements without a guide (although there are plenty of messages, that provide invaluable hints, on the floor from other people when playing online) - the game features a lot of deep questlines that need to be completed in specific orders to unlock certain storylines and items. The DLC is far superior in terms of new areas, enemies, difficulty and lore! There are some incredible new weapons + armour sets and even new spells and miracles, etc... very, very good - a definite must-have when playing this game! The new areas are absolutely insane & beautiful! So artistic and well-designed. The DLC is an integral part of the main storyline and properly rounds-off the final endgame + nicely introduces you to the New Game+ mechanics. Without going into detail and spoiling the games, I highly recommend purchasing to experience them for yourself - honestly, DSII + DSIII are among my all-time FAVOURITE games, up there with Elden Ring + Elden Ring Nightreign... I encourage you to at least try them, they are so unique and different to most of the bs silly games out there - this introduces a whole new genre/gamestyle that keeps you coming back for more. An actual challenge, serious gameplay and deep mechanics & features that will entertain you and punish you unless you get good!

So far, I only completed the first game, and I have to say it's been a blast. At first, you might be frustrated with it, but as you understand the game more, you start to enjoy how it's designed and how it plays. Each game in the trilogy comes with its own disc case, and those cases are conveniently packed inside a cardboard sleeve, which makes it easy to keep the games together and set them up for display, for example. Also, you can play those games on PS5, as well as on PS4, of course.

Amazing! Played Demons Souls, Dark Souls 1 and 2 back in the day on PS3, but improvements all round on PS4. Also Dark Souls 3 is incredible too. Excellent trilogy of games.

Brand new, collectors item. Very nice.

An excellent game to play free games for such a good price well worth buying

I'm a big fan of the original dark souls. It used to scare me and I didn't want to play it. When it was voted ultimate game of all time I dedicated myself to beating it, here we are a few months on and I've finished the original and remaster 3 times to 100% completion, dark souls 2 I have also completed, which is great in its own right, however different. Sometimes the best things come in threes and I do believe this trilogy is one of those things, dark souls 3 is difficult for me to adapt to, however The console versions of the games have multiplayer connectivity right now where the PC servers do not due to the exploit that was discovered, hopefully that will be fixed soon. There is so much to dark souls, it does not hold your hand, it does not explain every story beat with cutscenes and narration, it's a nuanced and subtle world hidden behind the notorious learning curve that has players branding it too difficult. The games are a masterpiece and every player connects with them in a different way. For me the failures I felt just reinforced my resolve, I wanted to push onward and find out what was behind the next pathway that was obscures by the boss I was stuck on. I hope that when you play, you will find something special in how the game speaks to you.

Amazing set of games for a really good price. Before buying the product the website stated it was out of stock and was taking orders for the next batch. I was told I would be waiting around 5 weeks for the game, however approximately 3 days after buying it I was told it had been dispatched which was a good surprise. In terms of the actual quality of the games, all three games are extremely challenging and rewarding for any gamer interested in role-playing games, or would like to be tested. Each individual game is packed with content, I myself am about 1/3 through the second game and have already sunk at least 200 hours into it. One negative I will mention is that the games are imports and have quite significant logos on the front (age ratings) which make me doubt whether you can sell them to the likes of Game or CEX after playing, but even if you can’t, it’s a bargain for the amount of time you get out of playing these games.

Great games , dark souls 1 looks really good and all dlc for all the games are included and the sound tracks are digital only you have a code to redeem. My only problem is I kinda feel that the trilogy should earnt a cool cardboard fold out maybe in the shape of a cross or like a book just something instead of 3 plastic cases in a cardboard sleeve not really a wow factor tbh

Perfect condition. Fantastic series also a good deal for a trilogy

Great game collection. Great price.

Arrivato il giorno dopo l’ordine con Prime, la trilogia è arrivata il ottime condizioni. Come dicono altre recensioni le scritte sul cartonato e sulle custodie singole sono in inglese ma una volta messo il disco e scaricato il gioco le scritte del gioco e i sottotitoli dei dialoghi sono automaticamente in italiano!! Per quanto riguarda il gioco in se, ho rischiato parecchio perché non ci avevo mai giocato ma ne avevo solo parecchio sentito parlare quindi mi sono buttato e sono felice su averlo fatto. Avviso a tutti i giocatori di giochi fantasy da D&D a talisman, COMPRATELO!! Ha quei dettagli e quei nomi di oggetti che all’inizio ti stufa ricordare ma nel giro di un’oretta lo amerete nella sua trama, nelle sue caratteristiche e nella sua difficoltà soprattutto (difficoltà non selezionabili, tosto tosto ahaha) Consiglio di comprarlo principalmente a chi possiede una PS4 Pro in quanto come scritto su confezione e descrizione del prodotto i giochi sono stati migliorati per la suddetta PS4 Pro. Molte recensioni hanno recensito male perché non hanno letto con attenzione, spero che leggerete questa recensione e che vi aiuti. 5 stelle meritate

Great trilogy and you get it cheaper than the digital releases

Het is gewoon een sleeve met de drie games. DUS NIET de steelbooks. Overigens zit er GEEN DLC bij, dus de beschrijving klopt voor geen meter. De code die je krijgt voor wat extra Souls werkt ook gewoon NIET.
