Quietly sitting at an 87 average. The algorithm never did this one any favors. A proper RPG: big systems, bigger choices, and fantasy all the way down. A full single-player game with a multiplayer side that refuses to die.

About this game

Dark Souls III: The Ringed City is the second DLC expansion for Dark Souls III, released in March 2017. It introduces the Ringed City, a new area at the world's edge where the Age of Fire is ending. The expansion includes new environments, enemies, bosses, and items like weapons, armour, and spells. The content further explores the game's lore, focusing on the themes of decay and the cyclical nature of the world.

As the world draws toward its final days, the undead warrior known as the Ashen One journeys to the Dreg Heap, a vast and collapsing landscape where the ruins of once-great kingdoms from countless different eras have crumbled together at the very end of time. Amid this decaying convergence, the Ashen One follows the trail of a mysterious figure named Gael, whose path leads ever deeper toward a fabled destination. That destination is the Ringed City, an ancient and long-hidden place bound up with the legend of the Pygmies, the shadowy ancestors of humanity itself. Descending through the wreckage of fallen ages toward this forgotten city at the world's end, the Ashen One presses on in search of answers, braving the horrors that dwell within the twilight of a dying world.
