The world as you roam and take missions from people. Dark Souls 3 offers better bosses with very uniqueĬombat styles while Witcher 3 offers better enemies that you will find out in When it comes to the enemies you will face This also comes down to preference since different people prefer different things and some may want a more hardcore combat style and some may want a combat style that offers more variety.Īs for the weapons you have available, the clear winner here is Dark Souls 3 since it has an abundance of weapons for you to choose while in Witcher 3 you only use swords and periodically a crossbow. Now that is not necessarily a bad thing because having fewer options means that you have to find a way to utilize what you have available in the best way possible and it also makes combat harder and more hardcore. Witcher 3 offers more variety in combat in my opinion. I am saying that once you decide a build and abilities, your options in combat with that build are very limited. I don’t say that Dark Souls 3 doesn’t offer you a lot of freedom on what builds you use and what abilities you use. Dark Souls combat feels more laconic giving you fewer options than Witcher 3 combat.ĭon’t get me wrong. Which one is better is up to you to decide since it comes down to personal preference.ĭark Souls 3 and Witcher 3 have different mechanics when it comes to gameplay. The main difference is that Witcher 3 is an open-world game while Dark Souls 3 offers a more linear experience meaning one area leads to another.

I want the game to tell you the story through dialog and cinematics and Dark Souls 3 has very little of that. I prefer the Witcher 3 storytelling because I don’t find it fun to read item descriptions to understand a portion of what’s going on and possibly search for things on the internet to understand the rest.

So this comes down to preference and what way of storytelling you like. What’s going on the other half is just guessing. Things in the environment and talk to different NPCs to understand half of You have to read item descriptions watch some To know to understand what’s going on is explained to you through dialog.ĭark Souls 3 tells the story of the game inĪ less straightforward way. Straightforward approach to storytelling meaning that everything that you need They tell these stories in a different way.
