Your heart will race, your hands will shake, and the exultancy that fills you upon finally clinching victory by the skin of your teeth-I won with zero estus flasks and a sliver of life remaining-is the stuff of which these games are made. Meanwhile, the final boss holds a place of honor among the pantheon of "SoulsBorne" brouhahas. One is optional and puts up a good fight, although it's a copy-and-paste version of two regular enemies. There are several new areas to explore, and while the whole of Ariandel is ultimately linear, like Dark Souls 3's main world, individual zones are spacious enough to slake your thirst for exploration for between three to five hours. Frozen fields do a nice job breaking up Dark Souls 3's abundance of murky caves and dungeons, and are broken up by familiar touchstones like dilapidated towns that do not overstay their welcome. Riffing on previous settings such as Dark Souls' Painted World of Ariamis and Dark Souls 2's Eleum Loyce, Ashes of Ariandel takes you through stinging snow and crumbling fortresses. Although it's the shortest of any expansion in the series thus far, it offers a satisfying blend of lore, boss fights, and exploration that fans love, but fails to shake some of Dark Souls 3's problems.
Dark Souls 2's Lost Crowns add-ons presented sprawling, interconnected worlds sorely lacking from its base game.Īshes of Ariandel is the first of two planned DLC packages for Dark Souls 3. Dark Souls' Artorias of the Abyss revealed an ancient city polluted with corrosive darkness and introduced players to one of the franchise's most tragic characters.
Expansions for FromSoftware's Dark Souls trilogy are regarded as some of the best content in the series.
