The end to the age of fire known as the Dark Souls Series is upon us. Just to show my affiliation, I have played through all 3 Souls games multiple times (Other than DS2; beat it once and moved on to DS3) and I have watched many Vaatividya videos (hehe). Going into this DLC, I may have been hyped, but I was also scared it would fail, and not be as big as "Big Hunters" for Bloodborne or "Artorias of the Abyss" for DS1. However, I was wrong, and Ringed City may be the best and biggest expansion to a Souls game yet. Sadly; this is the FINAL expansion and adventure in the Dark Souls series, so FROM had to leave a lasting impression... ... and they did. The beginning area is basically an assortment of highlighted areas of various Souls games. In fact, where you fight the first boss in the DLC, is in a very familiar arena from DS1. In fact, EVERY single arena for boss fights in this game (Other than 1) amazed me, and the final boss fight has the biggest and most amazing room in the entire game, basically allowing you to move freely with no care (It's bigger than the Gaping Dragon, Four Kings, and Soul of Cinder's room combined. In fact, all bosses were really well made, and it honestly shocked me. Without getting into too many spoilers. The first boss was a 2 on 1 fight that pitted you against two very similar creatures that like to rotate roles; basically what the Twin Dragonriders wanted to be. The second boss was very similar to the Demon Souls boss that spawned an enemy for the boss, in fact, it's basically a "You are the boss" simulator, and I loved fighting the PvP boss and then becoming the PvP boss. The optional boss is on tier with Nameless King and Sister Friede, except you will have to "swat the fly" in order to access the boss fight. Lastly, the grand finale pits you against a familiar foe that becomes so consumed by the Dark Soul that he is no longer who you remember him as (Also his cutscene pulls a nod to Artorias as he throws a body at you). Lastly, the NPCs and Puzzles and Enemies were all plentiful, notably Lapp (Who has a big twist) and the Pilgrim Angels, which will force you into a stealth approach. Overall, the DLC was a brilliant send off to the series that we all love; the only bad thing is that we didn't get to fight the person many were probably hoping to fight, and I don't know much of the connecting lore until Vaati lets us all know. I will give Ringed City a... 9/10 A It was a brilliant send off to my favorite franchise, brilliant nod to other games, and beautiful sceneries left me saying "This is my new favorite area/this is my new favorite boss" every time!
