I'm thinking about buying dark souls 3 for pc. I've wanted to play for a long time and now I'm thinking if it's worth buying. Tell me, is the game worth the money spent? 60 dollars for me, although not a big amount, but it's still a game... Help with advice please

Dark Souls 3. Worth buying?
I would say yes. It's probably the best playing of the Dark Souls games and the DLC does a nice job of being a "greatest hits" of the series and tying things up nicely (or at least, as neatly as anything ever gets tied up in Souls).
Having said that, if you've played Elden Ring, Dark Souls 3 might be sort of hard to go back to.
Dark Souls 3 is my favorite of the series, and I’d happily recommend it. But definitely wait for a sale, where you can grab the version with the two DLCs (both of which I loved) for much cheaper than $60+. I think Steam has sold that package for $20 in the recent past. If the wait becomes intolerable, you’ll still get your money’s worth at full price.
The servers are still down for all 3 of the souls games on PC. You should wait for a sale, and hopefully by then the servers will be back up. I only want servers for the messages, I don't do PvP.
I don't know how often the cycle for this game being on sale is on Steam/PC generally, but it was just on sale with all of the DLC included for $20 on PSN in their summer sale and I imagine the PC gets at least similarly thorough discounts several times a year. I don't have any opinion on the game myself (and held off buying it in that sale because I still have Demon's Souls to get back to if I'm looking to scratch that itch in a non-Elden Ring way) but if you're at all hesitant I'd strongly suggest just keeping an eye on it as that wasn't the first time I saw it so comprehensively discounted on the PS4/PS5.
Short answer: Yes. Keep eyes on Humble Bundle, Green Man Gaming, Gamesplanet and CD Keys for not having to pay $60 - $85 for the game and DLC. I got everything for $35 back in 2017, but between five storefronts, you're bound to run into a Bandi-Namco sale sooner rather than later.
It is my absolute least favourite of all the games. A real self-indulgent victory lap of a game that holds nothing but contempt for the interesting choices the game before it made. However it is the most "approachable" souls game if you're looking for a jumping on point.

Absolutely this. It's the least interesting of any of the Soulsborne games, however in terms of how modern it is/approachable, it's a good place to start. $60 seems like a lot for a game this old, and one that likely regularly goes on sale, though I suppose it's fairly sizeable so you'd get your money's worth even at full price.
FYI looks like the Steam version reactivated online features today. However, the game is not currently on sale. But when it does go on sale, you should be good to go for pvp and co-op.
