False

Good game design

Which is a lot and allows you to actually travel through several areas at any time through several points of the gane, which you can choose depending on actual goals and builds. You also forgot the DLC. The circlejerk of nonlinearity is schizophrenic and fueled by poseurs that don't understand the actual meaning behind it. Dark Souls 3 adds a lot of incentives to actually choosing some areas over the others. For example reaching the altar of Sunlight early changes completely your run as Faith character because Dark Souls 3 actually focuses on carefully spreading content in such way.
