    If you want to visit Lordran and enjoy a straight-up bash-the-baddies quest, then you’ll find no better collection of bosses than this. If a new kind of adventure appeals, however, one in which quick fingers matter less than brains and human cunning, there’s still nothing like Dark Souls. After seven years its mystery has diminished, but it’s still among the best of the best.

    The masterpiece that made Hidetaka Miyazaki famous is back in a wonderfully remastered edition. As it, there is no change to the original structure, just a revamped lighting engine and a solid sixty fps through to whole game. The budget price is very good for the few who still never played this classic, and a good chance for the rest who loved it to play the definitive edition.

    It is nice to see that this extraordinary game has been modernized. In terms of visual detail it still is old-fashioned though, but it was and still is a beautifully crafted action roleplaying game that leaves its mark.

    This is certainly the best way to experience Dark Souls on console.

    To play this remastered edition of the game is to be reminded of how the original exerted an unmistakable influence on such contemporary video games as Nioh and The Surge.

    Just a polished version of an already great game, but for me, it was a bit more special. With the technical issues eliminated, Dark Souls can shine and is a much more satisfying experience.

    Rather than a remaster, it's a port. It will entertain mainly rock fans who want to have a complete collection on a new console or complete Souls novices. [Issue#287]

    Dark Souls is a game which takes the player and introduces him to a world with a depressing and bleak environment to live a great adventureDark Souls is a game which takes the player and introduces him to a world with a depressing and bleak environment to live a great adventure like the Lord of the Rings movie. This game perfectly characterizes the sensation of adventure and the discovery in which the admiration such as "wow" are all the time coming out of the mouth, due to the incredible world and its decoration, for its incredible soundtrack, which perfectly accompanies the environments both of the bosses and of certain areas of the game and that is another positive point, their bosses, creatures which manage to impact the visual and the genius of the combat, some of them with puzzle mechanics which make the combats much more varied . The difficulty, which is what makes these titles stand out the most, is actually not so unfair, but is very fair to the player, having powerful enemies in one area but weaker in the previous one. However, despite having all these positive points, it has some negative points such as recycling some bosses and respawning these as normal enemies, however this is not so bad since you can obtain the objects of those respective bosses. And the other negative aspect is the multiplayer, despite having a very healthy community that is totally willing to help the most novice players and have fun, it is the limited availability of being able to carry out invasions or even help someone due to the little activity taking away a point in favor. Likewise, if you are looking to live an adventure full of memorable fights and a splendid community, this is your game, but you have to be patient in the first levels because you can be somewhat weak, however as you progress you can help other players who be starting and teach them to be as strong as you.… Expand

While later entries refine the bosses and baseThe level design, atmosphere and sense of adventure solidify this game as an all time classic. While later entries refine the bosses and base combat system, the sense of adventure present in the open world structure of this game still hasn't been replicated properly. There's something about this game that makes it greater than the sum of its parts in a way that I think is lacking in later games. That being said the back end of the game (ESPECIALLY LOST IZALITH) really leave a sour taste. Clearly some of the worst content in any FROMSOFT title ever and shockingly poor for just about any comparably budgeted game… Expand
