    A classic that defined an entire genre. More than 10 years after its release, most games still can't match its freedom in character building, nor the smart level design. Enemy AI hasn't aged that well, though, especially if you are already familiar with the company's later games, although a newcomer will probably still find this game a challenge.

    I can easily say that the game is far above the average in general. In my opinion, it is at the top of my masterpiece list. But in my opinion…. Because the game doesn’t really appeal to everyone.

But in my opinion…. Because the game doesn’t really appeal to everyone. You have the possibility to leave the game for the first 1 hour, you have the possibility to play for 10 hours without interruption. I would like to give a little tip for the newcomers to the game. Because if someone had given me this tip before I started the game, I would have been much less nervous while playing the game. Start the game with pyromancy and improve on the magic feature. I can talk for hours about this game and I want to talk. But what I want more than talk is my desire to stop writing as soon as possible and return to the game. Although I have finished it many times, I am dying to experience the same tension over and over.

    the 60 fps make this game more accessible than before and the graphics upgrade are also a good point

    Souls'u konseptinin gerçek potansiyelini ortaya çıkartan ilk oyun. Dark Souls gerçek anlamda bir başyapıt, bosslarıyla, kombat mekanikleri ile, harita tasarımıyla piksel piksel işlenmiş bir oyun.

    This game is amazing even by 2023 standards. Miyazaki-san is one the most innovative persons in the gaming industry, and every soulsborne I play is a unique experience. The port itself is good! Stable 60 fps, online mode is active, all that good things.

    One of the best designed worlds in gaming, the interconnectivity of the areas is unmatched by every game that came after it. Unfortunately, after Anor Londo the game takes a nosedive into mediocrity until the amazing ending.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. No comment about the quality of the port.

    1st half was 10/10, but after Anor Londo, the level design and boss quality dropped quite significantly.

    Diffiiculty scaling was all over the place in the 2nd half too, therefore 7/10.

    DLC was kind of lazy, just an asset flip of Darkroot Basin, but the bosses more than made up for it, so 8/10.

    Overall: 8/10    … Expand

    After putting a lot of time, effort and frustration into it and playing other From Soft titles there is actually an outstanding game with a great atmosphere and fantastic gameplay hidden underneath a huge pile of annoyances like clunky menus, lack of modern features and unexplained mechanics.

    For casuals I'd strongly recommend to just play a more fun and accessible modern PC game like god of war any day or (if you are dedicated) to start your From Soft journey with Elden Ring.

    For people who are intrigued by From Soft games this is another fantastic title to spend hundreds of hours on. If I had to pick one "genre" to play for the rest of my live it would be From Soft titles - for me their gameplay and atmosphere is just unmatched. These aren't normal games this is art. I can't even tell which one I like the most because they are all playing in another league than any other game I have played over the last 30 years. And for that they deserve a 10.    … Expand

    Absolutely loved the game. It was my first souls game and a nice introduction to the series. I did feel a bit empty after finishing it. I was like ''this is it?''. I mean the game was so fun and cool but the ending was abruptly cut. It was missing something, but I don't know what. Would've given it a point less but

    To this day, DS 1 remains my best in the franchise. Everything about this game is great. I'm maybe biased and would defend it brainlessly, but to anyone who wants to experience a pure DS experience, use a controller, some mods for graphical issues if you encounter one and the ultimate HD mod.

    One of the greatest games ever created. What some people miss about video games is that they're mainly about action not the writing. You can make your own inferences about the world presented in Dark Souls without the pointless exposition that's found in some video games, hence the writing of the game is brilliant.

    So the legend began...
    The incredible world created by Hidetaka Miyazaki still warms my soul with its stories and events.
    A huge amount of amazing music that fits perfectly with the universe of the game.
    The atmosphere and spirit of the universe is one of the strongest that has ever been created.
    God, how I love Dark Souls!

    اغلب الزعماء عاديين جدا وقليلين الصعبين والممتعين

The world is so distinct from itself yet connected with the levels honing your skills effectively, the bosses are creative and unique with brilliant designs, both mechanically and visually, yes the difficulty is something you need to get used to, but the feeling of nailing a hard boss after hours of practice is unmatched in any other game, the progression is excellent and you truly feel stronger and more skilled as you progress (even excluding leveling up) and features maybe the best thematic final boss in all of gaming. The quiet, tragic, story is slowly drip fed throughout the game and hits you right in the feels at times once you put everything together.

    This Dark Souls Remastered targets people who played the original game on console, or the ones who never played it before. It’s still one of a kind game, but this remastered version is definitely too lazy.

    Dark Souls: Remastered can almost barely be considered a remastered title for PC gamers and, while it provides some increase in graphics and quality of life improvements, these additions are largely negligible unless you’re a dedicated multiplayer fan. Despite this fact, Dark Souls is still an amazing game that is worth playing through more than once, and there’s a lot here for gamers who’ve never played through the first title in the Souls series.
