    A good structure of locations, an excellent variety of enemies and bosses, a large number of secrets, which can be considered both a plus and a minus. Unfortunately, most of the bosses are very easy when compared to the third part.

    -This game feels like its not from 2011, but 2007 (except graaphics)
    -Its hard, because the game FORCES you to use its weekest mechanics-jumping for example.
    -Hardest bosses-1)camera, 2) kick -Many locations are dark as **** (DARK souls, i get it), one wrong step and YOU DIED-thats not challenging, thats annoying. -Week, unsatisfying bosses. Except ornstein and smough. They are cool.    -This game feels like its not from 2011, but 2007 (except graaphics)

    One of the best Action RPGs out there. A beautiful, varied and interconnected world, good sense of risk and reward, and some amazingly well-designed boss fights. It falters in its third act, but by then it already reaches the status of a masterpiece. A beautiful soundtrack to accompany the journey. Praise the Sun!

    Awesome game. The fact you can play through the game multiple times with different weapon styles, spells, the different routes through most of the bosses/areas. And of course, the best part of Dark Souls will always be the bosses and the challenges. If I could give it higher than a 10 I would.

    Не буду судить ремастер, так как не проходил игру в 2011.
    Игра приносит массу удовольствия, а именно геймплей и противники. Наверное, один из лучших геймплеев среди игр. В последок хочу сказать, что концовка не оправдала ожиданий. А если судить в общем, то эта игра затягивает очень сильно.    Не буду судить ремастер, так как не проходил игру в 2011.

    Dark Souls is a fantastic game but you shouldn't buy this on PC. First of all, below 60 fps makes the game slower, the graphics is just better textures and slight enhancement, there aren't much graphics options to lower or increase certain settings. So if you have a medium or low end pc, i'd not recommend this unless if you have a console or a modern gaming pc.

    I thought that not having the teleport until Anor Londo was very fine, since the shortcuts and such manage to keep the exploration and backtracking very good until then.

    I think the soundtrack is kind of hard to evaluate because it basically only has a boss fight soundtrack, and the boss fights are good. I don't like this 'format' very much. But man the music of the final boss fight is amazing.

    But damn, the 'remastered' of the title is almost an embellishment since the game is basically identical to the first game, they didn't fix anything and improved almost nothing.    … Expand

    Это моя любимая часть серии. Не лучшая, но любимая.

    В оригинальную первую часть серии я не когда не играл, да и зачем? Даже если изменения в ремастереде были незначительны, для не знакомого с серией игрока (вроде меня) это ничего не значило. Тем не менее. Эту часть я люблю прежде всего за атмосферу, не третья, не (тем более) вторая, не имеют столь сильной атмосферы. Конечно-же,    Это моя любимая часть серии. Не лучшая, но любимая.

Технически эта часть не худшая (технически худшая - вторая) но и не лучшая (лучшая - третья)

    Короче, игра в определённой сфере - шедевр. Но, тем не менее, - 8,5/10.

Sin ningún tipo de pudor puedo confirmar con toda seguridad que este videojuego es la pura representación de lo que tiene que llegar a aspirar cualquier lanzamiento en la industria. Es un videojuego de tal calibre que destaca prácticamente en cualquier aspecto que se mencione. La historia y narrativa en si es una verdadera joya argumental repleta de interés narrativo que aumenta la concentración y la admiración por el lore que desprende cada esquina del mapeado. En si tengo que decir que no es mi favorito de la saga. Dado que Dark Souls III me parece que en mi gusto tiene una narrativa mas atractiva. Pero en si no puedo desmerecer o desprestigiar esta primera entrega de la saga. Que en su versión remaster lanzada en 2018 resulta mas accesible a los jugadores que anteriormente no han podido disfrutarla. No se me ocurre un motivo por el cual no se pueda recomendar tanto este videojuego como la saga de Dark Souls en si. Creo que todo el mundo que pueda decir que le gustan los videojuegos debería por lo menos probarlo. Dado que la influencia del mismo se hace notoria por una mayoría de desarrolladores y esta logra poder trasmitir esa esencia de Miyazaki que tanto destaca en otros videojuegos. Creo que no hay mucho que decir de la saga Dark Souls porque en si se hace única y alberga tanto nivel que no logra tener rivalidad tanto en el genero como en la influencia en la industria. Es un videojuego mas que recomendado para cualquier tipo de jugador. Y una autentica joya argumental y un autentico exponente del genero y del mundo de los videojuegos.… Expand

    Probably the biggest waste of potential ever to be found in a modern game which was playtested by a 3 year old and its gameplay decisions were taken by a commitee of clowns

    The good:
    -Build variety and rpg elements are very well implemented
    -The timing in combat is very good and fair (remark "THE TIMING)"
    -Very good, immersive and innovative level design, moreso for the time it was released
    -I actually like the mechanic of having to clear the whole area before the boss once you died, it makes the game more punishing without ruining the gameplay experience

    The bad:
    -One of the worst physic engines ever to be seen in the history of gaming, it makes the game a pain to play with how much what you see is different from what's happening with the hitboxes, to the point where it's plain unfair with bosses like Centipede Demon or Gaping Dragon
    -Incredibly outdated and poorly optimized UI, accompanied with some terrible controls
    -Ineffective and plain terrible balance, I truly can't understand how trivially easy and simple some bosses are and how infernally unfair some others are (The Gargoyles, also known as: GET GANKED WITH NO COUNTERPLAY, THE BOSS)
    -One of the most horrible boss rosters to be witnessed by mankind, the bosses are riddled with problems and terrible design choices that make them disgustingly bad, ranging from the cancerous rng ridden Bed of Chaos and Gwyn (with whom you have to rely on the AI randomly choosing to hit you with the slow attack instead of the fast attack, which is unparryable due to its speed, 8 times in a row after having knocked him to the ground), to bosses which rely on the game's most appaling weakness (PHYSICS) like the Gaping Dragon, Centipede Demon or Seath (boss that actually becomes trivial when you stand on the right spot because you literally become invulnerable to its spikes) to "GET GANKED NERD" territory with nefarious **** like the Four Kings and the Gargoyles (which, don't get me wrong, double bosses are not a bad thing, Ornstein and Smough are actually the only good and well thought-out boss in the game, since they did a good implementation of a 1v2 combat which is at the same time fair and very difficult). Truly 99% of Dark Souls' bosses are appaling, except the aforementioned Ornstein and Smough which is the only good boss, and the Iron Golem, which is fair but its difficulty wasn't implemented to its fullest, making it a trivially easy boss.

    Probably the worst sin of this game is being shamelessly blind to its own weaknesses, gameplay choices were made as if the physics motor was actually top-tier, when in reality what you end up with is Queelag dealing you the same damage with its explosion if you're at melee range or at the last pixel of its radius, or the Gaping Dragon doing 3x damage to you when walking with its shamelessly inaccurate hitbox (with my friends we actually call him the shoe box because that) than when he stomps you with his ten thousand teeth.
    Dark Souls has the potential to be a good game, but it's a laughably, vomitingly bad product with a few promising glimpses of glory.    … Expand

    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.
