    Nice game but no revelation. Some bugs but no frustrating. Positively fighting mechanics.

    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.

    Be warned Dark Souls is not for the faint of heart, its known for its

    One of the most enjoyable games I’ve ever picked up! The level design, the learning curve, the progression and feel of achievement! It’s a true masterpiece!

    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

    It's a good game. Unique atmosphere. Game design of locations is on an unrealistic level. The voice acting and story are good.
    Among the cons are a lot of bugs.

    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 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

    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.

    10/10 one of the best games ever made. Music, atmosphere, gameplay, lore and everything overall a top-tier game.

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.

    Remastered edition is mostly made for new players, but it is still Dark Souls, one of the best action RPG-s in history.

    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.
  3. 60
    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.
