    Dark Souls Remastered is a missed opportunity to spruce up the most beloved title in the Souls series. While it was exciting to take a trip back to Lordran, it's less of a Remaster and more of a port. If you're looking for Dark Souls 1 on modern consoles, this is for you. If you're looking for a new experience out of Dark Souls 1, this may not be for you.

    Still a solid title, but mislabeled as something that it doesn't really feel like.    … Expand

It was a massive disappointment, The graphics were barely updated, 60 fps is good but not a big enough change for me to care other than blighttown no longer being negative three fps that was good, however the game didn't change enough for me to be to interested in doing everything again it was just so over hyped and not really worth the price tag at all, it's original intended audience was newer players to the franchise whether they started on Bloodborne or DS3/DS2 and of course the veterans that wanted to experience this amazing game again, but it turned out that it was more tuned to players who are new to the series who never experienced the better gameplay and in general game compared to the others (especially Dark Souls 2) I finished this game and noticed something not sure whether it was because before I got Dark Souls Remastered it had been awhile since I played Dark Souls but common enemies seem harder to deal with now but the bosses seem so much easier, seriously I'll run down how many deaths I had to each boss (yes I counted)
    Gargoyles: 2 Deaths, Quelaag: 0 deaths, Capra Demon: 0 Deaths, Taurus Demon: 0 deaths, Iron golem: 0 deaths, O&S: 2 deaths, Four Kings: 1 death, Nito: 0 deaths, BoC: 0 deaths, Seath: 1 death (not including purposeful death), Sanctuary Guardian: 0 deaths, Artorias: 2 deaths, Manus: 0 deaths, Kalameet: 1 death (not including Purposeful death), Priscilla: 0 deaths and to finish it off Gwyn: 1 death... That is my honest and hopefully well written opinion to summarise New players definitely check the game out but veterans please don't get it unless you want to I can't stop you...    … Expand

    The game itself is perfect. Remastered as in time, much has been corrected, which gives new sensations from the game. But the ideal of this version is far.

    También contiene el DLC "Artorias of the Abyss", que previamente venía incluído en la edición Dark Souls: Prepare To Die Edition.

    El juego es la misma obra maestra que fue lanzada hace 7 años, pero este remaster es cutre, no aporta nada nuevo, y básicamente te venden lo mismo que con la edición mencionada previamente pero otra vez. Es culpa tanto de FromSoftware por venderte lo mismo de nuevo a 40 euros que de los usuarios por permitir estas prácticas.

    ¿Recomendado? Sí, pero como "remaster" es muy muy flojo.    … Expand

    JUGABILIDAD:
    Intencional o no, la fluidez del personaje es para dar pena. Puede que se deba a un problema de optimización que se arrastró hasta esta versión, o simplemente que tenga un gameplay pesado, lento (pero en el mal sentido) y que en resumen, se siente fallido. Aunque admito que puedo verme un tanto subjetivo al tratarse de un Souls y que, como suele ocurrir, termino comparándolo con Bloodborne.
    Y tal cual como el ya mencionado, Dark Souls también agrega dificultad artificial con el ya clásico de FS en que mueres al caer por un vacío que es imposible de ver, una trampa de la cual no hay señal, y claro, la desastrosa cámara que nos hará morir varias veces cuando nos ataquen enemigos que jamás pudimos enfocar porque la misma está “atorada” entre dos paredes. Un desastre que la desarrolladora maquilla de dificultad. Aunado a esto los mensajes en pantalla nos harán perder también en algunas ocasiones, y es que a la mitad de una pelea, ¿Qué me importa si el enemigo soltó o no un ítem?

    Eso sí, el diseño de escenarios y su interconexión es muy bueno, muy por debajo de juegos posteriores (Bloodborne, nuevamente) pero igualmente bueno. Mientras que la mayoría de los jefes no son complicados, sino que están situados en escenarios que suelen ser engañosos, y que recalcan la dificultad artificial de la que hablaba. En varios de ellos, por ejemplo, tendremos que dejarnos caer desde una determinada altura, lo que significa que ya de entrada empezamos la batalla con la mitad de nuestra barra de salud.
    Otros jefes, sin embargo, son más bien injustos. Algo clásico de FS, claro está. Y aunque en algunas batallas podremos pedir la ayuda de otros personajes, dicha ayuda de los NPC está demasiado desproporcionada. En la batalla contra la mariposa, por ejemplo, yo no tuve que hacer literalmente nada, y la NPC la derrotó de tres golpes. Caso contrario a lo que pasó con el jefe final del DLC.

    Bastante roto, en resumen.

    GRÁFICOS:
    Visualmente decepcionante incluso para tratarse de un remaster. Poco que decir mas que eso: es decente pero nada que reluzca para bien. La nula narrativa y pobres cinemáticas tampoco ayudan de mucho.

    SONIDO:
    Muy bueno. Solo de empezar la voz narradora nos damos una idea de la calidad de sonido e inmersión que el juego ofrece.
    Las áreas están muy bien ambientada, y las peleas contra los jefes son memorables gracias a la banda sonora de cada uno de ellos, no tengo queja al respecto y lo cierto es que he disfrutado mucho del soundtrack.

    INNOVACIÓN:
    Nula. Un Demon Soul's 1.5 con apenas un lavado de cara para venderlo como juego nuevo.    … Expand

    Игра с потрясающим сеттингом и дизайном врагов, которая заставляет тебя страдать. Дизайн локаций порой поражает воображение, а порой ты проклинаешь того, кто придумал такую локацию. Тоже касается и боссов. Однако саундтрек у игры, как и подобает японским играм, всегда на высоте.
    Главным же недостатком игры являются многочисленные спорные решения принятые разработчиками, в том числе расположение костров, возможность телепортации между ними только спустя половину игры, механика проклятья, дисбаланс силы оружия и т.д., которые искусственно увеличивают сложность игры или даже скорее её муторность.
    Также для кого-то будет минусом, а для кого-то плюсом соотношение геймплея и сюжета, а тут оно примерно 99 к 1.
    Однако несмотря на недостатки эта игра служила одни из первых шагов к развитию отличной серии игр, из-за чего определённо заслуживает прохождения.    … Expand

Second half of the game (after Anor Londo) sucks, the bosses in this game also suck, you're really going to sit and lie and tell people that this game has better bosses than Bloodborne or Dark Souls III? Not a chance, you fight a re-skin 3 times, and there is genuinely only two (yes, two) bosses that are truly great being Ornstein and Smough and Knight Artorias, who are undoubtably outstanding. The world/level design is truly phenomenal though and saves the game a lot.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. my opinion on the souls franchise is somewhat bias as I have been a massive of fan of Fromsoftware's releases over the years so take that into account. And remember this is my opinion.
    This game is fantastic, if you've never played it try it. And don't you dare go hollow!

    *Some Spoilers Below here*

    This is one of my favorite games of all time, I think it is one of the few games I have played that come close to video game perfection.
    The Kingdom of Lordran (The games setting) Is one of the most immersive environments I have ever explored in a video game, and a lot of that has to do with excellent Metroid esc level design, meaning that the whole entire world is literally connected; In Dark Souls you are able to go through almost the entirety of the game without seeing a single loading screen (Not counting dying). And this really helps build world building in a way that you really just have to experience for yourself to really understand. The world building of Dark souls also lies in the look/aesthetic of the areas you explore, which is something I don't hear people discuss a majority of the time. Lordran is a beautiful and haunting land, you go from stunning the sun bathed Anor londo. To the dark and twisted abyss of the Oolacile, the contrast of the areas you explore in is so polarizing and they somehow complement each other perfectly. And the music is absolutely stunning as well; while exploring Lordran you will hear very little or no music at all, making the moments when you hear something like the powerful choir and the grand piano of Gwyn's arena even more powerful.

    And now the topic of difficulty, I don't think you need my review to know that this game is difficult and unforgiving. Everyone has heard the classic "This is the Dark souls of ___ ", as much as game journalists love to compare this game to everything that they dies once in, its really to the level that they make it out to be. However yes you will die, if it is the first time you have played one of these games, you will die a lot; however death in these games is treated much differently in this game than most, the developers are very aware of the games difficulty, many of the Npc's that you will encounter will always try to cheer you on and give you words of motivation, as when you quit and give up you go hollow.

    Lastly I would like to talk about how i had given the game a 7 after all of the praise I've given the game, now I would give Dark Souls a 10, not the remaster. To put it bluntly I have never seen such little passion and effort put into remastering a classic such as this, there are such little changes it is downright laughable. The most you will be getting is a somewhat better pvp scene (at least on console) and maybe some new vines. The only changes I really noticed in my playthroughs were few quality of life changes that you could just mod in the original, and they work worse than the modded changes. Lets take the Drop amount feature, it essentially just made you be able to drop many items all at once rather than one. I have had many problems such as items just disappearing when using this feature, it also has at least 3 known duplication glitches and adds even more of a cheating problem that Fromsoft has simply neglected to even exist for the longest time. This remaster hardly even fixes many of the issues of the original had if not it has more bugs than its predecessor, which is absolutely ridiculous. The only thing that is good the has come from this remaster is that got ported to the eighth and soon to be ninth generation consoles. If you are interested in all of the problems with this remaster, I suggest a great video by Infernoplus titled "Dark Souls Remastered is Trash".

    All in all Dark Souls is a fantastic and brilliant game with impressive world design, a beautiful soundtrack, Addictive combat (All be it clunky at times) and a great challenge most people I think are bound to hate and love.    … Expand

They could have taken the time to fix some of these Moving on to the game itself I personally didn't like some of Dark souls features. Like the huge lack of warp locations. I can't think of any reason why they had so few of these. You end up having to sometimes walk several minutes just go to a level you need to revisit after beating it already? Sometimes there is hole areas without a single warp location yet other areas there is 2. It's tedious and annoying. Especially when your previous game had a decent amount of them. A few of the levels on dark souls I'm really not a fan of and not for the difficulty. I hate when games have invisbke floors. It looks like a bug that hasn't been patched. And you get MSG's in the game anyway so you can tell where they are if someone has wrote on them. It's just a cheap way to add difficulty. And another level where it's so dark even with the brightness on the game and TV ramped up to max you still can't see anything. So you can be walking as slow as possible hit a ledge then fall. It's extremely frustrating. It's like a hooror movie with crappy cheap jump scares instead of designing something that is scary without making you jump. That takes really good design and creative thinking. From software is capable in this as when you goto Demon Souls the prison was a great map. Or even the dlc in dark souls where those ghost things are. Dark souls is no doubt a good game. With a decent variety in spells. Loads of weapons and great bosses. But certain levels were just poorly designed and lack of warping location's means allot of tedious messing around.… Expand

I can appreciate that many fantastic moments in future fromsoftware games came from Dark Souls but I feel that these big and impressive moments in Dark Souls don't hold up when compared to future fromsoftware games.

Blighttown can suck it though. Also, there's a lot of glitches in this game. Or at least poorly coded AI. So many enemies fall off the cliffs easily and make for free kills. Gwyn's theme is beautiful though. I love it. Oh, and Gwynevere? Hubba hubba. Chest ahead indeed.6/10 cause I liked the bosses and locations a lot.… Expand

    Dark Souls Remastered doesn't make any dramatic changes to its original release several years ago. The struggle to progress is constant, but just as every moment could be another death, it could also be a moment of great triumph and self-accomplishment. Playing at 60fps makes me wonder how I ever managed to play at half of that rate several years ago. It's a beautiful remaster, even if it isn't a complete overhaul. It's a great entry for newcomers or a great walk down memory lane for fans of its original release.
