Despite enjoying all of these fantastic games, I find myself consistently crawling my juicy ass back to this one. Its lore, simplicity, and freedom are all profoundly captivating. It's an absolutely astounding game, with the only drawback being its occasional clunkiness, which I don't care for since the game is just that good. Expand

    La organización y distribución del mundo es de lo mejor que ha podido dar el videojuego, el combate todavía a día de hoy es divertidísimo, la historia es muy entretenida, difícil de seguir para los nuevos pero dedicándole tiempo se convierte en una maravilla. Es una compra segura.
    Es un juego que ayuda a conocerse a uno mismo por dentro, ayuda a los que se sienten solos o sin salidas en la vida a ver las cosas de otra forma, ayuda a salir de un agujero del que a veces es difícil. No es un juego perfecto pero, ¿qué lo es en esta vida?
    Sólo puedo dar las gracias a la vida por haber podido jugar Dark souls

    I love this game i've invest so many time on X360 and PC tip for a Easy Life, Grind a LOT, except for One Boss on late game you pretty much can defeat everything with little suffering. I Recommend that you play Dark Souls 2 Scholar before this One because this first game a lot more punitive than the Sequel.

    Answer: 75 characters is between 10 words and 19 words with spaces included in the character count. If spaces are not included in the character count, then 75 characters is between 12 words and 25 words.

Those small bugs and clunky mechanics are the definition of a game of its age. I think a remake is a must for this masterpiece. The world is the best in the souls series by my opinion. It's connected in a way where you can just explore to your hearts content and unlock shortcuts that can get you anywhere. You get fast travel later on in the game because the game wants you to taste the interconnected world. The combat is good but definitely not better than the sequels, because although it's slow and methodic, it can get very annoying sometimes based on the build you are. Of course, with a strength poise build, this game is way easier. Poise is a mechanic where you don't get staggered when being hit by enemies, so some enemies with combos give you way less trouble like Gwyn or Artorias. Generally, this game is a masterpiece but I truly would like a remake with fixed hitboxes and combat. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Para empezar esto resulta ser mas un port y no un remastered, no hay muchos cambios fuera de la optimizacion y mejor resolución, y aunque sean pocos cambios se agradece poder jugar el juego sin caídas de fps a diferencia de la versión original, ahora si voy a dar mi opinión del juego como tal. Dark souls al igual que los demás souls, siguen la fórmula vista en demon souls. Pero este logró perfeccionar aquellas cosas que demon souls no hizo tan bien como su diseño de nivel ahora con un mapa vertical muy bien interconectado que nos permite alternar diferentes rutas y atajos para llegar a nuestro objetivo, otorgando una sensación de exploración que pocos juegos consiguen, el lore como es costumbre busca ser lo más confuso y complejo posible para que el jugador tenga que arreglárselas para averiguar el trasfondo del juego con la poca información que tenemos, los controles pueden sentirse algo anticuados a día de hoy al parecer más lentos que muchos otros juegos más actuales. Sin embargo el diseño de combate que tiene este juego es único. Hay una gran cantidad de armamento y objetos que podremos utilizar para superar los desafíos que nos ofrece el juego, dando una gran libertad al jugador para poder jugar a la manera que más vea conveniente, la ambientación es decadente y melancólica, en todo el juego no habra ningun sonido de fondo a excepción de momentos puntuales como bossfights, y solo escucharemos nuestras pisadas haciendo que se sienta una gran soledad y tristeza en la mayor parte de nuestra aventura, tambien habrán npc's que se cruzaran en nuestra aventura y dependiendo de nuestras acciones esto puede afectar el final de estos. Y ahora voy a hablar del aspecto que más se ha criticado del juego y ese sería su segunda mitad. Después de derrotar a orstein y smough y hablar con gwynevere, la princesa de la luz solar y una de las hijas de gwyn, nos entregara la vasija del señor, con la que podemos teletransportarnos entre hogueras, y ahora finalmente podemos enfrentarnos a los grandes señores de los que tanto nos hablaban, sin embargo el recorrido hacia ellos en la mayoría de casos resulta ser tedioso y la gran calidad en la que sobresalió la primera mitad aquí ya no esta. Con zonas como izalith perdida que reciclan muchos jefes anteriores y ahora los hacen como enemigos normales demuestra que se quedaron sin tiempo para sacar el juego. Y ni hablar de la tumba de los gigantes que en pocas palabras es tediosa y aburrida, ya que sin algunos objetos no seremos capaces de ver absolutamente nada. Y me parece algo triste para un gran juego como este, sin embargo la segunda mitad personalmente no me parece tan mala ya que también hay zonas bastante decentes como los archivos del duque y las ruinas de nuevo londo. Lo bueno es que tiempo después sacaron un dlc que nos hablaba más a fondo de otros personajes que no pudimos conocer en persona en el juego base, como por ejemplo artorias, ya que habíamos escuchado sobre su leyenda y ahora finalmente nos enfrentamos a él. Despues de derrotar a los señores y colocar sus almas en la vasija finalmente llegaremos al lugar mas importante del juego, y ese es el horno de la primera llama, y despues de cruzar un camino con caballeros negros muy peligrosos llegaremos finalmente al jefe final. A diferencia de otros juegos en donde esperariamos a un jefe final epico aqui solo quedan cenizas de lo que una vez fue gwyn el señor de la luz solar, el combate simplemente es triste y la banda sonora con esa melodia tan melancólica es muy conmovedora, y despues de derrotarlo tendremos la opción de sacrificarnos como combustible para extender una vez mas la edad del fuego en donde solo retrasamos la llegada de algo inevitable, o gobernar como el señor de una nueva era de oscuridad. Despues de poner a parir a dark souls mi conclusión final es que es una obra maestra que recomiendo a todo el mundo, y aunque ya tenga muchos años desde que salio en 2011 sigue siendo una experiencia inolvidable la cual se debería dar una oportunidad, y definitivamente dark souls es el dark souls de los videojuegos.

    Cons
    - the lack of omnidirectional rolling is sad for a remaster
    - the dreaded Demon Ruins/Lost Izalith como still feels unfinished on every playthrough

    The original Dark Souls has become an iconic entry for the series and for a good reason. The game oozes its own personality and presents you with what it is right off the bat. It has no issue punishing your bad decisions.

    More than any other entry, the combat puzzle in this game is slow and methodical, rewarding careful shield blocks and taking opportunities only when allowed by the enemy. Not getting greedy is beyond important in this game.

    When it comes to its world, no other game does level design like the original Dark Souls. Not even other Fromsoft games have ever recaptured the greatness that is this world. How a game released in 2011 still has yet to find an equal to this day is baffling to me.

    What also helps is the attention to detail when it comes to environmental storytelling. The missing statue in Anor Londo, Havels gear alongside the occult club and the armor of Iron Tarkus beneath the rafters. The world makes so much sense it is haunting.

    The one thing I wish was added with the remaster is omnidirectional rolling. I luckily played this as my first entry into the Souls franchise but I can see people coming back to this game from Dark Souls 2 and 3 and finding it super clunky thanks to it lacking this mechanic.

    Overall, Dark Souls is one of the best games ever made, from top to bottom just fantastic. I am not a person to replay games often, but I have 12 playthroughs of this game behind me and I know I will go for number 13 when a fancy for a new build strikes me. What a great start to a franchise.

    This game is just amazing. If you play Dark Souls without knowing anything about Dark Souls, it is for sure going to be one of the greatests games you have ever played even today, when the original game is alread 12 years old.

    About the difficulty, just ignore those who say that "it is too hard". It is a senseless criticism that only proves that the person didn't understand the game. It is like complaining about The Lord of the Rings because the films or the books are too long, when that property is an essential feature of the product.

    Pros:
    - Good and deep battle system with good amount of weapons, spells and armor sets.
    - Amazing map design that still today stands as the best in the series.
    - Beautiful art that makes every area feel unique and engaging (except Lost Izalith; not that).
    - Memorable bosses and fair variety of enemies.
    - Great community.

    Cons:
    - Bad menus, especially the inventories, being these hard to organize and offering little options to sort your items.
    - Too little information. You will probably need a basic guide to understand the stats, how to upgrade weapons, etc.
    - Checkpoints far from bosses arenas. If you die (you will), get ready to walk 1 - 3 minutes back to the boss arena. For me, this is by far the worst aspect of the game and they definetly should have fixed it in the remaster. This issue is especially relevant in the DLC.
    - Some bosses and enemies are repeated in the second part of the game. Thankfully, it wasn't enough to make the game feel repetitive at all.

    I give it a 9.1/10.

    This isn't necessarily for old players. This port is mostly for the ones who only played Bloodborne and/or Dark Souls 3. At least we don't have to witness the disaster of Blighttown anymore. I'm honestly happy they remastered it cause my PC is not good for gaming and my PS3 is dead.

    Dark Souls has the perfect difficulty in a game in my opinion. My first playthrough took around 40 hours and I had a tough time with it. This was my first Souls game after all. As I replayed the game several times, I found the optimal way to deal with the areas and bosses. In my most recent playthrough I beat the game in about 10 hours. It feels incredibly rewarding to truly "beat" the game. Great level design, even better bosses. There are a few poorly designed bosses and areas, but overall an amazing game.

    -The story.In this game you’ll have to link the fire for the first time since Gwyn did it, or you can abandon it for fading.Again if you want to hear full story you’ll have to watch lots of lore videos on Vaadis channel, and others ( except Sekiro ).
    -Soundtrack is decent but there very few memorable tracks from whole soundtrack - Knoght Artorias, Ornstein and Smough, Great Wolf Sif, Gwyn, Firelink Shrine, A Moments Peace, Nameless Song.
    -DLC of this game is one the best DLCs FromSoftware ever produce alongside with Bloodborne The Old Hunters & Dark Souls 3 Ringed City.Locations and bosses are very interesting and far harder than main game, and all the bosses from DLC are either Great and challenging or just challenging.
    -Dark Souls Remastered is my fifth favorite FromSoftware game, it has a lot good elements and provides fascinating and challenging world to explore.

It Is certanly One of the most original and brilliant games in the entire history of videogames (the map, the combat sistem, the way to intend difficulty).

    The issues started after Anor Londo. Up to this point I felt like learning and growing, but right after Anor Londo everything became just too easy. I just face tanked Neato and Four Kings. No dodging or blocking, just Havel's armor with high poise, Great Club and pressing attack repeatedly did the thing. Other enemies did not show any challenge either, which led me to lose any further interest, and I dropped the game. But maybe it's just too easy for 2022, since I killed most of the bosses in one try anyway. Also, Blighttown and Sens Fortress were not as bad as I expected, even somewhat cool in their own way.

    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.
