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

    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.

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

Dark souls remastered is a very enjoyable souls games with a large variety of bosses, weapons etc. i feel that if the budget of the games was higher than it could have been better as in one of the final areas, they reused two of the early game bosses as basic enemies plus there were a few disappointing bosses such as "the bed of chaos". Other than this, the game is pretty solid overall with an amazing dlc. not perfect but would definitely recommend… 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

    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.… Expand

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.

Voy a darla como alguien que se ha iniciado en Elden Ring recientemente, e incluso ha sacado su platino. Dark Souls es un mal juego, una basura sobrevalorada. No existe dificultad, es desequilibrio. Incluso es prácticamente imposible pasar del segundo boss, las dos gárgolas del campanario. No tiene sentido que un enemigo común te quite media barra de salud de un golpe. Una de las peores cosas que tiene, es que cada vez que mueres en un boss, tienes que aparecer en una hoguera demasiado lejos, punto negativo que comparten todos los souls a mi parecer. Tanto costaría poner un menú al morir para poder reintentar el combate directamente? Aparecer a 5 minutos de volver a entrar al boss no aporta nada, solo es perder el tiempo y concretamente los enemigos del camino vuelven a reaparecer y seguramente llegarás tocado de vida al boss o con menos pociones de las que deberías. Esto se puede permitir una vez o dos, pero cuando llevas 50 intentos en un boss creedme que es muy frustrante, y en serio que no es el primer juego de From que juego. Los gráficos son muy mediocres y malos, aún para ser un juego de 2012, que existen juegos de esa época con gráficos mucho más decentes. Las armas y armaduras parecen de cartón, eso sí, las tuyas, porque las de los enemigos son de adamantium. Para colmo muchísimas veces mueres de manera injusta, cuando has esquivado un ataque pero el juego detecta que no y te inflinge el daño, y en muchas ocasiones esto te lleva a perder el combate. Es un juego más frustrante y mal hecho que difícil en sí, y si consideráis dificultad que un enemigo común te mate de dos toques, en serio, no tiene nada que ver con dificultad de la IA ni cosas semejantes, es una "dificlultad" vacía y sin sentido. En fin, sé que muchos odiaréis lo que he escrito, pero en el fondo sabéis de que algunos de los aspectos que he escrito los compartiréis. Me alegro de que podáis disfrutar un juego así, pero después de llevar muchos años como jugador, esto me parece muy malo, mediocre en muchos sentidos y sobrevalorado.… Expand

    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.    … Expand

    - 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.    … Expand

    Dark Souls è storia del videogioco. Ha dato inizio a un nuovo modo per vedere un'opera videoludica. Non che prima di esso non esistessero capolavori videoludici, ma è comunque una rivoluzione di qualche tipo. Mi fa strano vederlo così basso di rating. Vabbè chissene frega tanto i voti ai videogiochi sono una cosa vacua e infantile. 10.

However, despite some of the questionable boss designs and some of the horribly designed areas in the second half of the main game, the experince itself and the highs more than make up it. The added DLC also really helps propel the game in quality. With some of the most interesting bosses and storytelling in any fromsoft game to this day, it really cements this title as iconic.… 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.

    -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 runs well, looks beautiful, and is so amazing to play. The game has crashed twice, but it was in some odd edge cases in unimportant areas. But that's all a review for Dark Souls.

Honestly disappointing, and only an excuse to make as much money from a new generation console release. For new buyers, it's great. For old ones, not so much.… Expand

    Dark souls is hard and this revamp of the calssic is a great face lift. If you like to die and go again to get the rush of finally winning the hard fights you will love this game.

    I tried the game, I failed and I gave it 6 points... then months later I tried again and everyone who mastered DS knows this feeling - suddenly everything became clear. The grafics are bad, the controlls are even worse, it is buggy, it is unfair and it tells you nothing about how to do any of the things you have to do. But that all doesn't seem to matter, it is amazing.

But that all doesn't seem to matter, it is amazing. Sometimes only the big picture is what really counts. + what really amazes me is the fact that there are so many optional areas the game also doesn't tell you about for example Ash Lake, Painted World etc. Everywhere are hidden paths, items, bosses - I can't imagine how many hours it took and how much imagination people needed to find everything hidden in this game. Praise the sun!… Expand

    decent but only 30 fps for a 7 years old game is poor optimization from the devs

    El mal diseño de niveles y el control roto se mantuvo en ese remaster sacado por el mismísimo Belzebu.

    DS had lot of potential but It was not fully expressed. 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). But It's full of mistakes (for example, It's very Easy the end of the game to be over levelled) and bad bossfights (some of them too Easy and others are badly programmed).DS had lot of potential but It was not fully expressed.

    Loved it.
    Not a massive visual upgrade, but it runs far, far smoother than on the PS3.
    Its a masterful game and probably as influential as GTA3 was.

    Eu gostei do remaster , joguei muito a versão de ps3 e nessa versão remasterizada para o ps4 podemos ver upgrade nos graficos e também jogar a 60 fps que é muito bom , mas acredito que poderam ter melhorado ainda mais os graficos desse remaster.

    Never played the original game. However I played this imagining it was the same exact game from 2011 but with fixes in graphics and performance, as well as bug fixes. So for me, it holds up very well. A great game. Slightly better than Demons’ Souls.

    It was elected the best game of all time for a reason. The best gameplay that you can find is right here. And thank god the fps is fixed.

    Juego perfecto, demasiado difícil quizá en cuanto a la información que oculta el juego respecto a algunos items o que a veces puedes llegar a no saber que hacer, por lo demás es muy bueno y 100% recomendado para aquellos que busquen un desafío

    Rather than a remaster, it's a port. It will entertain mainly rock fans who want to have a complete collection on a new console or complete Souls novices. [Issue#287]

    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.

    Dark Souls Remastered has aged well, despite the progress of its successors. Newcomers might fight it abrasive, but it is still worth a pickup for old fans and new alike. Here’s to a release of Demon’s Souls Remastered.
