    The game that introduced the souls-like game genre into the game world. One of the truly revolutionary games. The storytelling of the game is very mysterious and impressive. Fascinating world and level design. Legendary game characters and their stories. Various gameplay dynamics. Various items and skills. Fun combat mechanics. Overall great bosses and various enemies.

This game perfectly characterizes the sensation of adventure and the discovery in which the admiration such as "wow" are all the time coming out of the mouth, due to the incredible world and its decoration, for its incredible soundtrack, which perfectly accompanies the environments both of the bosses and of certain areas of the game and that is another positive point, their bosses, creatures which manage to impact the visual and the genius of the combat, some of them with puzzle mechanics which make the combats much more varied . The difficulty, which is what makes these titles stand out the most, is actually not so unfair, but is very fair to the player, having powerful enemies in one area but weaker in the previous one. However, despite having all these positive points, it has some negative points such as recycling some bosses and respawning these as normal enemies, however this is not so bad since you can obtain the objects of those respective bosses. And the other negative aspect is the multiplayer, despite having a very healthy community that is totally willing to help the most novice players and have fun, it is the limited availability of being able to carry out invasions or even help someone due to the little activity taking away a point in favor. Likewise, if you are looking to live an adventure full of memorable fights and a splendid community, this is your game, but you have to be patient in the first levels because you can be somewhat weak, however as you progress you can help other players who be starting and teach them to be as strong as you.… Expand

    I love this game. I played it before on the gen prior to PS4, and i 100% it again. My first time experiencing the DLC as well. DS Remastered is a nice package for any newcomer to the franchise.

    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.

    Fun gameplay and amazing level design with a great story telling and world building, although it's pretty hard to understand in first glance. Overall, the best game of the trilogy made more accessible to people that don't have PC or older consoles.

It is easily the most difficult Platinum Trophy I have ever earned. (To be fair, I made it harder on myself by popping all the Boss Souls in my NG cycle which led to me spending hours fighting and dying to Four Kings at NG+2 or 3.)

    The story in this game requires a lot of digging and reading item descriptions (and probably some guides) but once you get it it's a great story that leaves you wanting more details. The gameplay is where this game shines. I got absolutely brutalized my first playthrough but once I got a handle on it after playing hours of Dark Souls 1-3 and Bloodborne it became some of the most satisfying gameplay I've experienced. This and Bloodborne are the two games where finally beating a boss after slamming my head against a wall for hours on end made me cry tears of victory. It's a feeling only possible in games this difficult that require practice to get down the timing and strategies needed to succeed. After getting the Platinum in this game, I've replayed it several times because it has great replayability. It is one of few games that I would liken to comfort food or watching your favorite movie. Most of the environments in this game are really well designed and visually impressive.

    That being said, there are glaring flaws in this game. I take two points off this score for the Bed of Chaos boss fight alone. I have fought and defeated all but two of the boss fighting in the Souls series and Bed of Chaos is probably the worst designed fight of any of them. Capra Demon is also a slog but would be forgivable if BoC was a better fight.

    I would strongly recommend this game to anyone who enjoys a challenging video game. Success requires a lot of practice and learning along the way and therefore feels all the more rewarding.    … Expand

Something that irritates me though about this game was how many reviewers on YouTube would be saying don't buy this, because it doesn't improve much at all. This logic only applies to people on PC who own the original PTDE. If you're a console player or don't have the PTDE, and you want to play Dark Souls, this is the best way. Hell, even if you have the original PC release, it's still better, because it runs at a proper 60fps with no physic bugs. There's definitely a reason for it to be the only version on PC.… Expand

The game itself is dated but solid. It deserved much better treatment than it received. It’s a shame that this game was treated in this regard, meanwhile Demon’s Souls remake received a full-on remake and is a masterclass. But even for a remaster, this is sub par compared to other recent remasters. The bar has been lowered with this one.

    Dark Souls has a simple but extremely compelling story that isn't forced upon you like most other games. The characters are great as well, and each one has its own amazing personality. As for the gameplay it is the best I have ever seen. Never have I seen something so difficult yet so fair. The game is difficult, yes, but the devs want you to beat the game so as long as you keep pushing and don't go hollow you will prevail. It's this genius game design that makes the game so replayable and so incredible on the first run. For newcomers please don't use guides, and only use wikis when absolutely necessary, just throw yourself at the wall until eventually it caves in. I don't even need to talk about boss battles, obviously those are amazing. The variety in builds is extraordinary and makes the game infinitely replayable.

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.

    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

    It isn't a perfect game, you can easely see that the gameplay isn't polished. But about the lore and zones design maybe a 9 ( after Anor Londo the game declines, you can see that they didn't have much time). It also has some bosses that aren't very interesting. Indeed, it isn't the worst soulslike but it isn't perfect.

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 came to this game late, but it is truly a masterpiece. I’m so glad I decided to go back and play it, even in 2021. This game is timeless, and plays so well even many years after its creation. While some complain about the difficulty of Dark Souls, It is truly worth the effort to play and experience the game. Don’t miss it.

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.

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

    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

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.

    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

    Early game and DLC rocks, almost everything in between is either mediocre or sucks, it is pretty clear how rushed the second part of the game was, sad how the bring down a bit the overall rest of the game but it still is a very good game.

    The level design, atmosphere and sense of adventure solidify this game as an all time classic. While later entries refine the bosses and base combat system, the sense of adventure present in the open world structure of this game still hasn't been replicated properly.

That being said the back end of the game (ESPECIALLY LOST IZALITH) really leave a sour taste. Clearly some of the worst content in any FROMSOFT title ever and shockingly poor for just about any comparably budgeted game… Expand

    Sé que a muchos os gustaría dar dislike a mi opinión. 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 quiteSé que a muchos os gustaría dar dislike a mi opinión. 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

    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.
