    I played this up to the Ornstein and Smough boss battle, and then decided to spend my time on other games, leaving me feeling unsatisfied.

    A lot of time is wasted by just running across the map and avoiding enemies in order to get to boss battles. Another thing that bothered me is that you lose progress by having to recover your souls when you die. I think it was designed this way to

Another thing that bothered me is that you lose progress by having to recover your souls when you die. I think it was designed this way to stretch the game out, rather than to improve player experience.

    I will not be buying more products in this franchise.

    Second most overatted game I've ever played only behind rdr2, so far the only from software games to actually live up to the hype are DS3 and Elden Ring.

    Exacting and exhilarating, this slightly fugly remaster remains a challenging classic. [Aug 2018, p.76]

    Dark Souls Remastered is exactly what the name implies and fans will adore it. I still suck royally at these games. I still want an easy mode so I can manage to get through them without frustration, but the game that spawned a genre is still finely crafted. The jump in framerate and added DLC make this the package to own. For new and old players this is the version to own.

    Virtually every facet of this remastering enhances the experience of the original game, especially the performance. Despite this, it has some negative points.
