"At the end of the day this is the perfect way to play Dark Souls. If you are a new player, the game will still be just as challenging but it will look and feel like a much more...

"While bare-bones on the surface, Dark Souls Remastered is one of the best games of the last 20 years running better than it ever has. New players will find all of the mood,...

It’s one of the greatest games of all time. Super late to finally playing this masterpiece. Bounced off a few times but Elden Ring really helped make this game click with me. I love it!

The best version of an amazing game. Hard, obtuse and confusing, but utterly fascinating and engrossing combat. Arguably the most interesting lore of the entire From Software catalog. The combat is not as fluid as its sequels and is showing its age a bit, but the interconnected world is by far the most engrossing of the whole Souls series.

Want to try a souls-like? Start with this!

I had lots of fun with the old PC version with a few mods added in. This version actually doesn't really need mods to run decently in my experience. I enjoy it because it prizes exploration and patience over raw reflexes, don't be scared because the game isn't nearly as difficult as some "hardcore gamers" make it out to be and what is there is due to the game being a bit too cryptic at times when it comes to character and weapon stats. Be warned that this is primarily made with a gamepad in mind even if mouse and keyboard are technically supported, unlike the original PC version though it doesn't throw a fit if there are other Direct Input peripherals plugged in while you use a Xinput pad. In general if you are on PC and want to get into souls-like this is the game to start with, the second game while playable seems to somewhat think the difficulty was the entire point of this game (it isn't) and the third game havily references this game.
