DARK SOULS™: REMASTERED

Walk through poisonous swamps? Fall through invisible paths? Get wrecked by a bunch of twigs and fire? Kill a beloved creature? Get called "Fatty" by other players? 10/10 This game is the one you need!! Never felt such joy! Honestly!

Finished the game and beat all the bosses. This game really tests your patience—not because of the bosses, but the paths leading to them, which can get pretty frustrating.

Overall, it’s Dark Souls, so what do you expect? To be honest, it’s a great game, but it does have some shortcomings, especially near the end.

Would I recommend it? Absolutely. The vibe, the world, the story, and the bosses make it worth playing.

É possível separar minha vida antes e depois do Dark Souls. Vale muito a pena jogar. Chega a ser viciante.

obviously a classic game, but if you haven't played it because everyone says it's hard, don't listen to them. i'm not a particularly good gamer and i don't have problems with these games. once you learn how to play, you'll just slip into a groove and your hands will do all the work for you. it's great

i genuinely enjoy dark souls, im a new person to dark souls and i love what it has so far
im getting used to the parries n whatever and it's prty cool

One of the best Game i played. The game is Hard For First time but after First time you cant leave the game .

This is my first souls game. Challenging yet rewarding. I haven't played many games, but this is the best game I played so far. If DS 2 and 3 are going to be better than this, then I cannot wait till I get my hands on those 2.

It's amazing, a great game will live forever, and a long as i am still breathing i will continue playing it

Vanilla/PTDE matchmaking rules for online were better imo, especially because red invaders invaded infinitely up so sometimes you could get a cool level 600 superboss to bite chew on the heels of, but it's still dork souls. Still the best one too there's few other games like this one. Back in 2011 when this game first came out on ecksbawk I got crack addicted to fighting people online with my virtual guy and I never died once. The number of people who go human while online and just disconnect you now is cute. I miss it when a clueless host would have two friends I could try to cannibalize (real). Invaders not being able to heal with humanity or shrooms is also a big sad cringe but I'm over it I guess people only duel now or do freaky gravelord shi* anyway

Buy the game
Play it for like an hour
Cant get past first actual boss
Rage quit for like half a year
Come back
Beat the boss second try
Realize this game is so good
Would recommend

Started the game. Died to a skeleton. Tried again. Died to gravity. Finally beat a boss after 50 attempts—felt like a god. Walked into the next room. Died instantly.

10/10 would cry and play again. Praise the Sun! 🌞

The ultimate stress-relief game. Who needs yoga, meditation, or a hot bath when you can unwind by getting casually one-shot by a skeleton on a ledge or having a jolly knight boot you into the abyss?
Missed a dodge? No problem! Take a sip from your Estus Flask, it is a truly luxurious experience that your character savors it like a fine vintage wine, ensuring every enemy within a 10-mile radius has enough time to coordinate a group assault and personally deliver your funeral. Just lie down for a brief, soothing "YOU DIED" screen meditation.
10/10

This game was a really fun experience altough playing it for 3.5 hours but still I love it, I was playing at my friends house because my pc is litreall shitbox that wont work at all, but still would defientely recommend it!

It's Dark Souls. Enough said. Now buy it and join us....
Oh! And remember, when the game seems to get tough, get good! ;)

Replaying it and it is good fun. If reviews interest you about dark souls then just go for it

It took me 10 years to finish the Prepare to Die Edition. Back in 2014, I abruptly stopped at Gwyn's fog gate and never managed to complete the fight. Now, in 2024, I got pulled back in with the Remastered version.

This game is a gem. While players often associate Dark Souls with its difficulty and jank, in reality, the game is deep—almost poetic. Aiming for 100% achievements requires you to play the game 2.5 times, giving you plenty of time to absorb the untold lore and feel the weight of the world, the setting, and the struggle.

The final boss, Gwyn, is often depicted as an easy or meme-worthy fight, but it’s much more than that. The battle itself feels intimate, almost melancholic, with the haunting piano melody of Gwyn, Lord of Cinder underscoring the fight. Interestingly, the melody is played only on the white keys of the piano, symbolizing Gwyn's desperate avoidance of the darkness he fears. It’s not a triumphant showdown but a sobering confrontation with a god clinging to the remnants of his power and purpose. Gwyn’s aggressive, relentless attacks convey desperation more than dominance, as though he’s fighting not just you but the inevitable passage of time.

Dark Souls is a masterpiece that transcends its reputation, weaving a narrative of solitude, agony, and survival into every aspect of its design.

10/10

What an Evil story. My bro dies bravly. Damn this game is so good. Maybe i will buy the rest of the series after this. Sangat amat Recommended sebelum mencoba elden ring yg gapernah diskon itu wkwk

It's Dark Souls so that's an automatic Recommendation. I do have to say though that it is nice to see the game still being somewhat active. You still get invasions and find summon signs. I even ran into a couple of Gravelords. It's nice to see the game still getting love ^^

If you worship FromSoftware, buy the game.

For being a 2018 "remaster", I expected more. I have never played the original, but I refuse to believe this disaster is a remake.

The graphics are stuck in 2011, UI is dated, movement is janky, and hit registration is horrible. I kept getting hit by enemies that were still pulling their swords back somehow, before they even swung forward. I only played for just over a hour, and that hour was enough to make sure I never touch this again until it gets a remake.

If you have standards and play games for fun rather than for the company behind them, know that this is just a scam. You are not buying a remaster, you are buying the original, with a 2018 release date and a "REMASTERED" in the title.

If you feel like you would enjoy the game nonetheless, then buy it. Just know that you are buying what feels and looks like a 2011 low budget game, not a 2018 remaster.

The game is rly nice it's more like a metroidvania than a souls game it is fuly interconected truly an experience. HIghly recomend

Loved the atmosphere and tone of the game. The combat felt great. It wasn't too easy or too punishing. Overall a great experience.

This is still one of the best or the best souls game that was created by FROMSOFT. I already own the PREPARE TO DIE EDITION before but still bought the remastered version just for nostalgia purposes and I'm still compelled to play this game all over again. A must play despite of its flaws that has already been improved on the sequels and will always be a classic for me.

This game is slow and harsh, but that highlights the real feeling of triumph and weight to every victory and decision. It can at times feel unfair, but its ultimately achievable for anyone willing to adapt and overcome its challenges.

In most cases there are a multitude of ways to make the game easier or more inviting including an arsenal of weapons per build, as well as summons both on and offline.

The difficulty is often overstated, but is undeniably a core part of the experience. Once you understand the mechanics and begin to be able to move with a degree of confidence and freedom you can really appreciate just how fair most (not Capra Demon and Witch of Izalith) boss encounters are to those with the time and patience to learn.

Overall the combat mechanics are a fair 7.5 outta 10,
The story is almost optional but if you engage with it id give it an 8
And the overall experience, due to the synergy of world building and combat a 9/10

Beautiful and stunning game, perfect for those looking for a chill experience. At first, you’ll die a thousand times, but don’t worry, you’ll die a thousand more after that.

8.9/10

Not to echo what so many other people have said about this game and fromsoft’s catalogue curing their depression but it’s true. Solaire will always be my favourite. Praise the Sun 🌞

Praise the sun!, and then, Praise the sun! 10/10

Definitely worth a play. Well worth what you get for only $40. This game lead to a revolutionary series which created an entire genre of games called souls-like. If you would like to see where this all began this game is the beginning of an amazing era of gaming. That being said please be mindful there are many pitfalls in this game. The games first half is certainly some of the best design in all of gaming history however the second half is an absolute train wreck. Witches of Izalith is by far one of the worst areas ever designed in the souls series up there with the frigid outskirts. You can absolutely screw yourself and eliminate all co-op elements by over leveling weapons that will lock you out of co-op in certain areas, and trekking across the world before unlocking teleportation (While helping to build a love for the world) is grating at times. Overall great game and worth the play 8/10

Art with a few butt fister sections but I love it. Played prepare to die edition more so lol.

its a fine remaster of the original, at least it runs better than PTDE

Fun Game a bit confusing a first, but I think that was on purpose

Everyone should play this game if they enjoyed Elden Ring. I've played all souls games except for Sekiro and Demon souls, but this is where it all truly started. Dark Souls 1 is peak and in my opinion you should play all three or non at all!

great game but in reality i would not recommend this game to just anyone

It's quite hard to say something new about this masterpiece. But I love it so much that I can't help adding my two cents and talking about what I enjoy in it.

🏰 Firstly - the level design.
I struggle to think of any other game where I can close my eyes and vividly remember most of the map and its connections, even after years of not playing. Of course, it's not perfect - some locations feel rushed, and some weren’t well-optimized at launch. But that doesn’t affect the overall quality, imo. It excels not just in its visual presentation and atmosphere but also in its intricate, interconnected structure. On top of that, the item and enemy placements create truly unique gameplay scenarios. Can you think of another game that inspires memes purely about it's enemy placements? Take, for example, the infamous catwalk with the Anor Londo archers or the Capra Demon’s tiny, cramped lair. Remembering these moments made me realize that almost every boss, enemy, location, or item in this game has a story, joke, or meme created about it. That alone speaks to how iconic and influential this game truly is.

🗡️ Next—the challenge.
By now, it's almost a cliche (to the point of being worn out) to compare any hard game to Dark Souls. But I don’t think this game is as impossibly difficult as some make it out to be. Sure, it doesn’t hold your hand - there are no difficulty settings, and it throws plenty of tough situations at you to manage. But it never feels unfair (except for maybe a few moments on your first playthrough). Unlike games like Sekiro, where you might hit a wall if you’re not skilled enough, Dark Souls gives you plenty of ways to help yourself if you’re struggling. You can level up, experiment with new strategies or equipment, or even summon other players for help. In a way, this flexibility is how the game adjusts its difficulty.

👥 Lastly - the multiplayer.
There are so many games where multiplayer is either the main focus or a completely separate mode. It’s rare to find one where it’s so seamlessly intertwined with the single-player experience and even tied to the lore, with covenants and their unique gameplay mechanics. This creates an entirely different dynamic among players.
Because of this, you’ll encounter a wide variety of playstyles. Not just the sweats in giant dad armor locking you in backstab chains or the kindest souls who protect you at all costs and sacrifice themselves for you. But also honorable duelists, who bow before and after fighting, face you one-on-one, and refuse to use any unfair items or heals. Or complete goofballs, who spam voice stones and emotes, pulling off the most absurd and hilarious stunts you’ve ever seen. And when all these types of players come together in one lobby, it creates the quintessential Dark Souls multiplayer experience. With the remaster’s six-player slots and dedicated servers, it’s even more chaotic and entertaining.

The remaster also brought other much-needed improvements, like quality-of-life features, bug fixes, and sharper visuals - especially in particle effects. If you haven’t tried this masterpiece yet, you absolutely should. Even with all the games that came after it, improving on different aspects, this one remains a timeless classic. Its impact on the industry is undeniable, and it will always be remembered for how it shaped gaming as a whole.

Great game ruined by an abundance of bloom and the most godawful hackers man can experience. Play offline if you must buy it.

Não sei jogar esse game, sou muito ruim nele, mas é um bom remaster, pega bem no pc,bem otimizado e formoso, só falta remasterizar o 3 agora pra ficar perfect

There are more bad locations in this game then good, somehow though the rest of the game makes up for that.

9/10, cant excuse New Londo Ruins

Dark Souls is a classic for a reason. It may be hard for people to go back to this one if they started with Elden Ring, as the combat is much slower and movement is a bit clunky, but the first half of the game (up to the end of Anor Londo) is still one of the best designed map layouts in any video game to this day. Still a lot of fun with tons of replay value.

This is as if the first game has an HD mod, Resolution+Ratio mod, AND comes with all DLC. If you've ever enjoyed the original, but hated the PC port, this is the PC version for you. I played the life out of DS on the 360, and I almost never played the PTD edition on PC because mods were necessary without an obscure resolution flatscreen, or an old CRT, and the graphics didn't hold up on PC, likely purely bc of that.

This changes everything. I doubt the models were updated; but that doesn't stop the animations from making it seem that way from the textures. Everything about this looks better than DX11 DS2:SOTFS, and ALMOST as good as DS3(Again, I doubt the models were updates, physics is the same, hitboxes and mechanics are largely unchanged, and map geometry is similar.) so this is saying a lot. Esp from someone who played DS1,2,2:SOTFS, and 3 to the end, as well as Sekiro:SDT.

This is a must for anyone trying to get the original Souls feel without buying a PS5 for Demon Souls.

best game i have ever played and also the only game to make me almost punch my fucking screen

Some may call it a demake, but its an all time classic for me. Beat every boss in the game no roll no hit at lv 1 including DLC: Was the best challenge i think i set myself up to do. I heavily recommend. If you're completely new to the souls series this will definitely be a trial by fire for sure, but put your mind to it, I believe you will be able to beat it, just as I have.

Hated it the runbacks and the clunky hitboxes the game is unbalanced my opinion might be not as precise since i ve only finished two fromsoftware elden ring and bloodborne but i hated this games clunkyness

Truly great game. Some extremely memorable boss fights, engaging world design and exploration, and the online play is nice as you can choose how much you want to engage in PVP or just stick to PVE. Will definitely replay on NG+ somewhere down the line

Dark Souls is easy, actually.

I kid, I kid. but it's not as bad as you think.

Dark Souls is one of the most immersive and beautiful games I've ever played. A gorgeous, dying, yet comforting world filled with danger and jolly cooperation. You will not regret, nor forget, finishing this beautifully humbling experience.

Dark Souls is a masterpiece.

With that, I must say goodbye then. Be safe, friend. Don't you dare go Hollow.

I would feel very silly writing a glowing review for a game everyone's already been praising non stop for 13 years, so i'll just say that it is indeed as good as everyone says it is, if not better. It's truly one of a kind.

Well this is of course one of the best videogames of all time. I have played it since my childhood now almost 30 years old and I revisit it occasionally to make builds and beat the game from time to time do if that tells you anything about its incredible replay value, but I feel incredibly proud of myself for officially completing the game 100% by gaining all achievements. It has been a very long journey to get here but it has been worth it and I recommend you try it as well. It may take countless hours and the help of friends but its a great game. Prepare to Die!

This game is a true test of patience if you're aiming to 100% it. it's not just because the game is challenging, but also because of the farming and weapon achievements. that said, the rest of the game is really nice and enjoyable.

This was my fifth souls game, and third one I really dug into (played lots of Elden Ring and Bloodborne, and dipped my toe into Sekiro and Demon's Souls). Definitely worth playing. Decided to try this before DS3 specifically because it's more differently paced than ER and BB, and it does not disappoint. Everything feels like it has *weight* to it, in a good way, but still very much so is clearly the progenitor of the souls games people know and love

Medium difficulty game with tons of explorations an options for both armor and weapons. Would recommend, specially if you like fantasy games fo sho.

Absolute masterpiece of a game. Despite its reputation as a hard game, it is not that hard if you put 2 and 2 together using the 2 non-rotten brain cells and the 5 IQ you got.

Everything is clearly designed and told. All hidden or hard-to-get items are teased in one way or another. Generally the progression on your first playthrough is linear (or rather predictable).

Can't kill some enemies yet? You don't suck (in terms of performance, or as they say, git gud), your progression (stats/weapons) suck. Players have proved time and time again that you really don't need to have good reflex to finish the game, or a mathematically optimized build. Just pick up your weapon of choise, upgrade, scale and enjoy.

I would only really complain on the broken pvp and the absolute ass of twinks you encounter throughout your journey, especially in parish. If you don't intend on doing a PvP build or doing co-op, for your own sanity play offline or hollow.
