Dark Souls: Remastered2018

Dark Souls – A masterpiece with small weaknesses Dark Souls is the beginning of a stunning story and impressively proves how much attention to detail can be in a game world. The level design is particularly impressive: the world is incredibly thoughtful, interwoven and full of secrets. It is a great feeling to suddenly return to an already known place after hours and understand how everything is connected. Despite these strengths, however, Dark Souls could not continuously pick me up. I found some areas less successful, and the opponent design could not always convince me. In addition, I missed this very special feeling, which I had for example in Bloodborne or Dark Souls 2. Something about the atmosphere and the feel of these two titles gripped me much more. And of course Schandstadt must not go unmentioned. An area that you probably don’t forget so quickly – but not necessarily for the right reasons. The bottom line is that Dark Souls is an impressive game that has earned an enormous place with its thoughtful game world and the foundation of an unforgettable story. Even if it does not come close to the feel of Bloodborne or Dark Souls 2, it is an experience that you should definitely have played as a Souls fan.
