DARK SOULS™: REMASTERED

The map design is incredible, the places you wander through are very well connected with each other through elevators or doors. Aside from the map design, the game's atmosphere is astonishing with some deep lore. However, it reflects its age. Some enemy hitboxes were ridiculous and most of the bosses were preeeetty easy, although the runbacks were pretty long. (IMO they were not that long, they were just full of enemies that slowly drained your HP.) If you like dark fantasy and some old-school hard mechanics, this is it. For me, it was pleasing to play this game and see how FromSoftware progressed to Elden Ring. (I had already played Elden Ring and Sekiro before.) As I said, the bosses were easy (moveset-wise), with just 3 or 4 attacks, but there are some bosses that will make you sweat. Ornstein & Smough were pretty tough, they took almost 2.5 hours of my playtime. (I finished the game in only 15 hours, including some side content like Priscilla and Knight Artorias.) And ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ somehow, Firesage Demon took me 1 hour. The game might take 30–40 hours if you're new to the Souls genre, especially if you like exploring places like the Catacombs and Blighttown, or if you struggle with some bosses. According to my experience, if you know where you're going and have watched some videos beforehand, you can boss rush the game pretty fast. I chose to play like this because I love the excitement of the bosses, not the despair of wandering around and exploring. That doesn't mean the map design is bad, it's actually amazing, but exploring can get irritating because of the enemy density and the slow movement of your character. To sum it up, the game is perfect with its flaws. Those flaws never lowered the enjoyment I got from playing it. SPOILER I wanna mention the ending of the game. I did not understand a thing. :D After gathering all 4 Lord Souls and opening the endgame area called Kiln of the First Flame, I just ran to Gwyn and beat him on my first try because I knew you could parry him. I just didn't think his attacks would be that easy to parry. After beating him, I thought it would be fine to light the bonfire... and poof, the game was over. I got thrown straight into New Game+ without any warning. I was expecting at least a lore cinematic or some kind of indicator that lighting the bonfire would immediately end the game.

Words can't describe how much this game helped and how much it means to me. DSR is my absolute favorite game of all time; it was always there right when I needed it most. Praise the sun, chooms

豪玩，魂一对比现代魂游就像古代名著对比现代名著，有一种复古的美。

Apparently I Enjoy Suffering I bought Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition years ago and platinumed it. Years later, I thought, “You know what? I haven't suffered enough.” So I bought Remastered… and platinumed that too. Apparently, paying twice to get murdered wasn't enough. Dark Souls is still a masterpiece - brutal, atmospheric, addictive, and somehow impossible to put down. 10/10 — Bought it twice, platinumed it twice, died thousands of times. No regrets. I clearly haven't learned my lesson.

Шедевр. Залипнул на 2 недели. Думаю еще буду возвращаться если захочу закрыть игру на все достижения, а пока хватит и двух концовок, еще длс надо пройти.

git gud
