    Played DS2 sans dlc partway through on PC, but playing this on my bigscreen tv is even better. Beat Bloodborne and now enjoying DS2 while going through ng+ on BB. DS2 is a very enjoyable experience, though I like the world interconnectivity of DS1, DeS, and Bloodborne better.

    This is one challenging game for newcomers to the series. It runs beautifully at 60 FPS and includes all DLC that was released on previous generation consoles.

    This games combat is amazing and very punishing. If you get this game be prepared to die and to not know what you're doing. This game makes you explore everything and doesn't give you many hints if any at all. A true game for the hardcore.

    This game looks fantastic compared to the original version but the increased difficulty had made this less than enjoyable for me. A lot of people aren't having the same troubles as me so I won't fault the game. It is a great remake though.

    Demon Souls and Dark Souls I are still the best in the series. While the game has everything you think it would, it just felt way too simple. Either I am amazing at these games now, or they dumbed down the AI for newcomers. Still worth picking up if you missed this game on the previous consoles.

    More Dark Souls. more dying. This game is hard, and will make you angry. However - it also means that success is that much sweeter, knowing that you actually earned it instead of having it spoon fed to you.

    This game series has a reputation for being difficult, but that is part of the appeal and fun. If you have patience, and like these type of fantasy, action-rpg-ish then you'll probably have a good time with it.

    It's Dark Souls. By now you are either on board with that concept, or my review isn't going to change your mind. If you are still on the fence, I'd suggest Bloodborne as your starting point.

    It's a little outdated on the graphics side...I know it's a remaster...I guess I got used to bloodborne...it's a tough game that requires patience...I would recommend this to a serious gamer that likes a challenge.

    I bought this game after playing Bloodborne and hearing this was done by the same developers. Picked it up on Black Friday for a great price and have been enjoying it. Well worth the $20.

    Must have if you have played the others. Will not disappoint. If is very hard but you should be used to that from the others in the series. If you have not played them.... Prepare to die.

    This game is amazing. Whether you are new to the Souls series or just starting out, this game is a must buy. I've already spent over 180 hours on my Sorceror and can't stop playing.

    Dark Souls is a very frustrating and rewarding challenge to any gamer. The games are very hard and demanding. The replayability is very high with these games. If you do not want a challenging/tough gaming experience, then play something else.
