    Such a hard hard game but so rewarding when you beat a boss or get back to your body after dying. Taking this game anywhere has made me fall in love again.

    I wasn’t sure I’d like this game especially since some of the other big ports seem to struggle on the switch. But Dark Souls runs perfectly and I’ve been addicted to it since I bought it. It’s reputation is real though, this game is unforgiving but with practice and patience it is definitely a fantastic addition to the switch library.

    Dark Souls looks very clean on the handheld screen. It is a difficult game but I like that you can save at any point. It helps when you are traveling!

    The topic really says it all. If you’re a fan of the series but want the convenience of portability this is it. Not a perfect port but still very hood

    Punishingly brutal as are all of the Dark Souls games, but remastered beautifully.

    I have given this game 4 stars, because the quality of the nintendo switch version makes it a 3, but the game itself is a 5. Hopefully that makes sense. The game itself is incredibly imaginative, yet relentlessly challenging. Only pro gamers like myself should attempt this game. But yeah, the nintendo switch really kills the visuals of this game, but if you want to suffer the cruelty of this game on the go this is the way to do it.

    Have this game for Xbox, but it is so much better to be able to pick up and play on switch. Plays and runs great.

    Absolutely love this game. My son played it on the Xbox for a while and likes it even more on the Switch. Well worth getting again for the portability. It's also better to have the cartridge than the electronic version so that he can share it with friends. I would recommend this to others.
