    This game is fun and very challenging. I use the third person view to play it even though you can switch to first person. It’s a lot of fun and a good time killer!

    Still haven't beaten it, but its a great game to play for a few hours on a plane ride. Runs great on the switch no complaints.

    For those who never got to play dark souls before. Like me, it’s perfect and on the go. Haven’t had any issues with it and it doesn’t bother me that it’s only 30fps

    I'm no technical expert, but the game runs beautifully in both docked and handheld mode so far as I can tell. -1 star for the difficulty. Everything you've heard is true; this game is brutally hard, especially for new players.

    It was just recently my friend's birthday, so i bought him this game. He has mentioned that it's a great game on itself, but its especially great on the go.

    Overall, for a switch the graphics were good, but I found the premise of the game difficult to follow. It probably is a game that lends itself more to those who are already familiar with the series.

    I got this as a gift for my little brother, the game itself has good mechanic and an amazing story. Something that we find disappointing, was the soundtrack, usually the game doesn't count with a music variety on some parts.

    Dark souls remastered is a super fun and very frustrating game! I love to play it I just hate that I die so much! Defiantly worth playing again and again!

    My brother in law walked me through the mechanics. I found this to be very helpful. And allowed the game to be much more fun. Not for my kids.

    Sure, it doesn't look as great as the other versions, and doesn't run as smoothly. However, it is now possible to praise the sun... on the go!

    Loved this game. Graphics are still on par. No slowdowns seen. Challenge is the same level as I remember it playing through the first time.

    My son loves this game, very open and free to roam concept. Lots of skill and thinking needed to play, can't just run and gun.

    Played the original game to death. This new iteration brings back the same feelings but now I can take it with me on the go. A must buy for me.
