Customer Ratings & Reviews

“Dark Souls is a very good game and the remastered shows that. It cleans up the game's textures and performance, while adding small tweaks to the online experience. Things work now where they didn't before while the core gameplay experience still resonates.” -Kotaku

TL:DR - Painful!! But in a fun way? Not for casual gaming. Graphics are a bit dated, but didn't bother me. Great for those who like to really invest time and practice into a game. It is fun, especially once you get hang of it, but it is unapologetically punishing and constantly throws harsh situations at you to keep you on your toes! Not for casual gaming where you just want to relax for a little while. Definitely not. As for graphics, that's a so-so. They are improved in the remaster, but it still shows its age a bit. Still, I enjoyed it! Dark souls 3 is the best tho!

Love the improvements made on this game much more fluid than previous version

Great game with satisfying loop. Difficult but feels fair and rewarding.

Great game, brings me back to the days of taking turns dying with friends.

Game is great, remaster looks great. Having and excellent time playing this.

Tough, but rewarding. Enhanced visuals, better sound . Worth the money.

They did a nice job of bringing the game to current generation machines but not much else was done other they the improving the frame rate.

The remastered graphics look great. This game is fun and challenging.

The graphics are sharp (not as good as I had hoped), the entire game world is interconnected, the combat is top notch, and the lore and ambiance is amazing. You’ll miss quality of life improvements they made in the later games if you’re a souls veteran coming back to this game but if you’re new to the soulsbourne series this is a perfect way to start.

Looks great, plays great, really smooth......still very difficult and makes me want to break my controller sometimes. You know, typical dark souls.

I've played Dark Souls for years.(3 is still the best) the upgrade in graphics made the game smoother than the original. The sound is significantly more clear and emersive particularly when using headphones. Yes I still died a lot but that's this game and I appreciated the victories that much more.

Came from Bloodborne and began getting into the Souls series. Dark Souls has been an amazing and challenging experience for me, with so many classes and challenging areas to navigate through and so many secrets, I can highly recommend this game to those who are up to the challenge!

Game has aged but the game is very responsive. The graphics are decent looking but the gameplay feels overall solid.

Dark Souls is an influential game that still rocks the gaming world today as it did back in 2011. Now with 4K/60fps, and many other improvements, this is literally the best way to experience Dark Souls. Veterans will find this game familiar but newcomers beware as this game is not for the faint of heart.

Finally a game that respects it's players and doesn't treat them like children. This game does not hold your hand. Unforgiving and frustrating at first while you learn the complex gameplay mechanics. You're gonna die a lot. But in the end you feel a sense of accomplishment which is very rewarding.

This isn't necessarily for old players. This port is mostly for the ones who only played Bloodborne and/or Dark Souls 3. At least we don't have to witness the disaster of Blighttown anymore. I'm honestly happy they remastered it cause my PC is not good for gaming and my PS3 is dead

Dark Souls Remastered is the same game that players fell in love with years ago. It has the same challenging gameplay, online system, and brutal game mechanics that we all know and love, all now in Full HD at 60fps. If you haven't tried this game before, now's the perfect time to do it.

Beat it many years ago and it's just as hard as I remember. Picked it up because I realized I didn't have this one to go along with 2 and 3 on my ps4. Although these games are not for everyone they are legendary if you like a challenge so grab it if you like hard games.

What a difference seven years and a new console makes. Same OG Dark Souls with enhanced graphics and in 60fps. If you're a Souls fan, this needs to be in your collection. Now you can have all 3 Dark Souls games (and Bloodborne) on PS4. Now we just need Demon's Souls Remastered.
