i bought the remastered version last year, never played any dark souls before that.
I first played bloodborne and platinumed that.
Dark souls def shows it age but its a very good game, saying that some of the early boss fights are a bit simple as in mechanics. The level of difficulty also spiked for me in a lot of places, I soloed everything including the dlc, had some major problems at a boss fight called smough and Ornstein. died 26 billions times.
And there is the notorious blightown which i did manage to complete in one go without dying, it most of been horrific for people playing it with 10 fps. remaster version has no fps loss.
Game is a must for any one. the lore, the weapons, the locations it is fantastic.
9/10 game for me
bloodborne 10/10
other to souls games 8/10
