Dark Souls Remastered Reviews
Dark Souls Remastered finally brings the series to a Nintendo console with a very competent and solid port. It's ported from the older generation consoles, but it still looks and plays pretty well. There are a few minor control issues, but it's mainly due to not getting dedicated button mapping for the Nintendo platform. If you're a fan of the series or a newcomer, the game is still worth a look.
If you've never played Dark Souls before and you have a Nintendo Switch now, you should definitely give that game a chance.

Dark Souls: Remastered offers almost the same experience as the original game, and with some well-designed changes you can enjoy it like never before. Although maybe the developers should have changed a bit more.

Dark Souls: Remastered on Nintendo Switch might not be the prettiest or best-performing version, but that doesn’t hold back what it manages to achieve. Bringing handheld portability to the series, this is the version of Dark Souls: Remastered most worth considering for those wishing to return to its untold stories and unforgiving fights.
Dark Souls Remastered is not only a great addition to the Switch growing library, but also the idea of finally having the game on-the-go enhance the experience even more. Although the game performance in the Nintendo console, left something to be desired.

Dark Souls Remastered is a highly recommended game, especially for those of you who have not been able to play it once, and have not directly dared due to its fame as an impossible game. If you have never tried it, this is the opportunity, on the other hand, if you already had it in your day and you are not an unconditional of the saga, it is a title that you can pass, but for Souls fans it was an appointment that we could not miss. For those who enjoy PVP, it is also good news due to the increase in the number of players, they will be able to get more out of it.

These issues do lower the score a bit and affect my overall enjoyment of the game. That being said, the portability factor is a huge one. Is this the definitive version of Dark Souls? No, I would say that belongs to Dark Souls Remastered on PC (or maybe current gen consoles). But if you just want to go through the game for the 20th time and you want to do so on the go, this is a really quality release. I can’t recommend it for PVP due to the lag, and you would generally not want to do that on the go with WiFi anyways. So this is a great release, as long as you know what you are getting. It certainly justifies the full $59.99 price, but I don’t think that I can recommend paying for the Nintendo Online service just to PVP in this game. What I can recommend is taking this game on long trips, like I did a couple weeks ago, and just soaking in that glorious Soulsborne horror while you are sitting in bed.
If you have ever wanted to experience Dark Souls, or have been dying to take it on the road with you, the Switch version of it is a great choice.
There’s never been a better time to jump in and play the original Dark Souls. Whether you’ve played it before and want to re-explore the expertly crafted world of Lordran or experience it for the first time. It’s hard to improve on something that was already so praised but with some visual, performance and quality of life improvements the team at QLOC that handled the remaster have managed to do so while still remaining faithful to what made the game great in the first place. While some of the in game assets are beginning to show their age and there isn’t anything new in the game content-wise for those that have already played through the game (possibly numerous times) it seems the true goal for this release was to make it accessible to those with current generation consoles and improve the performance. And that they’ve well and truly nailed.
Dark Souls is one of the greatest video games of all time and my personal favourite Soulsborne game to date.
Dark Souls Remastered keeps the original Dark Souls experience, improving it thanks to a Full-HD graphics (up to 4K if played on PS4 Pro or Xbox One X) along with a smooth and funnier gameplay, possible thanks to the new frame-rate, now locked on 60fps in every moment of the adventure, including Blighttown.

It's simply the best version of a great game, and even if the changes are marginal, that still stands.
If you have previously played the original, there are little changes here to warrant returning to Lordran (unless you want to of course). However, the core of the game is still one of the most intriguing, challenging, and beautifully created gaming experiences currently available; so, I wholeheartedly recommend picking it up despite its flaws
Let’s not look the Dark Souls Remastered as a Remastered game and look this game as a new 2018 action RPG. The point is that Dark Souls is still one of the best action RPG even as a “2018 all new game”. Now, experiencing the Dark Souls is so much better than before, because of the amazing 60 frame per second that upgrade our Dark Souls experience to the next level. Dark Souls Remastered is a “Must-Buy” game for both new players that never played Dark Souls before and veteran fans of this series, even if they played the original Dark Souls more than 1000 hours like me!! Don’t waste your time and begin one of your best hardcore challenging adventures in gaming history with Dark Souls Remastered, an amazing masterpiece by From Software.

With all of that said, it's still only the slimmest of steps up from what most people who are interested in Dark Souls have already played to death back on the PlayStation 3.
This remastered version managed to present the game in shiny smooth way. That makes experienced players to double dip in glorious 60fps. While new players will experience game unlike others.

If you haven’t played the original Dark Souls yet, the remastered version is your best chance to enter its dark, sad and amazing world. But if you are a hardcore Souls fan and already cracked through the previous games, its 40 dollars price tag might not worth the nostalgia.

If there was more attention given towards improving what was already a great game, Dark Souls Remastered could have been perfect. Instead, it falls somewhere in this half-hearted limbo. Finally, it has a very stable and high frame-rate, but the collision and hit-detection is still unfairly off. This is one of the defining classics of the seventh generation consoles. It spawned its own sub-genre of action RPGs and gave From Software an unfathomable amount of credibility. It deserves better than this. If Scholar of the First Sin gets extra polish and refinement, it is tragic that the first entry in the trilogy does not get the same effort. When the inevitable day comes when Demon's Souls gets a remake or remaster, hopefully it gets more care than Dark Souls.
It seems that Bandai Namco has surpassed itself this time by improving and developing Dark Souls to suit the needs of the technological age. The high accuracy of the graphics and the possibility of playing on the 4K screens for the development of audio to provide a system of six-player play, no series lover should ignore this part

Dark Souls Remastered brings the much needed 60 FPS experience back to the series. This is an essential remaster that was long needed and it manages to tick all the right boxes.
