Review Gangreen 4/5 · Jun 23, 2026

Finally I am diving into this

So, after playing Elden Ring and Lies of P (and a few less noteworthy Souls clones) I figure I have to dive into this one. I am certainly glad I am getting into this well after everyone else has figured out all the tricks and secrets. I don't know I have the patience for learning everything on my own.

So, after playing Elden Ring and Lies of P (and a few less noteworthy Souls clones) I figure I have to dive into this one. I am certainly glad I am getting into this well after everyone else has figured out all the tricks and secrets. I don't know I have the patience for learning everything on my own.

But I very much enjoy the slow, methodical grind through the world. Pressing your luck and searching in every corner for something noteworthy. It seems -- I use this term very carefully -- easier now that Souls has been more well established as a game type and I know what I signed up for. I am sure as I delve into the game it will make me regret even saying that.

Copy of my review from the xbox360 version:

What can I even say about Dark Souls that hasn't been said a million times? Likely nothing.

This game is a masterpiece in so many ways. Art design, world/lore building, world/level design, combat pacing, etc etc etc. The majority of things that seem like "flaws" of this game are really things that are still good in my opinion, they were just improved upon in future iterations.

In my opinion there were two issues with this game and one was fixed with the Remaster. First is performance, I played on the xbox 360 and let me tell you, people are not exaggerating about the frame drops in places like Blighttown but that's fixed now. The other is a slightly under baked feeling in some final areas due to limited development time. I personally disagree with the "second half of this game sucks" people, but I'd be lying if I didn't say that the first half of this game isn't much better than the back half, and there are small moments (mostly in Lost Izalith) where that lack of needed development time shows itself strongly.

Despite the actual flaws this game has though, and the parts that haven't aged perfectly, this game remains one of the best of all time.

5 / 5 Stars
