  • Dark Souls Remastered could possibly be one of the best games on Nintendo Switch, but there are a few things you should know before you spend your money on it. No need to review this one, it's a great game, maybe for some the best, bar perhaps Hollow Knight!
    Consider joining the SwitchUp family, if you enjoy what you see (or at least a good chunk of it, nobody's perfect)

    As a long time Souls fan, I love the Switch version. Portability fits the game well. And even playing on the TV is pretty good. Sure in some ways I kind of wish we got a bit more of an upgrade to the graphics, but at the same time the older style has a charm of its own. One argument I've seen on several videos is that a lot of people prefer the way Bonfires look in the original release and on Switch over the way the PS4/Xbox ONE/PC Remastered Bonfires look. I tend to agree with this. There's a charm in the way the original version of the game looked. Also in graphical comparison videos, it just seems like the Switch version is a bit more brighter and cleaner looking. This is a god send if you ask me. And even when comparing it to the older versions of the game Dark Souls on Switch looks like its still been cleaned up which is great.

    I still can’t believe I’m playing dark souls while laying on the couch with football on the tv in the background..I bought it knowing the sound issues & button mapping problem, but it’s still totally worth it..I haven’t had any FPS issues at all, with headphones on the sound isn’t bad, it is noticeable but not a game breaker..plus it’s $40 and not $60 which is a huge plus..I’ve played a ton of DS2, DS3, bloodborne but this is my first time with part 1 so I’m very happy I waited for this version, oh btw, the brightness wasn’t bad for me either, overall performance I’d give it an 8.5/10..this video answered every question I had before I bought this game so thanks for the good video 👍

    Honestly, From-Soft games are not all that hard. They are just brilliantly designed to make you feel weak. And there are no difficulty settings. Once you get a couple hours to figure it out you'll be fine. I actually think the difficulty is pretty close to breath of the wild.

    I watched Digital Foundry's video of the audio differences - and I could tell the difference with my iPhone 6S's speakers. They thought the quality difference was significant, and I agree. The audio on the Switch sounds very muffled. That said, the Switch's audio also sounded "closer" when I tried on my headset. Something is very different, possibly more than the compression.

      yes I encourage u to give it a shot.. it is surprising as u would expect a very primitive blueprint but it is instead an already formed Dark Souls with an extremely focused vision. Demon Souls was the real breakthrough, the most innovative and the most experimental. In a way it is the best DS but also the most unforgiving.. for example u do not have bonfires (or whatever they are in demon's souls) unless u beat the boss first. Something like Ghost n'Goblins I guess: u enter a level and u have clear it to the end no matter what. Then u have world tendency to make things even harder, open up new passages but close others... so many great ideas they sacrificed in order to gain a more mainstream market and create Dark Souls, hard yes but more accessible and less over the top weird.

    If your turned off of a port of a game that runs better on a handheld than it originally did on any pc or console because of the sound quality not being up to par, your a difficult person to please . I played on pc with a dual shock 4 using ds4windows so my buttons have never correctly coordinated with the controls as displayed, but I never really look at them, anyway . All of the buttons are in the same position they were in for their coinciding action . To be honest, the offset analog sticks were harder to get use too and going from a trigger R2 L2 to the bumper had a slight learning curve but once you find your sweet spot (figuring out how you like to hold the device for comfort and efficiency) it's just as easy to immerse yourself as it always was .

      The game isn't nearly as bad as a lot of people think. I'm a long time fan myself and when I first got the game my buddy told me I should pick it up at the time. It was 20 bucks. I told him I wasn't sure I'd want to buy a game that's hard and then play it for a night and never pick it up again. He told me that I would definitely get more than 20 bucks of fun out if it. I said okay and bought it. Fast forward to present day, I've beat the game twice (and played through 4 times trying to max everything out each time), have spent hundreds of hours in the game and loved every single second. Same friend of mine who told me to get it, now hates the game, never picks it up, won't even discuss the game or anything. I find that a real shame because I credit him with getting me to try one of my favorite games (somewhere in my top 5).
      As for the difficulty, that's actually something that was played up by Bandi Namco rather than From Soft. The series creator explained that for him the difficulty wasn't to be a challenge but rather to enhance the rest of the experience and game world. To him it was never about "this game is the hardest game ever" but rather it was about "this will expand the meaning of everything, make the game more rewarding, and give greater context for this universe."
      Dark Souls 1 is my favorite in the Soulsborne series and this game deserves every bit of praise it gets.

For a game that requires item management through menus that don't pause the game it ultimately destroyed the game for me. It's actually worse than it seems as well due to any text entry uses the OS keyboard meaning those 2 buttons temporarily reverse. It's kind of hard to swallow that the people who did the port are actually that dumb! Might delete my save and start from scratch but only once I'm ready to focus 100% on DS (in the absence of a patch).
