Flawed masterpiece. Easily one of the most unique, creative, and greatest games ever made. It can also be incredibly frustrating and soul-breaking, but most of all the unfinished / rushed parts of the game are very apparent. Some design choices are questionable, but the wonder of this game and it's amazing world, lore, boss fights, music, atmosphere and overall design are amazing. Of course, in hindsight this was a revolutionary game for the style that it popularized, and was further refined by FromSoft. As for the Remaster, it is overall well done. It is lacking much needed QoL features and could have gone further in updating the graphics, but with the terrible quality of the original PC port, it is an acceptable upgrade and updates the visuals while maintaining the same art direction.
