i really have nothing bad to say about this game, as i think every part of this game is masterfully done. the mental gymnastics you have to do to ration your supplies or whether or not to kill a zombie (fuck crimsons) is super immersive and really grasps the title of "survival horror". the camera angles and sound design add to the immersion of helplessness and grasping for lifelines, and the story may be predictable but it still hits when it comes down to it. nothing in this game comes cheap, and it takes a great deal of effort to get things done and it makes it all the more worth it when you get out of that crazy mansion. the map design is absolutely genius and its phenomenal to think something like this was designed all the way back in the 90s. i cant speak much to this game as a remake, but it definitely works amazingly as a survival horror masterpiece.

Still From’s best game, and PTDE with dsfix is still the best way to play. Complaining about a “bad second half” is a great way to see who got their opinions from YouTube, because the lordvessel areas are neither bad nor half the game. Izalith is the only thing holding this back from perfection and it’s way too small of a flaw to hold Dark Souls back from being a masterpiece.
