‘If you’ve played Dark Souls before then there isn’t really anything in this version of the game that makes for a compelling reason to part with your cash. The term ‘Remastered’ implies that a great amount of work has gone into this release, and although it’s a definite improvement – especially with regards to the frame rate – it isn’t extraordinary.’
Those who’ve yet to experience Dark Souls, there is no better way to do so than with this remaster, and soon you can play it on the move!
