I still remember how hard and challenging this game was... The graphics are so good back in the days, the gameplay also has its unique vibe.. dark souls vibe, it become the identity of DS itself.

My very first souls game, it was really the first of its kind.

The souls journey for me is like an episode of my life and I can't explain it in a few lines. I was lucky enough to have found this genre.

If you not yet tried it, it's no doubt you will in love with it.

If you know the trip downstairs will be long, hard, and sometimes uncomfortable, but you want to take it anyway because you know it will reward you like nothing else – if that noise downstairs leaves you too curious to climb back into bed and cover your ears – then Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition is waiting for you at the bottom of the stairs. I suggest you go and investigate. A deep, dark, challenging and impossibly rewarding fantasy RPG, sadly given a straight and perfunctory port from console.

Even with some graphical hiccups, it remains superior to the console counterparts, offering more content, better graphical options and a frame rate that is steady throughout. Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition is an experience like no other that will invoke a multitude of emotions while keeping you planted on the edge of your seat.

Dark Souls is a fantastic game from beginning to end. Extremely difficult and challenging, it'll test your skills as a player - but is also rewarding. The expreience and the thrill of having your butt handed to you time and time again is something that is uniquely enthralling - this is a game that gives you a true feeling of accomplishment after overcoming the challenges. Dark Souls remains to this day a cohesive and compelling game that warrants a try -- even if death scares you a bit.
