Quality of Life Improvements and Modern Fixes
Since the original release of the game on PS3 and Xbox 360, Dark Souls has truly come a long way. The Remastered version of the game brings about a ton of great quality of life improvements to update some of the more outdated mechanics, making it feel a little fresher as a result. For instance, if you’re intimidated by the game’s ‘difficulty,’ it’s now much easier for players to team up with their friends to go through the game as a co-op experience. The password matching system from Bloodborne has been brought over to Dark Souls Remastered, which means that you can summon your friends to your game if you are both using the same in-game password. In addition to that, co-op phantoms now get to consume their own Estus, making the experience a little smoother.
There are a few other elements that have been improved, such as being able to use up multiple soul items at a time, instead of having to pop them one by one. Dark Souls Remastered is looking better than ever, and now that most of its minor blemishes have been addressed, this game ends up being the best one to play, especially for newcomers to the series.
