I just want to get one thing out of the way: the remake is better. don't let anyone tell you otherwise, the remake is better. omnidirectional rolling while locked on, a super epic new soundtrack, shortcuts added where they were desperately needed, incredible sound design and some of the best visuals that video games have to offer. it is the better game, period.

BUT

I think i kinda prefer this version.

I don't know, man. maybe its the dreary, oppresive atmosphere, or the incredible soundtrack, which, while not as cinematic as the remakes, has a vibe that is unmatched, or maybe it was the fact that i wiped the floor with nearly every boss which was incredibly satisfying after suffering so much in my original playthrough. i don't know. I just really enjoyed my time with this version. it's honestly become one of my favorites of the fromsoft souls games.

but seriously, play the remake first, and if you like it, THEN play this version.

não vou dar 5 estrelas pq, apesar de entender q foi o primeiro jogo da série, feito por uma equipe ainda não experiente, em um processo de desenvolvimento cheio de limitações, acabou me decepcionando um pouquinho. Apesar disso, diverti-me bastante e achei até melhor que dark souls em alguns aspectos, como ambientação e armas (primeira vez que faço uma run usando uma arma de fogo pq achei o dano bom)

tenho mais coisas pra dizer mas, agora, tô com preguiça. Outra hora eu volto

Souls decisamente sbilanciato, tutto sommato divertente

dark souls would shamelessly rip this game off just 3 years later

Been playing this off and on for a while now, and it was a long, frustrating road to the finish line, I can safely say that it is a good game. There is a lot of clunkiness pervading every aspect of the game (losing half of you health bar if you die ONCE is dumb as shit), but it's still the blueprint of what we have now, and it has its own charm about it. Allant is still one of the coolest boss fights in the series' history.
